In that initial review in 2001, I admitted that I entered the cinema prejudiced by the hype and emerged having greatly enjoyed the film and admiring the skill that had gone into the making. "It's complicated," replies a desperately tired, unwashed Harry, who rapidly dispenses with anything that might be described as a synopsis of preceding events, leaving people who don't know their Horcruxes from their Dementors to muggle through. There is a tentative attempt at the beginning of The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 at clarification, when a goblin asks: "How did you come by the sword?", referring to the Excalibur-like weapon retrieved from the bottom of a lake in The Deathly Hallows: Part 1. A generation of readers and filmgoers has grown up with the bespectacled, wand-waving wizard and saviour of the world from Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, and the appearance of the final film coincides with the birth of a fourth Beckham child, suitably given the middle name "Seven" which could as easily be the number of books in the sacred text as her father's former Man Utd shirt. Seven Rowling novels have been turned into eight films which take around 20 hours to see (or 36 hours if you watch the DVD extras), and the phenomenon is infinitely greater.
