Harry Potter review

The film has received a mixed reception because of franchise 'fatigue', but the overall tone is a positive from critics as a stand alone film, and it has yet an even darker setting for the cast. However audiences will have to wait for part 2 in the summer of 2011 to see the final Harry Potter ending.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is set to break box office records in North America in the fantasy genre, with film industry execs estimating takings could be over $100 million at the US box office in 3 days.
