10 Reasons To See ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is officially out! We’ve been waiting all week to explode with excitement over the flick, which we were lucky enough to catch a screening of earlier this week. So: should you see it yourself? Yes, duh! Need more convincing? Then here are 10 reasons why your weekend would be better with a little Harry in it.

1. Rhys Ifans joins the cast as Luna Lovegood’s wacky dad. And we get to see inside their home, which looked to us like a set decorator’s dream job.

2. There’s a new gang of hot bad guys. They’re rough, dirty and mean. Just how we (sometimes) like ‘em.

3. There are a few dark, gothy Deatheater scenes that add a new level of intrigue to the series. Also: snakes!

4. Against all odds, theres a car chase! Like an outright Fast and the Furious style car dodging and crashing bonanza. In case you were wondering, Michael Bay is a muggle.

5. We get to see Harry shirtless! Several times over, all at once. Confused? It will all become wonderfully clear in Act 1.

6. There’s a super cozy-looking magical tent that our main characters spend a lot of time inside. It made us nostalgic for childhood sleepovers and pillow forts.

7. We get to see a fancy party where everyone gets all dressed up. Harry wears a vest and Hermione looks stunning in red. Plus there’s dancing!

8. So many Weasley boys! And we love them all. Seriously, this leg of the series is a red hair fetishist’s wet dream.

9. Hermione is extra-Hermioney in the flick. We love watching smart girls on screen. And Miss Granger just keeps getting more and more likable.

10. There’s a super steamy naked makeout session. But we won’t tell you who’s involved!
