Semiannual Report

Performance Overview

Unfortunately for most investors, little changed with respect to the flagging performance of stocks during the six-month period ending January 31, 2002. With the exception of most undervalued small-and medium-sized companies that had been largely overlooked during the bull market cycle of the late 1990s, stocks generally continued their recent trend of delivering negative returns.

There were a few major reasons for poor stock performance. The slumping U.S. economy squeezed corporate profits in many industries. The low point came in the third quarter of 2001, as quarterly gross domestic product fell into negative territory for the first time since 1993, and year-over-year corporate profits fell to new lows. Furthermore, a lack of promising fourth-quarter corporate earnings reports failed to convince investors that the near-term outlook for the economy and corporate earnings was any brighter. In its ongoing attempt to provide a stimulus to the economy, the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy-making committee cut interest rates five successive times during the period. This aggressive easing brought interest rates down to their lowest levels in decades, but by period end the Fed's efforts still had little positive impact on the economy, or on stock performance.

Elsewhere, a handful of high-profile companies surprisingly fell into bankruptcy, most notably energy trading and pipeline firm Enron, whose stock price tumbled from nearly $90 per share in August to less than $1 per share in December. Enron's collapse was driven by the company's lack of adherence to up-front accounting principles, which served to shroud the company's off-balance-sheet debt and inflate its earnings. Enron's accounting was called into question by investors, employees, regulators and legislators. Perhaps most significantly, the scandal heightened concerns about the accounting of other companies.

Another event that influenced stock prices was the terrorist attacks on September 11, which destroyed several World Trade Center buildings in New York City and damaged the Pentagon. These tragic events severely reduced commerce in several industries during the weeks following the attacks, including retail, media, lodging and air transportation. Companies in these industries saw a substantial drop in revenues and earnings, which reduced their stock valuations considerably. By the end of the period, some of these stocks had rebounded back to levels seen just prior to September 11 as investors swooped in to pick up bargains. Many, however, still remained lower.

These three negative factors - the slowing economy, the Enron collapse and the slowdown in commerce following the terrorist attacks - were reflected in the returns of major equity indexes. The blue chips' Dow Jones Industrial Average SM declined 4.84%, while the large-cap Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index fell 6.01% and 4.44%, respectively. Growth stocks were punished for their higher valuations and lagged the performance of value stocks across the board. One of the equity markets' few bright spots was the small-cap value category, which returned 4.85% as measured by the Russell 2000® Value Index. Mid-cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Value Index, eked out a modest 0.49% gain.

Turning to individual sector performance for the six-month period, consumer industries was the only sector that generated a positive return. Increased demand for stocks of companies that produced consumer-staple products - including nondurables, food and beverages - or those likely to maintain their earnings growth rates in a poor economic environment helped boost stock prices.

Health care stocks also outperformed the broader market, but their negative returns - as reflected by the 2.62% decline for the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index - generally proved disappointing, since this defensive-minded sector typically shines during periods of economic uncertainty. Several pharmaceutical stocks struggled with the expiration of patents on their most profitable drugs and scrambled to replace market share lost to generic-drug producers. Investors also remained cool to biotechnology stocks, given their high valuations and overall low current earnings visibility.

A number of factors hurt financial services stocks. Growing credit concerns caused a big negative impact on banks with high-risk, sub-prime lending operations. Elsewhere, the terrorist attacks of September 11 had wide-ranging effects. Stock markets closed for nearly a week, reducing trading volume and drying up underwriting activity for investment banks and brokerages. Facing large loss claims, stocks of insurance companies were punished severely following the attacks.

Investors also reacted unfavorably to cyclical industries stocks, given their economic sensitivity and the fallout from September 11. The airlines were the most visibly damaged stock group due to the sharp decline in travel, particularly higher-margin business travel, as companies cut costs in the face of an economic downturn. Bright spots included homebuilding stocks and defense contractors, where demand remained strong.

Technology stocks underwent an extremely volatile period. The sector was the worst performing group in the first half of the six-month period, as investors reacted negatively to the sector's high valuations. But tech stocks rallied during the final three months when investors grew optimistic about stabilization in the economy and flocked to semiconductor and blue-chip personal computer stocks.

Among the hardest hit sectors during the past six months was natural resources. Supplies of oil and natural gas rose, causing a price decline for these commodities and, ultimately, for the corporate earnings of many energy producers. In the fourth quarter of 2001, expectations for an economic recovery in 2002 boosted the stocks of energy services and equipment stocks, as well as cyclical non-energy industries such as forest and paper, aluminum and other non-precious metals.

Telecommunication services and utilities were by far the worst-performing sectors during the past six months. As the period progressed, increased optimism about the economy caused investors to shy away from defensive-oriented regional Bell operating companies, as well as alternative carriers. Wireless stocks fell, in large part due to slowing subscriber growth, heavy competition and rich valuations. The Enron episode sent ripples throughout the utilities sector. The stocks of companies with extensive electricity or natural gas trading operations came under selling pressure, and that concern was compounded by existing questions about slowing power demand and increasing plant capacity.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Biotechnology Fund - Class A on December 27, 2000, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have been $5,975 - a 40.25% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $8,627 - a 13.73% decrease. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index, it would have been $8,629 - a 13.71% decrease.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Brian Younger, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Brian?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares declined 10.58%, 10.61%, 10.78% and 10.78%, respectively. These returns underperformed the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - which declined 2.62%. The fund also trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares declined 28.76%, 28.99%, 29.25% and 29.25%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs index fell 5.69% and the S&P 500 index dropped 16.15%.

Q. Why did the fund underperform the Goldman Sachs index during the past six months?

A. Amid an uncertain economy, risk-averse investors generally weren't willing to reward the future growth prospects of biotechnology stocks, causing them to underperform other health care industries included in the index that historically have generated more stable earnings growth.

Q. What other factors influenced performance?

A. A number of events within the biotech industry put pressure on stocks late in the fourth quarter. First, there were four major corporate mergers announced that caused concern with the investment community: Amgen acquired Immunex; Millennium Pharmaceuticals acquired COR Therapeutics; MedImmune purchased Aviron; and Cephalon bought Group Lafon. Additionally, investors responded unfavorably to two companies, Human Genome Sciences and Protein Design Labs, that presented questionable clinical-trial data on some high-profile drugs - Repifermin, for wound healing, and Remitogen for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, respectively. Finally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it wouldn't consider an application by ImClone Systems for approval of its promising new colorectal cancer drug, Erbitux.

Q. Can you elaborate on why the FDA's decision on ImClone's cancer drug application had such a broad impact on the industry?

A. In my opinion, the market severely overreacted. Biotechnology stocks have a history of high volatility based on news flow, and the recent ImClone case is a perfect example. Unfortunately, when these stories break, investors tend to react in similar fashion to the entire industry. What I believed was overlooked was that the FDA's decision didn't speak to the clinical effectiveness of Erbitux. Reflecting its potential, pharmaceutical giant Bristol-Myers Squibb invested $2 billion to take part in the future profits of the drug earlier in the period, sending ImClone's stock to new highs. Had Erbitux's application been accepted, it was widely believed that the drug would have been approved in mid-2002. But now the drug may not be on the market until 2003. Investors may have been concerned that this delay could erode the drug's market exclusivity, allowing competitors with similar drugs to potentially steal market share.

Q. What holdings were top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Gilead Sciences, the fund's top performer, benefited when initial sales for its recently launched HIV drug treatment, Viread, exceeded expectations. Investors also responded favorably to IDEC Pharmaceuticals, because the company had solid product revenues and positive earnings. In terms of disappointments, our large positions in Millennium and Human Genome Sciences held back the fund's return. These companies had products in the earlier stages of clinical trials and had yet to turn a profit. As such, risk-averse investors generally punished them more than better-established, profitable companies. But there were exceptions. Amgen was hurt by skepticism about the price it paid to acquire Immunex.

Q. What's your outlook, Brian?

A. I'm optimistic that investors will begin to recognize the improving fundamentals of biotech companies and react less impulsively to the group when individual companies face short-term obstacles. More companies are turning a profit or are close to turning a profit than ever before, corporate balance sheets have never been stronger, the recent flurry of merger activity has shown that the industry is becoming mature enough to execute acquisitions, and companies increasingly are developing the capability to create and market their own products.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 $32,482 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

You can compare Class A shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 268 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund - Class A on September 3, 1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $17,535 - a 75.35% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index, it would have grown to $18,644 - an 86.44% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.


Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $17,873 - a 78.73% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index, it would have grown to $18,644 - an 86.44% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.


Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with John Porter, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, John?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -1.83%, -1.91%, -2.16% and -2.16%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 268 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - returned 1.09%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -3.97%, -4.20%, -4.69% and -4.68%, respectively, compared with returns of -1.50% for the Goldman Sachs index and -16.15% for the S&P 500.

Q. Why did the fund underperform the Goldman Sachs index?

A. Perhaps by being a bit too cautious. There have been a lot of pressure points on the American consumer over the past six months. With the economy and job market both weakening, consumer balance sheets were showing a good deal of debt, but consumers really weren't slowing their spending. I saw this as reason for concern and responded by adopting a cautious positioning, de-emphasizing consumer discretionary stocks and taking a more favorable view of consumer staples, where I saw better fundamental trends and more attractive valuations. That strategy worked pretty well until mid-fall, when investor sentiment changed course in the aftermath of September 11. The market was flooded with new liquidity from interest rate cuts and the prospects of an economic stimulus package, and investors began bidding up the consumer discretionary segment in anticipation of an economic recovery. Since the fund was underweighted in that segment compared with the Goldman Sachs index, it did not get the same lift. So it was well-positioned for the first half of the period, but not so well thereafter, which is generally why the fund underperformed the benchmark.

