Harry Potter v/s Twilight... which one's more superior in terms of content? Whose characters are more popular? The ongoing debate has only gained momentum in the wake of the release of Harry Potter's most awaited seventh and final instalment. If you loved either of the franchises, or both or neither and failed to wonder why they are even being compared, watch out the latest Potter film to get the answer.
Harry Potter is no longer just the bespectacled kiddo wizard he used to be. He looks suave, acts mature and turns on that 'brooding sex appeal' good enough to compete with heartthrob Edward Cullen! Eat your heart out Robert Pattinson, for your Goblet of Fire co-star establishes himself as the new sex symbol in the Deathly Hallows. Radcliffe thinks fast, moves faster and does it all in style!
Way better than the ever mumbling Bella (Kristen Stewart) is teen sensation Emma Watson who brilliantly reprises her character. As Hermione, Watson continues to juggle between protecting Potter and hiding her hesitance to reveal her love for Ron. Like Bella, Hermione too will have to choose between Ron and Harry, tough choice to make.
Playing a possessive boyfriend is Ron (Rupert) who gets jealousy pangs throughout as he finally concludes and accepts his romantic affection for Hermione. But will the two bantering 'best friends' finally kiss and makeup in the final chapter?
With Dumbledore dead, the dark forces seize the control of the ministry of magic and Hogwarts, making the Wizarding world a dangerous place to survive.
Harry Potter will now have to do the impossible. Potter will have to kill the mighty Lord Voldemort which can only happen once he destroys his Horcruxes—the keys to Voldemort's immortality.
Harry, Hermione and Ron will have to leave their families and homes to set out on the perilous mission. The film then captures the trio's quest for the horcruxes, while they play hide n seek with death and Voldemort's dark forces. While looking for the horcruxes, Harry uncovers an old tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows and if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.
How Harry Potter, 'the chosen one' goes about doing what he is destined to do is what the film is all about... the beginning of the final chapter of Rowling's best selling books, Harry's ultimate fight with Voldemort.
