I capped off Thanksgiving weekend with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. What an excellent installment in the series. The movies have gotten better and better since Prisoner of Azkaban and this one has an epic feel to it. Obviously things are very dark as Deathly Hallows opens with Harry, Ron and Hermione [...]
