SAY WHUT?!
Like the book, Deathly Hallows is set away from Hogwarts, with Harry, Ron, and Hermione on a mission to destroy the disparate parts of Voldemort’s soul. As they find themselves banished in the wilderness, you can’t help but miss that other woodsy, pubescent film trio: Bella, Edward, and Jacob. The Twilight books aren’t nearly as good, but the movies are a giddy, guilty pleasure, with all the goofy line readings and shirtless werewolves. Deathly Hallows includes a brief love triangle as well, but the screenplay is too comatose to pull off sexy. When Hermione says, “Take it off! I said take it off now!” she’s only referring to a Horcrux around Harry’s neck. And when they share a dance, both actors seem tired and rumpled. Are they headed for college or retirement? We’ll find out in part two—unless there’s a part three.
