Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 2010

38 | The last time Harry Potter film has terrible writing is in Harry Potter and the Philosopher of Stone and it happened again in this film. The stakes were very low because of how the story exploited the power of magic. Every time the character got into a problem, they easily get away from it. Afterward, there was no sense of danger because we know they will be saved anyway.

Another ridiculous thing was there was no single person or organization to oppose the dark lord aggressively other than Harry Potter and the people he knew. If Lord Voldemort is dangerous and becomes a threat to the wizarding world, there should be a lot of people against him. This film did not show us that and only focus on Lord Voldemort's follower's cruelty.

We did not get a clear picture of how big Voldemort was a threat. Is an only a national threat or an international threat? And if a national threat put all wizards in danger, how do they just live alive normally. This film only said the people frightened by him and his followers but they also let their children go to Hogwarts which was Harry Potter's school. It is even worse when Harry Potter and Hermione are Death Eaters' main targets, Hogwarts is no longer a safe place. And Severus Snape who should be under investigation for Albus Dumbledore's death is the headmaster, The parents of the Hogwarts's students must be careless or something.

Honestly, lord Voldemort is only the interesting character in this film. And sometimes the funny presence of Ron made this film bit better. Other than that The main trio made a lot of blunders when they did not ask for adult help.
