Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
| Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | 1.50% ** |

** If fees effective January 1, 2005 and changes to voluntary expense limitations effective February 1, 2005 had been in effect during the period, the annualized expense ratios and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Biotechnology
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 8,923,410 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (6,967,199) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 1,956,211 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 51,291,150 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $5,935,291 and $8,287,831, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 12,844 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 33,758 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 83,059 | 62,294 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 65,922 | 14,103 |
| | | $ 195,583 | $ 76,397 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 5,725 | |
Class T | 5,353 | |
Class B * | 31,194 | |
Class C * | 2,778 | |
| $ 45,050 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 26,657 | .52 * |
Class T | 48,629 | .72 * |
Class B | 46,988 | .57 * |
Class C | 26,421 | .40 * |
Institutional Class | 1,522 | .28 * |
| $ 150,217 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $25,299 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $532 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
Biotechnology
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitation will be changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 8,339 |
Class T | 1.75% | 24,530 |
Class B | 2.25% | 17,328 |
Class C | 2.25% | 2,827 |
| | $ 53,024 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $833 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Share Transactions.
Transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

Advisor Consumer Industries Fund
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 9,604,563 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,151,097) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 8,453,466 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 47,430,361 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $15,328,217 and $18,939,092, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 15,132 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 39,330 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 87,488 | 65,616 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 34,502 | 4,723 |
| | | $ 176,452 | $ 70,339 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 6,001 | |
Class T | 1,880 | |
Class B * | 19,240 | |
Class C * | 250 | |
| $ 27,371 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 25,105 | .41 * |
Class T | 34,842 | .44 * |
Class B | 38,000 | .43 * |
Class C | 12,392 | .36 * |
Institutional Class | 2,291 | .47 * |
| $ 112,630 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $9,641 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $709 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Consumer Industries
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitation changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 405 |
Class T | 1.75% | 2,821 |
Class B | 2.25% | 2,397 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 287 |
| | $ 5,910 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $8,149 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |
From net realized gain | | |
Class A | $ 428,544 | $ - |

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 15,181,727 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,660,302) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 13,521,425 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 92,067,844 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $84,237,211 and $38,956,551, respectively. The fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the fund's investment advisor.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 43,403 | |
Class T | 7,101 | |
Class B * | 32,194 | |
Class C * | 1,214 | |
| $ 83,912 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 36,255 | .33 * |
Class T | 38,824 | .31 * |
Class B | 34,208 | .35 * |
Class C | 18,074 | .30 * |
Institutional Class | 3,418 | .32 * |
| $ 130,779 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $41,269 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,254 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $21,042 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $59.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 12% and 15%, respectively of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value August 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value January 31, 2005 | Expenses Paid During Period * August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005 |

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Developing Communications
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Developing Communications Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Unrealized appreciation | $ 1,110,662 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,562,138) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (451,476) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 13,608,340 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $21,735,602 and $22,997,565, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 4,927 | $ 27 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 8,342 | 46 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 17,047 | 12,813 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 15,376 | 8,367 |
| | | $ 45,692 | $ 21,253 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Class A | $ 1,994 | |
Class T | 1,252 | |
Class B * | 8,342 | |
Class C * | 5,159 | |
| $ 16,747 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 9,147 | .46 * |
Class T | 13,242 | .79 * |
Class B | 10,006 | .59 * |
Class C | 6,811 | .44 * |
Institutional Class | 573 | .21 * |
| $ 39,779 | |
* Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,766 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,339 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitations will be changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C, and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 20,878 |
Class T | 1.75% | 23,246 |
Class B | 2.25% | 20,154 |
Class C | 2.25% | 16,020 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 2,203 |
| | $ 82,501 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $15,222 for the period.
7. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8. Share Transactions.
Transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,709,208 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (5,725,822) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (3,016,614) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 44,492,038 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,808,837 and $33,507,880, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 10,154 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 36,808 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 43,617 | 32,713 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 56,515 | 7,244 |
| | | $ 147,094 | $ 39,957 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Class C * | 1,790 | |
| $ 37,814 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 18,617 | .46 * |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $15,853 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,050 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitation will be changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 7,817 |
Class T | 1.75% | 18,912 |
Class B | 2.25% | 14,552 |
Class C | 2.25% | 9,054 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 44 |
| | $ 50,379 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $13,142 for the period. In addition through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $298.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Share Transactions.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 105,509,209 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (3,748,410) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 101,760,799 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 370,810,444 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $152,639,024 and $201,984,529, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 76,812 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 364,094 | 40 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 889,872 | 667,404 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 426,453 | 21,790 |
| | | $ 1,757,231 | $ 689,234 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $155,885 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $20,362 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collat-eral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Financial Services
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $56,527 for the period
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value August 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value January 31, 2005 | Expenses Paid During Period* August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005 |

