Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

  • Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
  • IMDB: link

There is a point not too far into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 where Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) informs Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) that everything going on, the sacrifices being made, the world falling into darkness, isn’t only about him. This is a sentiment backed-up by the rest of the film. Harry might still be the most important character, but he’s certainly not the only character.

There are several telling differences here. The first scene in the film doesn’t involve Harry at all, but Hermoine (Emma Watson) and the difficult choice she makes with respect to her “Muggle” parents (Ian Kelly, Michelle Fairley). If this dramatic opening isn’t enough to clue you in we’re in for a far darker Harry Potter then scene directly following will leave you no doubt.

She had me at “Conjunction Junction.” Last night’s episode of Glee, appropriately entitled “The Substitute” found Sue (Jane Lynch) temporarily in charge of the school and Will (Matthew Morrison) home sick in bed. Meanwhile, the Glee Club found themselves a new friend in free-spirit Holly Holliday (Gwyneth Paltrow) who earns the club’s trust by catering to their choice of music (as well as offering them everything from free tacos to marijuana).

Doctor Who – The Complete Fifth Series

With the departure of David Tennant in “The End of Time Part 2” a new Doctor (Matt Smith) takes control of the series.

The season starts strong with “Eleventh Hour” which introduces us to the Doctor’s new companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), and ends with a great two-parter (“The Pandorica Opens” and “The Big Bang“) involving the end of the universe, but it does have some ups (“Amy’s Choice,” “Vincent and the Doctor“) and downs (“Victory of the Daleks“) over the course of the season. I also thought the other two-parters from this season (apart from the finale) with the Silurians and the return of the Weeping Angels weren’t as strong as the episodes which introduced the characters.