Q. How did you deal with these unusual events in the market?

A. My immediate reaction after 9/11 was to become even more cautious. There were a few retail and media stocks that I had been optimistic about prior to the attacks, even though I was underweighting the consumer discretionary sector as a whole. After 9/11, I pared back some of those positions. It soon became apparent, however, that the market was rallying around consumer discretionaries, so I bought back some of the names I'd sold. This was a short-term strategy change, based mainly on the market's optimistic reaction to external influences; it does not reflect my still-cautious view of this part of the industry over the longer term.

Q. What stocks did the most to help performance during the period?

A. The two largest contributors were Gillette and Procter & Gamble, both household names in the staples arena, which the market supported quite well. Both stocks also benefited from market enthusiasm about more realistic corporate growth expectations from their new CEOs. Philip Morris, another consumer staples name, also did well. Even with a cautious view toward consumer discretionary names, I found value in some retail-oriented stocks. Lowe's, for example, the home improvement company, did well on the basis of market expansion and same-store sales growth. Circuit City, which I bought after 9/11, benefited from overall resilience in the consumer electronics segment and had a nice run late in the year.

Q. Which stocks disappointed in their performance?

A. The biggest detractor was Kmart, the discount retailer, which fell quickly out of favor during the period and eventually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. I sold this stock from the portfolio. Some of the media stocks I bought as value plays did not perform as well as I'd hoped. As the economy continued to soften, earnings outlooks at some of these companies - Viacom and Clear Channel, for example - fell more than expected, and the stocks did not sustain the valuation support I thought they had. Disappointing earnings forecasts also were responsible for poorer-than-expected performances from apparel retailers such as Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch.

Q. What's your near-term outlook, John?

A. My view hasn't changed that much. While the market appears to be pricing an economic recovery into the consumer discretionary segment, I remain skeptical. The job market is still weak. Consumer balance sheets are still highly leveraged. So I'm not very inspired by the fundamental outlook for discretionary-oriented consumer names, and when I look at their valuations, I'm even less inspired. Consumer staples still look like a better place to invest, so that is the positioning I'll likely maintain going forward.

Consumer Industries

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $39,695 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 their 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.

Additional information regarding security lending is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

7. Expense Reductions.

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of the economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $16,902 - a 69.02% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Pratima Abichandani, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Pratima?

A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of -2.77%, -2.92%, -3.18% and -3.17%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index, an index of 240 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector, returned -5.87%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index had a return of -6.01%. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of -0.67%, -0.88%, -1.45% and -1.37%, respectively, while the Goldman Sachs index returned -7.09% and the S&P 500 index returned -16.15%.

Q. What were the principal factors that affected fund performance during the six-month period?

A. Cyclical stocks performed poorly over the full six months, primarily because of the dramatic decline in their prices immediately following the events of September 11, which delayed any hopes of a quick economic recovery. While performance was negative for the six months, the prices of many stocks did recover from their post-September 11 lows. The fund's strong performance relative to the Goldman Sachs index was helped by good stock selection and my substantial underweightings in troubled industries such as automobiles and commodity chemicals, and by my emphasis on areas such as home building that were helped by low interest rates.

Q. What were your principal strategies?

A. I focused on companies that I thought would benefit in an economic recovery. My larger positions included holdings in the home building, home furnishings and home appliance industries, which stood to benefit from persistent consumer demand and low interest rates. I also invested in diversified conglomerates with good cost controls as well as in transportation companies and testing and instrumentation companies. I favored companies that provided technical instruments and consumables for the industrial and health care markets, where I thought demand would persist even if a recovery was delayed. I avoided companies in such sectors as autos, which had declining profitability and whose higher sales were being driven by incentives, and commodity chemicals, where poor fundamentals were not fully reflected in valuations.

Semiannual Report

Advisor Consumer Industries Fund
Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Did your strategy change after September 11?

A. The only change was in airline industry stocks. I had overweighted these stocks before September 11 because they had attractive valuations and seemed poised to do well in an economic rebound. While I didn't reduce this emphasis, I did focus on companies with better balance sheets that would help them survive short-term difficulties. For example, I bought more shares of Northwest Airlines.

Q. What types of investments had the greatest influence on performance?

A. The overweighting of home builders helped. Builders such as Centex, Beazer Homes and Ryland Group all performed well, as did firms in related industries, including Furniture Brands, Black & Decker and Mohawk Industries. Not owning Dow Chemical was a good decision. The company was hard-hit by potential asbestos-related problems. On the negative side, conglomerate Tyco International was a major detractor, as it was plagued by concerns about its accounting practices. However, the company had solid cash flow and still was a major holding at the end of the period. Airline stocks such as United Airlines and Northwest Airlines were detractors even though their stocks recovered some of the value they lost immediately after September 11.

Q. What's your outlook for cyclical stocks?

A. While I hesitate to forecast an economic recovery, there are indications that the economy no longer is deteriorating. Reports from the National Association of Purchasing Managers, for example, indicate that new customer orders have improved. Also, earnings in the second half of 2002 will likely have easier comparisons to earnings reported for the second half of 2001. I intend to maintain my emphasis on companies with good balance sheets that have the potential to benefit from an improving economy, and I will continue to look for fresh, new ideas generated by our team of analysts. While valuations are moderate, the business fundamentals remain close to a bottom. Stocks likely will see incremental benefit from an improving economy. I think the fund is well-positioned to benefit in an economic rebound when there is one.

Cyclical Industries

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $23,912 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have been $6,532 - a 34.68% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $8,627 - a 13.73% decrease.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)
Note to shareholders:
Shep Perkins became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Developing
Communications Fund on January 23, 2002.

Q. How did the fund perform, Shep?

A. Not too well. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -17.50%, -17.62%, -17.92% and -17.80%, respectively. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index, an index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector, returned -7.52%. The overall stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, lost 6.01%. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -37.40%, -37.49%, -37.88% and -37.79%, respectively. This performance surpassed that of the Goldman Sachs index, which lost 38.71%, but again fell short of the S&P 500, which declined 16.15%.

Q. How do you explain the fund's underperformance during the past six months?

A. Unfortunately, it was a poor environment for developing communications stocks. This was especially true of the telecommunications and networking sectors, which make up a large portion of the fund's assets. For a variety of reasons - including slow demand and large unsold inventories - companies in these areas struggled more than the average technology stock, not to mention the overall stock market.

Q. You began managing this fund in January. Could you summarize what you look for when choosing stocks?

A. When selecting developing communications stocks, I look for at least three qualities. First, I like to see companies with a competitive advantage over industry peers; this advantage often translates into a unique product or service offering. Second, I favor businesses that generate strong cash flows, an especially important quality during a difficult market environment. Third, I look for companies with improving fundamentals. For example, I was attracted to AT&T because I thought its business prospects were finally about to get better. I also believed that AT&T's cash flow and valuation made the stock compelling.

Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund
Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What stocks dragged down fund results?

A. Wireless provider Nextel, the fund's second-largest holding at the beginning of the period, was the biggest disappointment during the past six months. The company's fortunes fell along with a slowdown in demand for wireless products. Investors also were worried about Nextel's high level of debt. In response, I dramatically scaled back our position in the stock. Motorola, a technology conglomerate, was another big holding for the fund with weak performance. Motorola showed improvement in its wireless handset business, but the improvement was more than offset by declines in the company's other units. Media giant AOL Time Warner also hurt fund results. AOL's stock suffered when the company fell short of its ambitious growth targets.

Q. Which fund holdings performed well?

A. Two companies that make optical components for data networks, Agere Systems and Finisar, were the fund's strongest performers. During the period, both firms benefited from an inventory correction. As demand for their products reaccelerated, sales did too, sending the share prices up sharply. After these stocks had a nice run, I eliminated the fund's positions in both companies because I thought their valuations were stretched. Silicon Laboratories, a maker of semiconductors for communications devices, was another strong stock for the fund while it was in the portfolio earlier in the period, driven by the promise of new product launches.

Q. What's your outlook, Shep?

A. I'm cautiously optimistic, though I think the market environment for developing communications stocks may continue to be choppy. Nearly all the stocks in the fund's universe have gone down a lot in recent years, making valuations much more attractive than before. The stage is set for some companies to emerge as long-term winners, while others may continue to be losers. My job for shareholders is to pick those stocks I believe may end up on top.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Developing Communications

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $8,148 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have been $8,803 - an 11.97% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $8,627 - a 13.73% decrease.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Ted Orenstein, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Ted?

A. It did relatively well. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -2.91%, -3.12%, -3.23% and -3.34%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector - lost 7.52%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -22.23%, -22.40%, -22.58% and -22.75%, respectively, while the Goldman Sachs index returned -38.71% and the S&P 500 returned -16.15%.

Q. What led to the fund's outperformance of its benchmarks during the six-month period?

A. The key contributor to performance was the fund's holdings in semiconductor stocks. Although the past year was difficult for these stocks since they were in a cyclical downturn deepened by the global economic slowdown, we were close to the bottom of the cycle and were beginning to see improvement. The industry was about nine months into the downturn in the semiconductor industry - meaning we were that much closer to recovery - and then the events of September 11 exacerbated the economy's problems. Since October, however, business fundamentals in general stabilized and semiconductor stocks, as a result, outperformed most other technology industries.

Q. Can you provide more detail about the semiconductor market?

A. There was a massive contraction of the semiconductor equipment industry last year as companies pulled back their capital expenditures. In January 2001, most semiconductor companies forecast that they would spend between zero and 10 percent over their previous year's budget on technology spending. In reality they spent 40% less than they had in 2000 as a result of greater-than-anticipated declines in their revenues. While capital spending remains sluggish, new forecasts suggest a pickup from the low levels seen at the end of 2001. That positive news began to flow through into companies leveraged to technology buying, and they saw an early start to improved orders. In addition, inventory levels became significantly lower during the past six months, which served as a positive catalyst for improvement in new orders along with some new product launches.