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
| Annualized Expense Ratio |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 133,424,809 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (48,830,552) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 84,594,257 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 662,273,408 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $142,363,716 and $225,196,379, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 132,760 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 600,784 | 1,114 |

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 219,046 | .41 * |
Class T | 491,400 | .41 * |
Class B | 571,585 | .41 * |
Class C | 216,033 | .34 * |
Institutional Class | 24,725 | .25 * |
| $ 1,522,789 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $70,631 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,196 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $81,701 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 186 | |
Health Care
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Share Transactions.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value August 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value January 31, 2005 | Expenses Paid During Period * August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005 |

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
| Annualized Expense Ratio |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 93,147,998 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,090,825) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 92,057,173 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 322,641,742 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $202,399,441 and $208,323,121, respectively. The Fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the Fund's investment advisor.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 62,818 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 525,704 | 3,634 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 362,271 | 271,703 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 213,258 | 55,538 |
| | | $ 1,164,051 | $ 330,875 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 88,001 | .35 * |
Class T | 303,465 | .29 * |
Class B | 119,433 | .33 * |
Class C | 61,965 | .29 * |
Institutional Class | 6,393 | .24 * |
| $ 579,257 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $94,958 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,138 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 1,718,800 | 2.40% | - | $ 572 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $69,726 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value August 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value January 31, 2005 | Expenses Paid During Period* August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005 |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 77,553,077 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (98,426,626) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (20,873,549) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 958,384,772 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $626,251,449 and $733,067,867, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 155,225 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 888,166 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 1,713,521 | 1,285,141 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 609,516 | 33,997 |
| | | $ 3,366,428 | $ 1,319,138 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 16,041 | |
Class T | 18,856 | |
Class B* | 461,044 | |
Class C* | 7,687 | |
| $ 503,628 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 338,441 | .55* |
Class T | 854,300 | .48* |
Class B | 978,278 | .57* |
Class C | 300,428 | .49* |
Institutional Class | 15,413 | .28* |
| $ 2,486,860 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $80,911 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $93,855 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collat-eral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Technology
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $405,330 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 12% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 41,802,796 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (13,566,144) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 28,236,652 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 175,441,304 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $27,081,324 and $45,883,428, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 29,740 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 139,084 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 435,622 | 326,716 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 182,573 | 7,572 |
| | | $ 787,019 | $ 334,288 |

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 6,352 | |
Class T | 4,662 | |
Class B * | 140,777 | |
Class C * | 780 | |
| $ 152,571 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 58,349 | .49 * |
Class T | 147,521 | .53 * |
Class B | 213,359 | .49 * |
Class C | 73,810 | .40 * |
Institutional Class | 3,957 | .34 * |
| $ 496,996 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $14,365 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $718 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Telecommunications & Utilities Growth
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $23,008 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 10% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Biotechnology
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 8,923,410 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (6,967,199) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 1,956,211 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 51,291,150 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $5,935,291 and $8,287,831, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 12,844 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 33,758 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 83,059 | 62,294 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 65,922 | 14,103 |
| | | $ 195,583 | $ 76,397 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Sales Load - continued
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 5,725 | |
Class T | 5,353 | |
Class B * | 31,194 | |
Class C * | 2,778 | |
| $ 45,050 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 26,657 | .52 * |
Class T | 48,629 | .72 * |
Class B | 46,988 | .57 * |
Class C | 26,421 | .40 * |
Institutional Class | 1,522 | .28 * |
| $ 150,217 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $25,299 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $532 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
Biotechnology
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitation will be changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 8,339 |
Class T | 1.75% | 24,530 |
Class B | 2.25% | 17,328 |
Class C | 2.25% | 2,827 |
| | $ 53,024 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $833 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Share Transactions.
Transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
| Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | 1.50%** |

