Political
changes are a particularly difficult thing to write about when writing a children’s story. All
too often it’s the case of portraying one side as the heroes whilst the others
the villains, like Amon and Kuvira in Korra. Suffice it to say this is my least
favourite of the Harry Potter books, not to say it was bad, but I’ll explain
what I mean in the review.
David Yates
steps into the director’s chair for this film, he’ll be the director of all the
remaining Harry Potter movies. And the daunting trial for this movie is that
it’s the longest book of the series, ironically converted into the shortest
movie (counting the 2 deathly hallows movies as one anyway)
Movie made
$939.9m on a $150m budget, but appraisal was a tad more mixed with a 71% on
rotten tomatoes.
