Three children struggle to vanquish ultimate evil, armed only with oblique, seemingly useless clues and tools. The payday split serves this half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows well. Shorn of its triumphalist twin, this Hallow plays like a defeatist mood piece, concerned only with the relentless assurance that these kids are toothless and alone. The break also allows extra-curricular detailing to creep in. Depressed waifs cling to each other while a catchy dirge plays, and the full impact of Voldemort's ethnic cleanse agenda is teased through a series of ruined postcard images.