Q. Let's talk about some of the stocks that contributed to performance . . .

A. Intel was the top contributor as it benefited from improved demand for personal computers. We haven't seen a PC replacement cycle for three years and we started to get some incremental improvement during the period. This improvement - combined with the smooth product transition to the new Pentium 4 chip, which gives consumers a more powerful computer - enhanced the company's profitability metrics and, accordingly, its stock price. NVIDIA, a graphics chip processor company, also added to performance, driven by the strong U.S. launch of Microsoft's Xbox game units that contain the company's chips.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. The economic slowdown continued to have a negative effect on several stocks held in the fund. Flextronics, which was a top contributor in the report to shareholders six months ago, was the top detractor this time as it suffered from the overall slowdown in outsourcing activity. Motorola also detracted from returns because of competitive and economic pressures. The company has new management in place and is working to improve both its wireless and semiconductor products as well as expense controls and operating metrics. PMC-Sierra and Vitesse Semiconductor, both in the communications equipment sector, remained weak during the period due to continued overcapacity problems and high valuations. Unfortunately, I was slightly early getting into these stocks, but I believed their longer-term stories remained solid.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I'm fairly optimistic. While I believe the economic environment remains very difficult and I'm concerned that expectations may be too high for a strong recovery in the second half of the year, I feel that many of the stocks in the fund have the potential to see higher earnings in the next product cycle. I'll continue to focus on companies that I think have positive product positioning and market share growth prospects.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $38,519 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

You can compare Class A shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 231 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund - Class A on September 3, 1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,840 - a 108.40% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index, it would have grown to $23,230 - a 132.30% increase.

Q. How did the fund perform, Jeff?

A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of -3.19%, -3.31%, -3.59% and -3.49%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index, an index of 231 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector, returned -4.28%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index had a return of -6.01%. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of -7.05%, -7.27%, -7.77% and -7.68%, respectively, while the Goldman Sachs index returned -6.09% and the S&P 500 index declined 16.15%.

Q. What factors had the greatest influence on performance during the period?

A. The investment environment was volatile for financial stocks, especially after September 11. After the terrorist attack, we tended to focus more on those companies whose earnings we had the greatest confidence in, causing us to be relatively defensive in our weightings compared to the Goldman Sachs index. This stance helped the fund's relative performance in a difficult period. The outlook for finance stocks was uncertain even before September 11. Investors worried about falling equity prices, which had a particularly noticeable impact on brokerages, as well as the possibility of eroding loan quality in a slowing economy. Although the Federal Reserve Board aggressively cut short-term interest rates throughout 2001, the market remained concerned about how long the economic downturn would last. In this challenging environment, the better-performing financial institutions tended to be those with relatively high-quality loan portfolios.

Q. What were your principal strategies?

A. As the six-month period began, the fund was positioned more aggressively to benefit from an economic rebound. For example, we emphasized brokerage stocks, whose stock prices had declined because of falling equity markets and declining investment banking business. However, these firms turned out to be vulnerable following September 11 as investors worried about continued weakness in the capital markets. We then adjusted the portfolio for more balance between cyclical companies and companies with predictable earnings. As a result, we increased the emphasis on government-related enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, transaction processors such as First Data, well-capitalized banks with quality loan portfolios and bond insurers.

Q. What effects did the losses associated with September 11 have on property-and-casualty insurance stocks?

A. The immediate effect was dramatic and negative. Investors dumped the stocks of companies they feared might be exposed to catastrophic casualty losses. However, their stock prices started to recover as investors began to distinguish between companies that would be hurt by attack-related claims and those firms with only minimal exposure. The stocks continued to rise as investors realized that the property-and-casualty industry would gain additional pricing power - meaning the ability to raise premiums - because of new awareness about the dangers of terrorism after September 11.

Q. What types of investments most influenced performance, either positively or negatively?

A. Bank One and Mercantile Bankshares, two banks that were able to deliver their financial targets in a tough environment, were positive contributors. While brokerage stocks as a group performed poorly, some companies, such as Charles Schwab and Goldman Sachs, nevertheless were positive contributors to performance. On the negative side, Household International detracted from returns. It fell because of concerns about potential deterioration in consumer credit quality. PNC Financial Services, another disappointing performer, declined because of its recent announcement that it would restate earnings due to some off-balance sheet exposures.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The economy will have a great influence on the performance of finance stocks. Despite the slump, many banks have continued to perform well, helped by declining short-term interest rates that made loans more profitable, continued strong consumer borrowing and no significant deterioration in credit quality. However, the Federal Reserve may be close to the end of its rate cuts, consumers have already started to cut their borrowing and credit problems could increase if the economy does not rebound. On the other hand, investment banks could do very well if the economy recovers and equity markets rebound.

Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of voluntary waivers reflects expenses after reimbursements by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $639,045 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $188,684 of the fund's expenses. 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 $278.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, one unaffiliated shareholder held 10% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund - Class A on September 3, 1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $21,669 - a 116.69% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index, it would have grown to $25,200 - a 152.00% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Yolanda Strock, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Yolanda?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares declined 4.31%, 4.45%, 4.71% and 4.66%, respectively. These returns underperformed the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - which declined 2.62%. However, the fund outpaced the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares declined 9.21%, 9.47%, 9.90% and 9.86%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs index fell 5.69% and the S&P 500 index fell 16.15%.

Q. Why did health care stocks hold up better than the broader market?

A. Generally speaking, investors felt the sector's fundamentals looked more attractive relative to other industries. More specifically, the earnings growth of health care companies historically has held up relatively well during an economic downturn compared to other industries. That said, I had expected health care stocks - particularly pharmaceutical stocks - to perform much better on an absolute basis than they actually did, given the rapid decline of the economy and using historical patterns as a guidepost.

Q. Why did drug stocks perform worse than you expected?

A. Despite continued aggressive interest rate cutting by the Federal Reserve Board, economic sentiment shifted intermittently throughout the past six months. As a result, pharmaceutical stocks suffered from what I call "fits and starts," meaning a series of ups and downs that create short-term sector volatility. Additionally, the sector grappled with a number of issues, such as high-profile drug patent expirations and some unexpected Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decisions, which compromised the growth outlook of several companies. For example, Schering-Plough tumbled after the FDA determined that the company's production facilities didn't meet certain cleanliness standards.

Q. What factors caused the fund to underperfom the Goldman Sachs index?

A. Holding a higher average biotechnology weighting was the primary reason, as a number of factors put pressure on this group. First, given the continued economic uncertainty, risk-averse investors generally weren't willing to reward companies with high earnings growth potential, including biotech names. Additionally, four major acquisitions were announced in the fourth quarter. The most significant of these was Amgen's offer to buy Immunex for $16 billion in cash and stock, marking the biggest merger ever between two biotech companies. These deals were important because they signaled that the biotech industry may be becoming mature enough to create and market their own drugs. However, given the poor economic environment, many investors questioned the timeliness of the deals and, particularly, the high premium Amgen paid for Immunex. Finally, the FDA failed to accept a drug application by ImClone Systems for its promising new colorectal cancer drug, Erbitux, causing a hangover for the entire sector.

Q. What stocks were top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Johnson & Johnson delivered an 18% rise in fourth-quarter profits on strong sales in its prescription drug and medical device businesses. Biopharmaceutical firm Gilead Sciences performed well on promising results for its hepatitis drug, Adefovir Dipivoxil, as well as high expectations for two other drugs in its pipeline. On the down side, after health care distributor Cardinal Health's stock price appreciation in 2001, investors took profits in the stock due to slowing same-store sales at some of its larger retail pharmacy customers. Bristol-Myers Squibb, which earlier in the period bought a $2 billion stake in future profits of ImClone's Erbitux, was hurt by negative sentiment when the drug stumbled in its FDA approval process.

Q. What's your outlook for the health care sector, Yolanda?

A. If there's an economic recovery in 2002, the health care sector - given its stable growth history and the economic sensitivity built into other sectors - may have a difficult time matching the performance of the broader market. On the other hand, if the economy continues to plod along without improvement, health care stocks could continue to perform relatively well in comparison to other areas of the market.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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:

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $976,104 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $138,574 of the fund's expenses. 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 $556.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to January 1, 1996). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund - Class A on January 31, 1992, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $28,153 - a 181.53% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $33,899 - a 238.99% increase. (The Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index does not extend as far back as the fund's start date, and therefore cannot be used for this comparison.)

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund - Class B on January 31, 1992. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $28,598 - a 185.98% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $33,899 - a 238.99% increase. (The Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index does not extend as far back as the fund's start date, and therefore cannot be used for this comparison.)

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Advisor Natural Resources Fund - Class C

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997. Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Returns between July 3, 1995 and November 3, 1997 are those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares' 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' prior 0.65% 12b-1 fee. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to July 3, 1995 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past six months, past one year, past five years and past 10 years total return figures are 1%, 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Class C shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare Class C shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 108 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resource sector. Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Scott Offen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Scott?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares declined 7.32%, 7.42%, 7.66% and 7.67%, respectively. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - an index of 108 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector - fell 10.26%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -10.24%, -10.40%, -10.88% and -10.87%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -15.26% and -16.15%, respectively.

Q. Why did the natural resources sector lag the overall market during the six-month period?

A. Falling commodity prices stemming from a sluggish economy - further weakened by the 9/11 attacks - were to blame. Energy, by far the sector's largest industry component, led the downturn as slackening global demand and growing supply pressure caused oil inventories to rise and prices to decline by more than 27% during the period - nearing two-year lows. OPEC - the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries - cut production in September and January in an effort to stem the decline. However, uncertainty surrounding the January cut, coupled with skepticism about the enforcement of supporting production cuts from nonmember countries such as Russia, kept oil prices from rebounding. Sagging demand due to economic and weather factors teamed with mounting supply from a couple of big finds in Canada to sack natural gas prices, which finished the period down nearly 80% from their peak in 2001 even after snapping back in recent months. While energy stocks benefited late in the year from renewed enthusiasm about a potential economic recovery in 2002, a continued weak pricing environment for oil and the sector's more defensive nature caused them to trail the gains registered by more cyclically sensitive areas. Stocks within the other natural resources industries - including metals and minerals - tend to be cyclically oriented and, thus, responded well to the prospects for recovery.

