Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I aka how nice it is to have a Harry Potter film which is not all action

I have finally managed to get my Harry Potter review to an almost coherent state (although I suppose that’s debatable ;-P it is still way too long *sigh*).

The New Moon publicity machine

My time management leaves a bit to be desired at the moment - hence the almost total absence of posts :-/
