Wanted and on the run, the trio - with only Dumbledore's bequests of a children's book, a golden snitch, and a mysterious light-catcher to guide them - go in search of their first horcrux (Slytherin's locket). With Professor Dumbledore dead and the Ministry of Magic under Lord Voldemort's control at the start of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1, Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe), Ron ( Rupert Grint), and Hermione ( Emma Watson) embark on a dangerous mission to search for five missing horcruxes (fragments of Voldemort's soul). Despite the amped-up angst and violence, the characters prove again and again that unconditional friendship, loyalty, and love can survive even the most harrowing of threats.
Expect a bit of sensuality, including lots of longing looks and protective embraces between Ron and Hermione, a passionate snog between Harry and Ginny, and a scene of "ghost" versions of Harry and Hermione tormenting Ron with a sensual kiss (they appear to be nude, and you can see their torsos, but it's quite blurry/misty). In one startling "jump" scene, Voldemort's giant killer snake bursts out of an old woman's body there's also a particularly disturbing torture scene in which a major character is branded with an insult.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and their friends are bloodied, injured, and cursed. It has the highest body count of any Potter film, including the deaths of several recurring characters - some of which are particularly emotional and upsetting. Parents need to know that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the second-to-last installment in the epic Harry Potter movie saga is the darkest, most intense yet.