Q. Why did the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs benchmark?

A. Strong stock picking in energy was the key to our success relative to the index. We benefited the most from limiting our exposure to lagging utilities, most notably energy trader Enron, whose rapid demise dragged down most other related companies in the index, such as Dynegy. Overweighting energy services and equipment stocks, particularly oil and gas drillers, also aided performance. These groups bounced back from a major sell-off early in the period on expectations that a pick-up in the economy would lead to increased spending on energy production. ENSCO and BJ Services were notable contributors here. I remained bullish on services firms that were leveraged to oil, based on the long-term need for the U.S. to build new oil supplies - outside of OPEC - due to under-investment in recent years. Having ample exposure to the major integrated oil companies also proved wise. While these firms suffered from lower oil prices and the market rotation away from more-defensive, less-cyclical businesses, stocks such as Phillips Petroleum and ChevronTexaco benefited from the tremendous cost savings expected from industry consolidation. Elsewhere, the fund's emphasis on aluminum stocks paid off, as did a small out-of-benchmark stake in chemicals, which I have since sold off.

Q. What moves dampened results?

A. It really was more of a story of what we didn't own. We lost ground to the Goldman Sachs index by remaining underexposed to natural gas exploration and production stocks such as Apache, which staged a rally in the fourth quarter. While I was surprised at their strong performance, I felt it unlikely to continue given my bearish near-term outlook for gas prices based on continued weak demand and high levels of inventory that could take some time to deplete. Underweighting gold stocks also hurt, as jittery equity investors looked for a place to hide in a bear market. Pricing erosion hampered our holdings in paper and forest products, including Georgia-Pacific. Oil services giant Halliburton disappointed due to unfavorable asbestos litigation against it. Several stocks mentioned in this report were no longer held at the close of the period.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I remain optimistic about energy stocks, thanks to a favorable long-term trend in the supply/demand balance for oil and natural gas. The outlook for oil stocks, unlike natural gas, has improved of late with the economy showing some signs of life and OPEC following through with additional production cuts, which could lead us back to above-average pricing levels. I'm still positive on the integrated oil companies because they're running their businesses better and, therefore, I feel they deserve higher valuations.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $306,151 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $95,455 of the fund's expenses. 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 $299.

8. Distributions to Shareholders.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,781 - an 87.81% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Technology Index, it would have grown to $21,150 - a 111.50% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Effective February 15, 2002, after the period covered by this report, Sonu Kalra became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund.

Q. How did the fund perform, Sonu?

A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -9.74%, -9.84%, -10.11% and -10.03%, respectively. That performance trailed the -7.52% return of the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -36.69%, -36.84%, -37.24% and -37.17%, respectively, while the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -38.71% and -16.15%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund underperform its benchmarks during the period?

A. The past six months encompassed two very different environments. From the first week in August through September 21, technology share prices declined dramatically, as the economy continued to weaken and the markets absorbed the shock of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The fund lost considerable ground on the S&P 500 during this time because the index was cushioned to some extent by its broad diversification. In late September, partly in response to the Federal Reserve Board's aggressive easing of monetary policy, the broader market began a rally that carried through the end of the year. Technology stocks spearheaded this rally, and the fund was able to close much of the performance gap separating it from the S&P 500. An overweighting in Microsoft substantially helped our performance in the fourth quarter of 2001, but had essentially a neutral impact for the entire period under review. In terms of the Goldman Sachs index, while we benefited from our increased emphasis on several strong performing mid-cap semiconductor stocks during the period, we were hurt even more by our exposure to the underperforming telecommunications equipment group.

Q. What was the attraction of mid-cap semiconductor stocks?

A. Semiconductors are a very cyclical industry, and they were due for a recovery. The former portfolio managers were beginning to see signs that the inventory correction that caused revenues in the industry to tail off would soon work itself out. When they looked at the universe of semiconductor stocks, the mid-cap space had the most attractive valuations compared with expected growth rates.

Q. Can you discuss your management philosophy?

A. Sure. I run the fund with a decidedly bottom-up orientation, getting to know each holding extremely well. For me, that means talking with suppliers and customers in addition to company management. I like to see strong market position, accelerating growth rates and improving profit margins, among other factors. I also have fairly strict sell criteria because no matter how good a company is, there is a valuation point at which its stock is no longer a good investment.

Q. Which stocks helped performance?

A. NVIDIA was the holding that made the most positive contribution. The graphics microprocessor manufacturer performed well on the strength of several promising new products, including the chip that runs Microsoft's new video game console, the Xbox. IBM also was a notable contributor. In our conversations with the company's customers, we determined that it was gaining market share in many of its business lines. Furthermore, IBM posted relatively strong earnings in a year when most technology companies had extremely disappointing earnings. Storage software stock VERITAS was another holding that aided performance, as storage of electronic information suddenly became a much higher priority after September 11.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. Motorola was the biggest detractor. We bought the stock because we had confidence that the company's restructuring program would rejuvenate earnings growth. However, Motorola's wireless handset sales were lower than expected due to slowing growth in the wireless market. Sun Microsystems suffered from a depressed market for its Unix servers, and we sold the stock. Memory chipmaker Micron Technology encountered pricing pressure for its products due to increased competition, while optical networking equipment provider CIENA felt the brunt of the telecom slump.

Q. What's your outlook, Sonu?

A. Although the long-term outlook for technology stocks is favorable, over the short term a weak economy and generally rich valuations could limit upside progress in the sector. In this challenging environment, I believe stock selection will assume an even greater importance than usual. Given the cyclical nature of many technology companies, those that can benefit from the "sweet spot" of product development cycles should be especially attractive. Finding such companies will be a primary area of emphasis for me. With 45 analysts worldwide who devote their full-time efforts to the technology industry, Fidelity has the resources to uncover opportunities that are often missed by other investors.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $1,906,248 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $290,231 of the fund's expenses. 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 $5,106.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

You can compare Class A shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 119 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. Issues in the index include generators and distributors of electricity, distributors of natural gas and water, and providers of telecommunications services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $15,492 - a 54.92% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase.

Fund Talk: The Managers' Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)
(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: The following is an interview with Tim Cohen (left), who managed Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Fund during the period covered by this report, with additional comments from Shep Perkins (right), who became Portfolio Manager of the fund on February 6, 2002.

Q. How did the fund perform, Tim?

T.C. Telecommunications and utilities stocks continued to struggle. For the six months ending January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -17.59%, -17.67%, -17.91% and -17.85%, respectively. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - an index of 119 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector - declined 18.19%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -6.01%. For the 12 months ending January 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -26.67%, -26.82%, -27.27% and -27.16%, respectively, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -29.06% and -16.15%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs index but lag the S&P 500 during the six-month period?

T.C. Favorable stock selection among electric utilities and integrated telecom service providers helped the fund versus the Goldman Sachs index. The fund also benefited from overweighting the latter group, as the regional Bell operating companies, or RBOCs, did not decline as much during the period as the stocks of alternative carriers. Another positive influence on performance compared with the Goldman Sachs index was an underweighting and strong stock selection in the wireless services segment. While wireless stocks remained in the doldrums, the fund's emphasis on small regional carriers and avoidance of the largest providers were timely. On the negative side, an overweighted position in global independent power producer AES detracted significantly from performance compared with the index in September, when the company issued an earnings warning and its share price was cut in half in a single day. Relative to the S&P 500, the fund suffered from its concentration in two of the broader market's weakest groups during the period - telecommunications and utilities.

Q. Did the fund's positioning change significantly during the period?

T.C. The fund's basic positioning remained intact. Power prices suffered their first cyclical downturn of the deregulated era, and I continued to emphasize traditional electric utilities with significant dividend yields, strong management and minimal exposure to the unregulated power market. In wireline telecommunications, the weak economy and lack of financing for new projects caused me to remain focused on companies with an established customer base, low debt and strong cash flow. In the wireless communications area, intense competition, slowing subscriber growth and rich valuations plagued many pure wireless plays. I therefore favored wireless tower stocks and smaller, regional players that were capable of offering integrated packages of wireless and wireline services.

Q. What stocks helped the fund's performance?

T.C. Southern Company, the fund's strongest contributor, was a good example of a well-run conventional utility that weathered the volatile market environment during the period fairly well. FirstEnergy, Entergy, Ameren and TXU were other electric utilities that made positive contributions to the fund's performance.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

T.C. AES, mentioned earlier, was the biggest detractor. The company attributed its earnings shortfall to a lack of new acquisition opportunities, weakness in Brazil's currency and a decline in United Kingdom power prices. The stock is now a smaller part of the fund. Qwest Communications was another detractor, hampered by disappointing third-quarter results and lowered expectations for future earnings and revenues. RBOCs Verizon and SBC Communications did not suffer big declines but the fund's large positions in them hurt its performance. Finally, the story of energy trading firm Enron is well known to most investors, but suffice it to say I was shocked at the speed of the company's fall from grace. In retrospect, I wish I had sold Enron sooner, but the situation could have been much worse.

Q. Turning to you, Shep, what's your outlook?

S.P. The Federal Reserve Board's aggressive lowering of short-term interest rates succeeded in reversing the broader market's decline at the end of the third quarter. In the telecom sector, share prices of equipment companies were helped by indications that demand was finally starting to draw down inventories. However, I believe that even if some parts of the economy begin to strengthen, the supply and demand characteristics of the telecommunications and power utility markets make it unlikely that we will see a dramatic improvement there over the near term. I am therefore comfortable with the fund's defensive positioning.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $411,423 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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. Additional information regarding security lending is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

7. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $98,047 of the fund's expenses. 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 $134.

