Hari da Puttar ke Maut Ke Tohfe - HP7

After a long hiatus I am back on movie watching spree, and it's a good time to be back on track.
You know what else is good? the latest Harry Potter offering, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
I just loved it, it has everything, Friendship, Romance, Jealousy, Betrayal, Magic...all that we EXPECT from Harry Potter series. Being a HP movie fan and not reading a novel has it's own pros and cons.
Pros that you actually do not know what would be offered in the movie.
Cons - sometimes you just do not understand what is going on in the movie.
So when it comes to watching HP movie, I have very limited company...However the ever reliable Tushar came to rescue and we booked the ticket for Sunday evening show.

HP7 is first part of last book so in a way it's beginning of an end, though it's a real treat for it's hard core fans, first timers please stay away from this. With multiple references to previous edition, this one is almost impossible to digest if you are watching HP for the first time. With no one to trust and nowhere to go, our 3 protagonists Harry, Ron and Harmoine are completely on theie own. Enemy is getting stronger and our hero is still trying to get out of the shock of Dumbeldore's death. It's too hard for these 3 teens to figure out the way to handle such a strong enemy, this struggle is so evident in this part.
This is undoubtedly the darkest part yet but what is striking is the amount of magic involved in this one [that was completely lacking in last 2 releases] so snakes appearing from nowhere and magic wounds getting broken, flying scooter ride with hagrid this one is surely a ride to enjoy.
One more new emotion added is the ROMANCE between Harry and Ginny Weasly however that is not as charming as the one between Ron and Harmoine with a pinch of jealousy as Harmoine and Harry gets upclose and cozy.
At the end; as always HP is tale of friendship and sure it is. Harry finds (and then loses) Dobby [a house elf seen in part2] in this part. Ron and Harry fight and then come together in this part. It's so heart warming to see these 3 actually growing in front of you both as characters and actors. All 3 did good job, special effects top notch. This part is particularly to set the mood for ultimate finale and Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 1 rightly do so. Can't wait for July.

P.S Harry Potter and Maut Ke Tohfe is Hindi Title for dubbed version.
P.S.2: I have seen the English version and will watch Hindi version to catch some missing points.
