In essence the story still follows the central threesome – Harry, Ron and Hermione – who have been the heart and soul of the film since the first film.

One of the early opening sequences sets the tone for the film – and makes good use of the 3D – as the gang infiltrate Gringott’s wizarding bank in the search for one of the Horcruxes. Harry and his pals have to try and destroy the remaining Horcurxes (they destroyed three in the first film)…essentially the parts of Voldemort’s soul that had been scattered around the wizarding world.