8. Distributions to Shareholders.

Semiannual Report

Performance Overview

Unfortunately for most investors, little changed with respect to the flagging performance of stocks during the six-month period ending January 31, 2002. With the exception of most undervalued small-and medium-sized companies that had been largely overlooked during the bull market cycle of the late 1990s, stocks generally continued their recent trend of delivering negative returns.

There were a few major reasons for poor stock performance. The slumping U.S. economy squeezed corporate profits in many industries. The low point came in the third quarter of 2001, as quarterly gross domestic product fell into negative territory for the first time since 1993, and year-over-year corporate profits fell to new lows. Furthermore, a lack of promising fourth-quarter corporate earnings reports failed to convince investors that the near-term outlook for the economy and corporate earnings was any brighter. In its ongoing attempt to provide a stimulus to the economy, the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy-making committee cut interest rates five successive times during the period. This aggressive easing brought interest rates down to their lowest levels in decades, but by period end the Fed's efforts still had little positive impact on the economy, or on stock performance.

Elsewhere, a handful of high-profile companies surprisingly fell into bankruptcy, most notably energy trading and pipeline firm Enron, whose stock price tumbled from nearly $90 per share in August to less than $1 per share in December. Enron's collapse was driven by the company's lack of adherence to up-front accounting principles, which served to shroud the company's off-balance-sheet debt and inflate its earnings. Enron's accounting was called into question by investors, employees, regulators and legislators. Perhaps most significantly, the scandal heightened concerns about the accounting of other companies.

Another event that influenced stock prices was the terrorist attacks on September 11, which destroyed several World Trade Center buildings in New York City and damaged the Pentagon. These tragic events severely reduced commerce in several industries during the weeks following the attacks, including retail, media, lodging and air transportation. Companies in these industries saw a substantial drop in revenues and earnings, which reduced their stock valuations considerably. By the end of the period, some of these stocks had rebounded back to levels seen just prior to September 11 as investors swooped in to pick up bargains. Many, however, still remained lower.

These three negative factors - the slowing economy, the Enron collapse and the slowdown in commerce following the terrorist attacks - were reflected in the returns of major equity indexes. The blue chips' Dow Jones Industrial Average SM declined 4.84%, while the large-cap Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index fell 6.01% and 4.44%, respectively. Growth stocks were punished for their higher valuations and lagged the performance of value stocks across the board. One of the equity markets' few bright spots was the small-cap value category, which returned 4.85% as measured by the Russell 2000® Value Index. Mid-cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Value Index, eked out a modest 0.49% gain.

Turning to individual sector performance for the six-month period, consumer industries was the only sector that generated a positive return. Increased demand for stocks of companies that produced consumer-staple products - including nondurables, food and beverages - or those likely to maintain their earnings growth rates in a poor economic environment helped boost stock prices.

Health care stocks also outperformed the broader market, but their negative returns - as reflected by the 2.62% decline for the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index - generally proved disappointing, since this defensive-minded sector typically shines during periods of economic uncertainty. Several pharmaceutical stocks struggled with the expiration of patents on their most profitable drugs and scrambled to replace market share lost to generic-drug producers. Investors also remained cool to biotechnology stocks, given their high valuations and overall low current earnings visibility.

A number of factors hurt financial services stocks. Growing credit concerns caused a big negative impact on banks with high-risk, sub-prime lending operations. Elsewhere, the terrorist attacks of September 11 had wide-ranging effects. Stock markets closed for nearly a week, reducing trading volume and drying up underwriting activity for investment banks and brokerages. Facing large loss claims, stocks of insurance companies were punished severely following the attacks.

Investors also reacted unfavorably to cyclical industries stocks, given their economic sensitivity and the fallout from September 11. The airlines were the most visibly damaged stock group due to the sharp decline in travel, particularly higher-margin business travel, as companies cut costs in the face of an economic downturn. Bright spots included homebuilding stocks and defense contractors, where demand remained strong.

Technology stocks underwent an extremely volatile period. The sector was the worst performing group in the first half of the six-month period, as investors reacted negatively to the sector's high valuations. But tech stocks rallied during the final three months when investors grew optimistic about stabilization in the economy and flocked to semiconductor and blue-chip personal computer stocks.

Among the hardest hit sectors during the past six months was natural resources. Supplies of oil and natural gas rose, causing a price decline for these commodities and, ultimately, for the corporate earnings of many energy producers. In the fourth quarter of 2001, expectations for an economic recovery in 2002 boosted the stocks of energy services and equipment stocks, as well as cyclical non-energy industries such as forest and paper, aluminum and other non-precious metals.

Telecommunication services and utilities were by far the worst-performing sectors during the past six months. As the period progressed, increased optimism about the economy caused investors to shy away from defensive-oriented regional Bell operating companies, as well as alternative carriers. Wireless stocks fell, in large part due to slowing subscriber growth, heavy competition and rich valuations. The Enron episode sent ripples throughout the utilities sector. The stocks of companies with extensive electricity or natural gas trading operations came under selling pressure, and that concern was compounded by existing questions about slowing power demand and increasing plant capacity.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on December 27, 2000. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance both of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long-term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Biotechnology Fund - Institutional Class on December 27, 2000, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have been $6,360 - a 36.40% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $8,627 - a 13.73% decrease. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index, it would have been $8,629 - a 13.71% decrease.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Brian Younger, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Brian?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares declined 10.30%. This return underperformed the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - which fell 2.62%. The fund also trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares declined 28.62%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs index fell 5.69% and the S&P 500 index dropped 16.15%.

Q. Why did the fund underperform the Goldman Sachs index during the past six months?

A. Amid an uncertain economy, risk-averse investors generally weren't willing to reward the future growth prospects of biotechnology stocks, causing them to underperform other health care industries included in the index that historically have generated more stable earnings growth.

Q. What other factors influenced performance?

A. A number of events within the biotech industry put pressure on stocks late in the fourth quarter. First, there were four major corporate mergers announced that caused concern with the investment community: Amgen acquired Immunex; Millennium Pharmaceuticals acquired COR Therapeutics; MedImmune purchased Aviron; and Cephalon bought Group Lafon. Additionally, investors responded unfavorably to two companies, Human Genome Sciences and Protein Design Labs, that presented questionable clinical-trial data on some high-profile drugs - Repifermin, for wound healing, and Remitogen for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, respectively. Finally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it wouldn't consider an application by ImClone Systems for approval of its promising new colorectal cancer drug, Erbitux.

Q. Can you elaborate on why the FDA's decision on ImClone's cancer drug application had such a broad impact on the industry?

A. In my opinion, the market severely overreacted. Biotechnology stocks have a history of high volatility based on news flow, and the recent ImClone case is a perfect example. Unfortunately, when these stories break, investors tend to react in similar fashion to the entire industry. What I believed was overlooked was that the FDA's decision didn't speak to the clinical effectiveness of Erbitux. Reflecting its potential, pharmaceutical giant Bristol-Myers Squibb invested $2 billion to take part in the future profits of the drug earlier in the period, sending ImClone's stock to new highs. Had Erbitux's application been accepted, it was widely believed that the drug would have been approved in mid-2002. But now the drug may not be on the market until 2003. Investors may have been concerned that this delay could erode the drug's market exclusivity, allowing competitors with similar drugs to potentially steal market share.

Q. What holdings were top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Gilead Sciences, the fund's top performer, benefited when initial sales for its recently launched HIV drug treatment, Viread, exceeded expectations. Investors also responded favorably to IDEC Pharmaceuticals, because the company had solid product revenues and positive earnings. In terms of disappointments, our large positions in Millennium and Human Genome Sciences held back the fund's return. These companies had products in the earlier stages of clinical trials and had yet to turn a profit. As such, risk-averse investors generally punished them more than better-established, profitable companies. But there were exceptions. Amgen was hurt by skepticism about the price it paid to acquire Immunex.

Q. What's your outlook, Brian?

A. I'm optimistic that investors will begin to recognize the improving fundamentals of biotech companies and react less impulsively to the group when individual companies face short-term obstacles. More companies are turning a profit or are close to turning a profit than ever before, corporate balance sheets have never been stronger, the recent flurry of merger activity has shown that the industry is becoming mature enough to execute acquisitions, and companies increasingly are developing the capability to create and market their own products.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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 $32,482 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on September 3, 1996. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 268 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products, and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund - Institutional Class on September 3, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,872 - an 88.72% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index, it would have grown to $18,644 - an 86.44% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with John Porter, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, John?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -1.67%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 268 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - returned 1.09%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional shares returned -3.62%, compared with returns of -1.50% for the Goldman Sachs index and -16.15% for the S&P 500.

Q. Why did the fund underperform the Goldman Sachs index?

A. Perhaps by being a bit too cautious. There have been a lot of pressure points on the American consumer over the past six months. With the economy and job market both weakening, consumer balance sheets were showing a good deal of debt, but consumers really weren't slowing their spending. I saw this as reason for concern and responded by adopting a cautious positioning, de-emphasizing consumer discretionary stocks and taking a more favorable view of consumer staples, where I saw better fundamental trends and more attractive valuations. That strategy worked pretty well until mid-fall, when investor sentiment changed course in the aftermath of September 11. The market was flooded with new liquidity from interest rate cuts and the prospects of an economic stimulus package, and investors began bidding up the consumer discretionary segment in anticipation of an economic recovery. Since the fund was underweighted in that segment compared with the Goldman Sachs index, it did not get the same lift. So it was well-positioned for the first half of the period, but not so well thereafter, which is generally why the fund underperformed the benchmark.

