Along with the character development and dark theme, The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Deathly Hallows differ in story complexity. In the first movie, what you see is what you get. The story is geared towards children so, there is very little symbolism or illusion. Most questions that a viewer might have while watching are answered by the end of the movie. In contrast, the last movie is full of symbolism and deeper meaning. This requires more critical thinking to fully understand which would be difficult for young children to do. For example, in the last movie the death of professor Snape reveals more complexity in his actions throughout the entire story. The audience sees why he killed Dumbledore but its takes more critical thinking to fully understand