For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Consumer Industries
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 9,604,563 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,151,097) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 8,453,466 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 47,430,361 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $15,328,217 and $18,939,092, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 15,132 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 39,330 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 87,488 | 65,616 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 34,502 | 4,723 |
| | | $ 176,452 | $ 70,339 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 6,001 | |
Class T | 1,880 | |
Class B * | 19,240 | |
Class C * | 250 | |
| $ 27,371 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 25,105 | .41 * |
Class T | 34,842 | .44 * |
Class B | 38,000 | .43 * |
Class C | 12,392 | .36 * |
Institutional Class | 2,291 | .47 * |
| $ 112,630 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $9,641 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $709 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Consumer Industries
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitation changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 405 |
Class T | 1.75% | 2,821 |
Class B | 2.25% | 2,397 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 287 |
| | $ 5,910 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $8,149 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 15,181,727 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,660,302) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 13,521,425 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 92,067,844 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $84,237,211 and $38,956,551, respectively. The fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the fund's investment advisor.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 27,620 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 63,294 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 96,856 | 72,642 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 59,445 | 21,925 |
| | | $ 247,215 | $ 94,567 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 43,403 | |
Class T | 7,101 | |
Class B * | 32,194 | |
Class C * | 1,214 | |
| $ 83,912 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 36,255 | .33 * |
Class T | 38,824 | .31 * |
Class B | 34,208 | .35 * |
Class C | 18,074 | .30 * |
Institutional Class | 3,418 | .32 * |
| $ 130,779 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $41,269 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,254 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Cyclical Industries
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $21,042 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $59.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 12% and 15%, respectively of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical A | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,018.90 | $ 6.36** |
A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
| Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | 1.50%** |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Developing Communications Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 1,110,662 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,562,138) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (451,476) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 13,608,340 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $21,735,602 and $22,997,565, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 4,927 | $ 27 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 8,342 | 46 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 17,047 | 12,813 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 15,376 | 8,367 |
| | | $ 45,692 | $ 21,253 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 1,994 | |
Class T | 1,252 | |
Class B * | 8,342 | |
Class C * | 5,159 | |
| $ 16,747 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 9,147 | .46 * |
Class T | 13,242 | .79 * |
Class B | 10,006 | .59 * |
Class C | 6,811 | .44 * |
Institutional Class | 573 | .21 * |
| $ 39,779 | |
* Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,766 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,339 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitations will be changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C, and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 20,878 |
Class T | 1.75% | 23,246 |
Class B | 2.25% | 20,154 |
Class C | 2.25% | 16,020 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 2,203 |
| | $ 82,501 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $15,222 for the period.
7. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
8. Share Transactions.
Transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,709,208 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (5,725,822) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (3,016,614) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 44,492,038 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,808,837 and $33,507,880, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 10,154 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 36,808 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 43,617 | 32,713 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 56,515 | 7,244 |
| | | $ 147,094 | $ 39,957 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 2,498 | |
Class T | 2,911 | |
Class B * | 30,615 | |
Class C * | 1,790 | |
| $ 37,814 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 18,617 | .46 * |
Class T | 38,241 | .52 * |
Class B | 26,152 | .60 * |
Class C | 23,998 | .42 * |
Institutional Class | 941 | .28 * |
| $ 107,949 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $15,853 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,050 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitation will be changed to 1.40%, 1.65%, 2.15%, 2.15% and 1.15% for Class A, T, B, C and Institutional, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 7,817 |
Class T | 1.75% | 18,912 |
Class B | 2.25% | 14,552 |
Class C | 2.25% | 9,054 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | 44 |
| | $ 50,379 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $13,142 for the period. In addition through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $298.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Share Transactions.
Transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 105,509,209 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (3,748,410) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 101,760,799 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 370,810,444 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $152,639,024 and $201,984,529, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 76,812 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 364,094 | 40 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 889,872 | 667,404 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 426,453 | 21,790 |
| | | $ 1,757,231 | $ 689,234 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 12,036 | |
Class T | 5,219 | |
Class B* | 208,288 | |
Class C* | 1,936 | |
| $ 227,479 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 111,066 | .36* |
Class T | 245,740 | .34* |
Class B | 316,792 | .36* |
Class C | 129,546 | .30* |
Institutional Class | 14,430 | .22* |
| $ 817,574 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $155,885 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $20,362 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collat-eral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Financial Services
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $56,527 for the period
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