Q. How did you deal with these unusual events in the market?

A. My immediate reaction after 9/11 was to become even more cautious. There were a few retail and media stocks that I had been optimistic about prior to the attacks, even though I was underweighting the consumer discretionary sector as a whole. After 9/11, I pared back some of those positions. It soon became apparent, however, that the market was rallying around consumer discretionaries, so I bought back some of the names I'd sold. This was a short-term strategy change, based mainly on the market's optimistic reaction to external influences; it does not reflect my still-cautious view of this part of the industry over the longer term.

Q. What stocks did the most to help performance during the period?

A. The two largest contributors were Gillette and Procter & Gamble, both household names in the staples arena, which the market supported quite well. Both stocks also benefited from market enthusiasm about more realistic corporate growth expectations from their new CEOs. Philip Morris, another consumer staples name, also did well. Even with a cautious view toward consumer discretionary names, I found value in some retail-oriented stocks. Lowe's, for example, the home improvement company, did well on the basis of market expansion and same-store sales growth. Circuit City, which I bought after 9/11, benefited from overall resilience in the consumer electronics segment and had a nice run late in the year.

Q. Which stocks disappointed in their performance?

A. The biggest detractor was Kmart, the discount retailer, which fell quickly out of favor during the period and eventually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. I sold this stock from the portfolio. Some of the media stocks I bought as value plays did not perform as well as I'd hoped. As the economy continued to soften, earnings outlooks at some of these companies - Viacom and Clear Channel, for example - fell more than expected, and the stocks did not sustain the valuation support I thought they had. Disappointing earnings forecasts also were responsible for poorer-than-expected performances from apparel retailers such as Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch.

Q. What's your near-term outlook, John?

A. My view hasn't changed that much. While the market appears to be pricing an economic recovery into the consumer discretionary segment, I remain skeptical. The job market is still weak. Consumer balance sheets are still highly leveraged. So I'm not very inspired by the fundamental outlook for discretionary-oriented consumer names, and when I look at their valuations, I'm even less inspired. Consumer staples still look like a better place to invest, so that is the positioning I'll likely maintain going forward.

Consumer Industries

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $39,695 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 their 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.

Additional information regarding security lending is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

7. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on September 3, 1996. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 240 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of the economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund - Institutional Class on September 3, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,232 - an 82.32% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index, it would have grown to $14,191 - a 41.91% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Pratima Abichandani, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Pratima?

A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares had a total return of -2.73%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index, an index of 240 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector, returned -5.87%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index had a return of -6.01%. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares had a total return of -0.47%, while the Goldman Sachs index returned -7.09% and the S&P 500 index returned -16.15%.

Q. What were the principal factors that affected fund performance during the six-month period?

A. Cyclical stocks performed poorly over the full six months, primarily because of the dramatic decline in their prices immediately following the events of September 11, which delayed any hopes of a quick economic recovery. While performance was negative for the six months, the prices of many stocks did recover from their post-September 11 lows. The fund's strong performance relative to the Goldman Sachs index was helped by good stock selection and my substantial underweightings in troubled industries such as automobiles and commodity chemicals, and by my emphasis on areas such as home building that were helped by low interest rates.

Q. What were your principal strategies?

A. I focused on companies that I thought would benefit in an economic recovery. My larger positions included holdings in the home building, home furnishings and home appliance industries, which stood to benefit from persistent consumer demand and low interest rates. I also invested in diversified conglomerates with good cost controls as well as in transportation companies and testing and instrumentation companies. I favored companies that provided technical instruments and consumables for the industrial and health care markets, where I thought demand would persist even if a recovery was delayed. I avoided companies in such sectors as autos, which had declining profitability and whose higher sales were being driven by incentives, and commodity chemicals, where poor fundamentals were not fully reflected in valuations.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Did your strategy change after September 11?

A. The only change was in airline industry stocks. I had overweighted these stocks before September 11 because they had attractive valuations and seemed poised to do well in an economic rebound. While I didn't reduce this emphasis, I did focus on companies with better balance sheets that would help them survive short-term difficulties. For example, I bought more shares of Northwest Airlines.

Q. What types of investments had the greatest influence on performance?

A. The overweighting of home builders helped. Builders such as Centex, Beazer Homes and Ryland Group all performed well, as did firms in related industries, including Furniture Brands, Black & Decker and Mohawk Industries. Not owning Dow Chemical was a good decision. The company was hard-hit by potential asbestos-related problems. On the negative side, conglomerate Tyco International was a major detractor, as it was plagued by concerns about its accounting practices. However, the company had solid cash flow and still was a major holding at the end of the period. Airline stocks such as United Airlines and Northwest Airlines were detractors even though their stocks recovered some of the value they lost immediately after September 11.

Q. What's your outlook for cyclical stocks?

A. While I hesitate to forecast an economic recovery, there are indications that the economy no longer is deteriorating. Reports from the National Association of Purchasing Managers, for example, indicate that new customer orders have improved. Also, earnings in the second half of 2002 will likely have easier comparisons to earnings reported for the second half of 2001. I intend to maintain my emphasis on companies with good balance sheets that have the potential to benefit from an improving economy, and I will continue to look for fresh, new ideas generated by our team of analysts. While valuations are moderate, the business fundamentals remain close to a bottom. Stocks likely will see incremental benefit from an improving economy. I think the fund is well-positioned to benefit in an economic rebound when there is one.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $23,912 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on December 27, 2000. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Developing Communications Fund - Institutional Class on December 27, 2000, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have been $6,960 - a 30.40% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $8,627 - a 13.73% decrease. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Technology Index, it would have been $6,848 - a 31.52% decrease.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)
Note to shareholders:
Shep Perkins became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Developing
Communications Fund on January 23, 2002.

Q. How did the fund perform, Shep?

A. Not too well. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -17.34%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index, an index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector, returned -7.52%. The overall stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, lost 6.01%. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -37.13%. This performance surpassed that of the Goldman Sachs index, which lost 38.71%, but again fell short of the S&P 500, which declined 16.15%.

Q. How do you explain the fund's underperformance during the past six months?

A. Unfortunately, it was a poor environment for developing communications stocks. This was especially true of the telecommunications and networking sectors, which make up a large portion of the fund's assets. For a variety of reasons - including slow demand and large unsold inventories - companies in these areas struggled more than the average technology stock, not to mention the overall stock market.

Q. You began managing this fund in January. Could you summarize what you look for when choosing stocks?

A. When selecting developing communications stocks, I look for at least three qualities. First, I like to see companies with a competitive advantage over industry peers; this advantage often translates into a unique product or service offering. Second, I favor businesses that generate strong cash flows, an especially important quality during a difficult market environment. Third, I look for companies with improving fundamentals. For example, I was attracted to AT&T because I thought its business prospects were finally about to get better. I also believed that AT&T's cash flow and valuation made the stock compelling.

Advisor Developing Communications Fund
Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What stocks dragged down fund results?

A. Wireless provider Nextel, the fund's second-largest holding at the beginning of the period, was the biggest disappointment during the past six months. The company's fortunes fell along with a slowdown in demand for wireless products. Investors also were worried about Nextel's high level of debt. In response, I dramatically scaled back our position in the stock. Motorola, a technology conglomerate, was another big holding for the fund with weak performance. Motorola showed improvement in its wireless handset business, but the improvement was more than offset by declines in the company's other units. Media giant AOL Time Warner also hurt fund results. AOL's stock suffered when the company fell short of its ambitious growth targets.

Q. Which fund holdings performed well?

A. Two companies that make optical components for data networks, Agere Systems and Finisar, were the fund's strongest performers. During the period, both firms benefited from an inventory correction. As demand for their products reaccelerated, sales did too, sending the share prices up sharply. After these stocks had a nice run, I eliminated the fund's positions in both companies because I thought their valuations were stretched. Silicon Laboratories, a maker of semiconductors for communications devices, was another strong stock for the fund while it was in the portfolio earlier in the period, driven by the promise of new product launches.

Q. What's your outlook, Shep?

A. I'm cautiously optimistic, though I think the market environment for developing communications stocks may continue to be choppy. Nearly all the stocks in the fund's universe have gone down a lot in recent years, making valuations much more attractive than before. The stage is set for some companies to emerge as long-term winners, while others may continue to be losers. My job for shareholders is to pick those stocks I believe may end up on top.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Developing Communications

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $8,148 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on December 27, 2000. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund - Institutional Class on December 27, 2000, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have been $9,370 - a 6.30% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $8,627- a 13.73% decrease. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Technology Index, it would have been $6,848 - a 31.52% decrease.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Ted Orenstein, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Ted?

A. It did relatively well. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -2.80%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector - lost 7.52%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares declined 21.98% while the Goldman Sachs index dropped 38.71% and the S&P 500 lost 16.15%.

Q. What led to the fund's outperformance of its benchmarks during the six-month period?

A. The key contributor to performance was the fund's holdings in semiconductor stocks. Although the past year was difficult for these stocks since they were in a cyclical downturn deepened by the global economic slowdown, we were close to the bottom of the cycle and were beginning to see improvement. The industry was about nine months into the downturn in the semiconductor industry - meaning we were that much closer to recovery - and then the events of September 11 exacerbated the economy's problems. Since October, however, business fundamentals in general stabilized and semiconductor stocks, as a result, outperformed most other technology industries.

Q. Can you provide more detail about the semiconductor market?

A. There was a massive contraction of the semiconductor equipment industry last year as companies pulled back their capital expenditures. In January 2001, most semiconductor companies forecast that they would spend between zero and 10 percent over their previous year's budget on technology spending. In reality they spent 40% less than they had in 2000 as a result of greater-than-anticipated declines in their revenues. While capital spending remains sluggish, new forecasts suggest a pickup from the low levels seen at the end of 2001. That positive news began to flow through into companies leveraged to technology buying, and they saw an early start to improved orders. In addition, inventory levels became significantly lower during the past six months, which served as a positive catalyst for improvement in new orders along with some new product launches.

