The fated visit to Godric’s Hollow makes particularly good use of the contrast between light and dark, as a fight sends the characters crashing from the shadowy, medieval-looking wizarding world into the brightly lit muggle bedroom next door, as Yates reminds us of the duality at the heart of Rowling’s original creation. Eduardo Serra’s photography paints the forest scenes with an eerie blue silver pallor that’s perfect for a world of magic. The film is also dark in less metaphorical terms. Yates isn’t nodding at 1930s politics here, this is modern rhetoric and yes, it is dark stuff. The opening lines of this film, spoken by Bill Nighy as Minister for Magic, announce that in these dark and menacing times, the ministry will stop at nothing to defend the liberty of its citizens. Drawing strongly on the stuff of fascist propaganda, the Deathly Hallows iteration of the ministry is a fearfully dark place and has been so since Yates first took the helm for Order of the Phoenix.

Yates’ rendering of the Ministry of Magic has not been called Orwellian for nothing.

But it is Yates, the director of films five to seven, who has realised Rowling’s message by using the imagery of twentieth century fascism. Those who read holocaust or Ku Klux Klan subtexts into the books aren’t overstating the case one bit: Rowling’s stories are clear allegories for real world atrocities and intolerance. At its heart, this is a film about feeling powerless against a vast and insidious evil.

The pair’s silent understanding manages to make them appear both young and old at the same time, and conveys the comfort afforded by genuine friendship.

Not only is it nothing of the sort, it’s also the best acting I’ve seen yet from these two.įree of dialogue and free of the need to lock his lower jaw and come across all tortured, Daniel Radcliffe is suddenly, momentarily, very likeable. I urge all those who’ve dismissed this sequence as a pointless ‘will they won’t they moment’ to take another look. One very welcome addition to the original story does turns up in the form of a wordless scene between Radcliffe and Watson who, temporarily alone after Grint’s disappearing act, dance to a Nick Cave song playing on the radio. Understandably, a fair few things have been streamlined: Viktor Krum is absent from the wedding, Lupin doesn’t try to abandon his wife and child, Hedwig dies trying to protect Harry rather than as a casualty of war, there’s no talk of Fred and George’s pirate radio station, the details of Dumbledore’s troubled adolescence have most likely been shunted to the next film and Harry isn’t disguised with polyjuice at the wedding, or during the Godric’s Hollow visit, for obvious practicality reasons.Ī few elements have also been added that weren’t in the book, including a brief scene where Death Eaters storm the Hogwart’s Express in search of Undesirable No 1 (presumably to remind the audience where everyone else was while all that camping was going on).