Advisor Health Care Fund
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 133,424,809 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (48,830,552) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 84,594,257 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 662,273,408 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
Health Care
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $142,363,716 and $225,196,379, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 132,760 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 600,784 | 1,114 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 1,385,306 | 1,038,979 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 630,755 | 41,020 |
| | | $ 2,749,605 | $ 1,081,113 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 22,160 | |
Class T | 14,871 | |
Class B* | 388,873 | |
Class C* | 15,862 | |
| $ 441,766 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 219,046 | .41 * |
Class T | 491,400 | .41 * |
Class B | 571,585 | .41 * |
Class C | 216,033 | .34 * |
Institutional Class | 24,725 | .25 * |
| $ 1,522,789 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $70,631 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,196 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $81,701 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 186 | |
Health Care
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Share Transactions.
Transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2005 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 93,147,998 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,090,825) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 92,057,173 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 322,641,742 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $202,399,441 and $208,323,121, respectively. The Fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the Fund's investment advisor.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 62,818 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 525,704 | 3,634 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 362,271 | 271,703 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 213,258 | 55,538 |
| | | $ 1,164,051 | $ 330,875 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Class T | 17,513 | |
Class B * | 83,152 | |
Class C * | 3,349 | |
| $ 136,709 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 88,001 | .35 * |
Class T | 303,465 | .29 * |
Class B | 119,433 | .33 * |
Class C | 61,965 | .29 * |
Institutional Class | 6,393 | .24 * |
| $ 579,257 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $94,958 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,138 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 1,718,800 | 2.40% | - | $ 572 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Natural Resources
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $69,726 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class. G Amount represents less than $.01 per share. |

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 77,553,077 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (98,426,626) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (20,873,549) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 958,384,772 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $626,251,449 and $733,067,867, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 155,225 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 888,166 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 1,713,521 | 1,285,141 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 609,516 | 33,997 |
| | | $ 3,366,428 | $ 1,319,138 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 16,041 | |
Class T | 18,856 | |
Class B* | 461,044 | |
Class C* | 7,687 | |
| $ 503,628 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 338,441 | .55* |
Class T | 854,300 | .48* |
Class B | 978,278 | .57* |
Class C | 300,428 | .49* |
Institutional Class | 15,413 | .28* |
| $ 2,486,860 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $80,911 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $93,855 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collat-eral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Technology
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $405,330 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 12% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value August 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value January 31, 2005 | Expenses Paid During Period * August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005 |

Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 41,802,796 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (13,566,144) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 28,236,652 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 175,441,304 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $27,081,324 and $45,883,428, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 29,740 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 139,084 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 435,622 | 326,716 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 182,573 | 7,572 |
| | | $ 787,019 | $ 334,288 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 6,352 | |
Class T | 4,662 | |
Class B * | 140,777 | |
Class C * | 780 | |
| $ 152,571 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 58,349 | .49 * |
Class T | 147,521 | .53 * |
Class B | 213,359 | .49 * |
Class C | 73,810 | .40 * |
Institutional Class | 3,957 | .34 * |
| $ 496,996 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $14,365 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $718 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Telecommunications & Utilities Growth
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $23,008 for the period.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 10% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
| Six months ended January 31, 2005 | Year ended July 31, 2004 |
From net investment income | | |
Class A | $ 379,843 | $ 201,967 |

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 15,355,909 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,364,848) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 13,991,061 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 109,030,478 | |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $79,625,998 and $48,128,263, respectively.
Semiannual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 37,349 | $ 1,651 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 91,380 | 3,166 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 83,313 | 64,247 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 94,196 | 45,427 |
| | | $ 306,238 | $ 114,491 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 47,693 |
Class T | 11,064 |
Class B* | 18,533 |
Class C* | 1,609 |
| $ 78,899 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 48,736 | .33* |
Class T | 76,049 | .42* |
Class B | 34,393 | .41* |
Class C | 34,596 | .37* |
Institutional Class | 2,713 | .18* |
| $ 196,487 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $51,855 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $3,689 for the period.
Semiannual Report
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $17,777 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $241.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 15% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund as of January 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 15,355,909 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,364,848) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 13,991,061 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 109,030,478 | |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $79,625,998 and $48,128,263, respectively.
Semiannual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 37,349 | $ 1,651 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 91,380 | 3,166 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 83,313 | 64,247 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 94,196 | 45,427 |
| | | $ 306,238 | $ 114,491 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 47,693 |
Class T | 11,064 |
Class B* | 18,533 |
Class C* | 1,609 |
| $ 78,899 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 48,736 | .33* |
Class T | 76,049 | .42* |
Class B | 34,393 | .41* |
Class C | 34,596 | .37* |
Institutional Class | 2,713 | .18* |
| $ 196,487 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $51,855 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $3,689 for the period.
Semiannual Report
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $17,777 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $241.
8. Other.
The fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 15% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund as of January 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