Q. Let's talk about some of the stocks that contributed to performance . . .

A. Intel was the top contributor as it benefited from improved demand for personal computers. We haven't seen a PC replacement cycle for three years and we started to get some incremental improvement during the period. This improvement - combined with the smooth product transition to the new Pentium 4 chip, which gives consumers a more powerful computer - enhanced the company's profitability metrics and, accordingly, its stock price. NVIDIA, a graphics chip processor company, also added to performance, driven by the strong U.S. launch of Microsoft's Xbox game units that contain the company's chips.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. The economic slowdown continued to have a negative effect on several stocks held in the fund. Flextronics, which was a top contributor in the report to shareholders six months ago, was the top detractor this time as it suffered from the overall slowdown in outsourcing activity. Motorola also detracted from returns because of competitive and economic pressures. The company has new management in place and is working to improve both its wireless and semiconductor products as well as expense controls and operating metrics. PMC-Sierra and Vitesse Semiconductor, both in the communications equipment sector, remained weak during the period due to continued overcapacity problems and high valuations. Unfortunately, I was slightly early getting into these stocks, but I believed their longer-term stories remained solid.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I'm fairly optimistic. While I believe the economic environment remains very difficult and I'm concerned that expectations may be too high for a strong recovery in the second half of the year, I feel that many of the stocks in the fund have the potential to see higher earnings in the next product cycle. I'll continue to focus on companies that I think have positive product positioning and market share growth prospects.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $38,519 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

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 $55.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on September 3, 1996. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 231 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund - Institutional Class on September 3, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $22,467 - a 124.67% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - a 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Industries Index, it would have grown to $23,230 - a 132.30% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

-

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Jeffrey Feingold became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund on October 9, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Jeff?

A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares had a total return of -3.00%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index, an index of 231 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector, returned -4.28%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index had a return of -6.01%. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares had a total return of -6.72%, while the Goldman Sachs index returned -6.09% and the S&P 500 index declined 16.15%.

Q. What factors had the greatest influence on performance during the period?

A. The investment environment was volatile for financial stocks, especially after September 11. After the terrorist attack, we tended to focus more on those companies whose earnings we had the greatest confidence in, causing us to be relatively defensive in our weightings compared to the Goldman Sachs index. This stance helped the fund's relative performance in a difficult period. The outlook for finance stocks was uncertain even before September 11. Investors worried about falling equity prices, which had a particularly noticeable impact on brokerages, as well as the possibility of eroding loan quality in a slowing economy. Although the Federal Reserve Board aggressively cut short-term interest rates throughout 2001, the market remained concerned about how long the economic downturn would last. In this challenging environment, the better-performing financial institutions tended to be those with relatively high-quality loan portfolios.

Q. What were your principal strategies?

A. As the six-month period began, the fund was positioned more aggressively to benefit from an economic rebound. For example, we emphasized brokerage stocks, whose stock prices had declined because of falling equity markets and declining investment banking business. However, these firms turned out to be vulnerable following September 11 as investors worried about continued weakness in the capital markets. We then adjusted the portfolio for more balance between cyclical companies and companies with predictable earnings. As a result, we increased the emphasis on government-related enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, transaction processors such as First Data, well-capitalized banks with quality loan portfolios and bond insurers.

Q. What effects did the losses associated with September 11 have on property-and-casualty insurance stocks?

A. The immediate effect was dramatic and negative. Investors dumped the stocks of companies they feared might be exposed to catastrophic casualty losses. However, their stock prices started to recover as investors began to distinguish between companies that would be hurt by attack-related claims and those firms with only minimal exposure. The stocks continued to rise as investors realized that the property-and-casualty industry would gain additional pricing power - meaning the ability to raise premiums - because of new awareness about the dangers of terrorism after September 11.

Q. What types of investments most influenced performance, either positively or negatively?

A. Bank One and Mercantile Bankshares, two banks that were able to deliver their financial targets in a tough environment, were positive contributors. While brokerage stocks as a group performed poorly, some companies, such as Charles Schwab and Goldman Sachs, nevertheless were positive contributors to performance. On the negative side, Household International detracted from returns. It fell because of concerns about potential deterioration in consumer credit quality. PNC Financial Services, another disappointing performer, declined because of its recent announcement that it would restate earnings due to some off-balance sheet exposures.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The economy will have a great influence on the performance of finance stocks. Despite the slump, many banks have continued to perform well, helped by declining short-term interest rates that made loans more profitable, continued strong consumer borrowing and no significant deterioration in credit quality. However, the Federal Reserve may be close to the end of its rate cuts, consumers have already started to cut their borrowing and credit problems could increase if the economy does not rebound. On the other hand, investment banks could do very well if the economy recovers and equity markets rebound.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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 all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $639,045 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $188,684 of the fund's expenses. 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 $278.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, one unaffiliated shareholder held 10% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on September 3, 1996. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long-term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund - Institutional Class on September 3, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $23,304 - a 133.04% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - an 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index, it would have grown to $25,200 - a 152.00% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Yolanda Strock, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Yolanda?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares declined 4.18%. This return underperformed the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - which fell 2.62%. However, the fund outpaced the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares declined 8.96%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs index fell 5.69% and the S&P 500 index fell 16.15%.

Q. Why did health care stocks hold up better than the broader market?

A. Generally speaking, investors felt the sector's fundamentals looked more attractive relative to other industries. More specifically, the earnings growth of health care companies historically has held up relatively well during an economic downturn compared to other industries. That said, I had expected health care stocks - particularly pharmaceutical stocks - to perform much better on an absolute basis than they actually did, given the rapid decline of the economy and using historical patterns as a guidepost.

Q. Why did drug stocks perform worse than you expected?

A. Despite continued aggressive interest rate cutting by the Federal Reserve Board, economic sentiment shifted intermittently throughout the past six months. As a result, pharmaceutical stocks suffered from what I call "fits and starts," meaning a series of ups and downs that create short-term sector volatility. Additionally, the sector grappled with a number of issues, such as high-profile drug patent expirations and some unexpected Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decisions, which compromised the growth outlook of several companies. For example, Schering-Plough tumbled after the FDA determined that the company's production facilities didn't meet certain cleanliness standards.

Q. What factors caused the fund to underperfom the Goldman Sachs index?

A. Holding a higher average biotechnology weighting was the primary reason, as a number of factors put pressure on this group. First, given the continued economic uncertainty, risk-averse investors generally weren't willing to reward companies with high earnings growth potential, including biotech names. Additionally, four major acquisitions were announced in the fourth quarter. The most significant of these was Amgen's offer to buy Immunex for $16 billion in cash and stock, marking the biggest merger ever between two biotech companies. These deals were important because they signaled that the biotech industry may be becoming mature enough to create and market their own drugs. However, given the poor economic environment, many investors questioned the timeliness of the deals and, particularly, the high premium Amgen paid for Immunex. Finally, the FDA failed to accept a drug application by ImClone Systems for its promising new colorectal cancer drug, Erbitux, causing a hangover for the entire sector.

Q. What stocks were top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Johnson & Johnson delivered an 18% rise in fourth-quarter profits on strong sales in its prescription drug and medical device businesses. Biopharmaceutical firm Gilead Sciences performed well on promising results for its hepatitis drug, Adefovir Dipivoxil, as well as high expectations for two other drugs in its pipeline. On the down side, after health care distributor Cardinal Health's stock price appreciation in 2001, investors took profits in the stock due to slowing same-store sales at some of its larger retail pharmacy customers. Bristol-Myers Squibb, which earlier in the period bought a $2 billion stake in future profits of ImClone's Erbitux, was hurt by negative sentiment when the drug stumbled in its FDA approval process.

Q. What's your outlook for the health care sector, Yolanda?

A. If there's an economic recovery in 2002, the health care sector - given its stable growth history and the economic sensitivity built into other sectors - may have a difficult time matching the performance of the broader market. On the other hand, if the economy continues to plod along without improvement, health care stocks could continue to perform relatively well in comparison to other areas of the market.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Health Care

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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:

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $976,104 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $138,574 of the fund's expenses. 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 $556.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' prior 0.65% 12b-1 fee. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare Institutional Class' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 108 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resource sector. Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund - Institutional Class on January 31, 1992. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $30,554 - a 205.54% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $33,899 - a 238.99% increase. (The Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index does not extend as far back as the fund's start date, and therefore cannot be used for this comparison.)

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Scott Offen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Scott?

A. For the six-month period that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares declined 7.16%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - an index of 108 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector - fell 10.26%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -9.91%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -15.26% and -16.15%, respectively.

Q. Why did the natural resources sector lag the overall market during the six-month period?

A. Falling commodity prices stemming from a sluggish economy - further weakened by the 9/11 attacks - were to blame. Energy, by far the sector's largest industry component, led the downturn as slackening global demand and growing supply pressure caused oil inventories to rise and prices to decline by more than 27% during the period - nearing two-year lows. OPEC - the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries - cut production in September and January in an effort to stem the decline. However, uncertainty surrounding the January cut, coupled with skepticism about the enforcement of supporting production cuts from nonmember countries such as Russia, kept oil prices from rebounding. Sagging demand due to economic and weather factors teamed with mounting supply from a couple of big finds in Canada to sack natural gas prices, which finished the period down nearly 80% from their peak in 2001 even after snapping back in recent months. While energy stocks benefited late in the year from renewed enthusiasm about a potential economic recovery in 2002, a continued weak pricing environment for oil and the sector's more defensive nature caused them to trail the gains registered by more cyclically sensitive areas. Stocks within the other natural resources industries - including metals and minerals - tend to be cyclically oriented and, thus, responded well to the prospects for recovery.

