				Plot Summary: 
				Lord Voldemort is tightening his grip on the wizarding and 
				Muggle worlds, with Hogwarts no longer a safe haven. Harry 
				suspects danger within the school, but Dumbledore focuses on 
				preparing him for the final battle and recruits former Potions 
				master Horace Slughorn for vital information about Voldemort's 
				past. Meanwhile, teenage romance blossoms among the students as 
				a darker path unfolds for one, leading to tragedy that may 
				forever change Hogwarts. Dad's Preview: 
				The time has come to usher in the return of Lord Voldemort. 
				There is also a lot of time spent finding Horcruxes, which are 
				essentially parts of Tom Riddle's soul. The pressure on Harry 
				has become almost overwhelming, with every thought and 
				conversation having more weight to it. The film's cinematography 
				is wonderful, and it perfectly sets up the final, bleak chapter, 
				coming in the final Deathly Hallows films.