Q. Why did the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs benchmark?

A. Strong stock picking in energy was the key to our success relative to the index. We benefited the most from limiting our exposure to lagging utilities, most notably energy trader Enron, whose rapid demise dragged down most other related companies in the index, such as Dynegy. Overweighting energy services and equipment stocks, particularly oil and gas drillers, also aided performance. These groups bounced back from a major sell-off early in the period on expectations that a pick-up in the economy would lead to increased spending on energy production. ENSCO and BJ Services were notable contributors here. I remained bullish on services firms that were leveraged to oil, based on the long-term need for the U.S. to build new oil supplies - outside of OPEC - due to under-investment in recent years. Having ample exposure to the major integrated oil companies also proved wise. While these firms suffered from lower oil prices and the market rotation away from more-defensive, less-cyclical businesses, stocks such as Phillips Petroleum and ChevronTexaco benefited from the tremendous cost savings expected from industry consolidation. Elsewhere, the fund's emphasis on aluminum stocks paid off, as did a small out-of-benchmark stake in chemicals, which I have since sold off.

Q. What moves dampened results?

A. It really was more of a story of what we didn't own. We lost ground to the Goldman Sachs index by remaining underexposed to natural gas exploration and production stocks such as Apache, which staged a rally in the fourth quarter. While I was surprised at their strong performance, I felt it unlikely to continue given my bearish near-term outlook for gas prices based on continued weak demand and high levels of inventory that could take some time to deplete. Underweighting gold stocks also hurt, as jittery equity investors looked for a place to hide in a bear market. Pricing erosion hampered our holdings in paper and forest products, including Georgia-Pacific. Oil services giant Halliburton disappointed due to unfavorable asbestos litigation against it. Several stocks mentioned in this report were no longer held at the close of the period.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I remain optimistic about energy stocks, thanks to a favorable long-term trend in the supply/demand balance for oil and natural gas. The outlook for oil stocks, unlike natural gas, has improved of late with the economy showing some signs of life and OPEC following through with additional production cuts, which could lead us back to above-average pricing levels. I'm still positive on the integrated oil companies because they're running their businesses better and, therefore, I feel they deserve higher valuations.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $306,151 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $95,455 of the fund's expenses. 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 $299.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class shares' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on September 3, 1996. You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund - Institutional Class on September 3, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,204 - a 102.04% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - a 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Technology Index, it would have grown to $21,150 - a 111.50% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Effective February 15, 2002, after the period covered by this report, Sonu Kalra became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund.

Q. How did the fund perform, Sonu?

A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -9.55%, trailing the -7.52% return of the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 230 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -6.01%. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -36.46%, compared to the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes, which returned -38.71% and -16.15%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund underperform its benchmarks during the period?

A. The past six months encompassed two very different environments. From the first week in August through September 21, technology share prices declined dramatically, as the economy continued to weaken and the markets absorbed the shock of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The fund lost considerable ground on the S&P 500 during this time because the index was cushioned to some extent by its broad diversification. In late September, partly in response to the Federal Reserve Board's aggressive easing of monetary policy, the broader market began a rally that carried through the end of the year. Technology stocks spearheaded this rally, and the fund was able to close much of the performance gap separating it from the S&P 500. An overweighting in Microsoft substantially helped our performance in the fourth quarter of 2001, but had essentially a neutral impact for the entire period under review. In terms of the Goldman Sachs index, while we benefited from our increased emphasis on several strong performing mid-cap semiconductor stocks during the period, we were hurt even more by our exposure to the underperforming telecommunications equipment group.

Q. What was the attraction of mid-cap semiconductor stocks?

A. Semiconductors are a very cyclical industry, and they were due for a recovery. The former portfolio managers were beginning to see signs that the inventory correction that caused revenues in the industry to tail off would soon work itself out. When they looked at the universe of semiconductor stocks, the mid-cap space had the most attractive valuations compared with expected growth rates.

Q. Can you discuss your management philosophy?

A. Sure. I run the fund with a decidedly bottom-up orientation, getting to know each holding extremely well. For me, that means talking with suppliers and customers in addition to company management. I like to see strong market position, accelerating growth rates and improving profit margins, among other factors. I also have fairly strict sell criteria because no matter how good a company is, there is a valuation point at which its stock is no longer a good investment.

Q. Which stocks helped performance?

A. NVIDIA was the holding that made the most positive contribution. The graphics microprocessor manufacturer performed well on the strength of several promising new products, including the chip that runs Microsoft's new video game console, the Xbox. IBM also was a notable contributor. In our conversations with the company's customers, we determined that it was gaining market share in many of its business lines. Furthermore, IBM posted relatively strong earnings in a year when most technology companies had extremely disappointing earnings. Storage software stock VERITAS was another holding that aided performance, as storage of electronic information suddenly became a much higher priority after September 11.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. Motorola was the biggest detractor. We bought the stock because we had confidence that the company's restructuring program would rejuvenate earnings growth. However, Motorola's wireless handset sales were lower than expected due to slowing growth in the wireless market. Sun Microsystems suffered from a depressed market for its Unix servers, and we sold the stock. Memory chipmaker Micron Technology encountered pricing pressure for its products due to increased competition, while optical networking equipment provider CIENA felt the brunt of the telecom slump.

Q. What's your outlook, Sonu?

A. Although the long-term outlook for technology stocks is favorable, over the short term a weak economy and generally rich valuations could limit upside progress in the sector. In this challenging environment, I believe stock selection will assume an even greater importance than usual. Given the cyclical nature of many technology companies, those that can benefit from the "sweet spot" of product development cycles should be especially attractive. Finding such companies will be a primary area of emphasis for me. With 45 analysts worldwide who devote their full-time efforts to the technology industry, Fidelity has the resources to uncover opportunities that are often missed by other investors.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions. For more information, see page 2.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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,which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $1,906,248 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent 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.

Performance

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

You can compare Institutional Class shares' returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 119 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. Issues in the index include generators and distributors of electricity, distributors of natural gas and water, and providers of telecommunications services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Fund - Institutional Class on September 3, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $16,742 - a 67.42% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $18,664 - a 86.64% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index, it would have grown to $14,550 - a 45.50% increase.

The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund Talk: The Managers' Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)
(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: The following is an interview with Tim Cohen (left), who managed Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Fund during the period covered by this report, with additional comments from Shep Perkins (right), who became Portfolio Manager of the fund on February 6, 2002.

Q. How did the fund perform, Tim?

T.C. Telecommunications and utilities stocks continued to struggle. For the six months ending January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -17.37%. During the same period, the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index-an index of 119 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector-declined 18.19%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -6.01%. For the 12 months ending January 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -26.32%, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -29.06% and -16.15%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs index but lag the S&P 500 during the six-month period?

T.C. Favorable stock selection among electric utilities and integrated telecom service providers helped the fund versus the Goldman Sachs index. The fund also benefited from overweighting the latter group, as the regional Bell operating companies, or RBOCs, did not decline as much during the period as the stocks of alternative carriers. Another positive influence on performance compared with the Goldman Sachs index was an underweighting and strong stock selection in the wireless services segment. While wireless stocks remained in the doldrums, the fund's emphasis on small regional carriers and avoidance of the largest providers were timely. On the negative side, an overweighted position in global independent power producer AES detracted significantly from performance compared with the index in September, when the company issued an earnings warning and its share price was cut in half in a single day. Relative to the S&P 500, the fund suffered from its concentration in two of the broader market's weakest groups during the period - telecommunications and utilities.

Q. Did the fund's positioning change significantly during the period?

T.C. The fund's basic positioning remained intact. Power prices suffered their first cyclical downturn of the deregulated era, and I continued to emphasize traditional electric utilities with significant dividend yields, strong management and minimal exposure to the unregulated power market. In wireline telecommunications, the weak economy and lack of financing for new projects caused me to remain focused on companies with an established customer base, low debt and strong cash flow. In the wireless communications area, intense competition, slowing subscriber growth and rich valuations plagued many pure wireless plays. I therefore favored wireless tower stocks and smaller, regional players that were capable of offering integrated packages of wireless and wireline services.

Q. What stocks helped the fund's performance?

T.C. Southern Company, the fund's strongest contributor, was a good example of a well-run conventional utility that weathered the volatile market environment during the period fairly well. FirstEnergy, Entergy, Ameren and TXU were other electric utilities that made positive contributions to the fund's performance.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

T.C. AES, mentioned earlier, was the biggest detractor. The company attributed its earnings shortfall to a lack of new acquisition opportunities, weakness in Brazil's currency and a decline in United Kingdom power prices. The stock is now a smaller part of the fund. Qwest Communications was another detractor, hampered by disappointing third-quarter results and lowered expectations for future earnings and revenues. RBOCs Verizon and SBC Communications did not suffer big declines but the fund's large positions in them hurt its performance. Finally, the story of energy trading firm Enron is well known to most investors, but suffice it to say I was shocked at the speed of the company's fall from grace. In retrospect, I wish I had sold Enron sooner, but the situation could have been much worse.

Q. Turning to you, Shep, what's your outlook?

S.P. The Federal Reserve Board's aggressive lowering of short-term interest rates succeeded in reversing the broader market's decline at the end of the third quarter. In the telecom sector, share prices of equipment companies were helped by indications that demand was finally starting to draw down inventories. However, I believe that even if some parts of the economy begin to strengthen, the supply and demand characteristics of the telecommunications and power utility markets make it unlikely that we will see a dramatic improvement there over the near term. I am therefore comfortable with the fund's defensive positioning.

Telecommunications & Utilities Growth

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

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 is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. 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.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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 under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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.

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 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 paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer 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

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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 $411,423 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 are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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. Additional information regarding security lending is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

7. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $98,047 of the fund's expenses. 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 $134.

8. Distributions to Shareholders.
