We've seen them all. Felt the filming techniques were very poorly done. Camera work was jerky. So many flashes of scenes allows the director to save a lot of money. With the amount of money this series has made, it could have been much better filmed & developed. Very jerky effects.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Loved watching Hermione, Harry and Ron outside of the "usual" environment.. it's interesting to see how the characters have evolved as well as the film style. David Yates did a great job. Although I do agree with the Critics' review..they packed the latest in fall fashion, sometimes it made me feel they were at an Old Navy ad.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was very happy with this movie--dark and adult with some great scenes and scenery. I was able to follow it from beginning to end (middle) with no problem. This is in big contrast to the Half Blood Prince, which still needs to be explained. There were a few dragging moments where I think some prudent film editing might have helped and the movie did sort of end abruptly, although it does have the cliff-hanging effect of leaving the viewer very interested in what happens next. Well worth the watching.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have been very impressed so far with all the Harry Potter movies. I read all the books and it's usually hard to watch a movie after reading the book but they've done a pretty good job at staying true to the books. At first I was upset that they were doing #7 in 2 parts but now I'm glad because otherwise they would have cut too much out. This was prob the best movie so far I cant wait for the next one. Not a great movie for small children though my 4 yr old was scared during a couple parts and a little bored at times but my 8 yr old loved it and is still talking about it :) it was a great movie def worth seeing again!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Slow dark and boring. They should not have gone for the money and finished the series in one movie. This movie is only good if you are a potter fan otherwise you'd have no idea what is going on because it does not stand alone. We don't need to watch them siton the top of a mountain and read for 5 minutes we get it. And we don't need to watch them moon over each other over and over we get it we get it!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Overall, I was happy with the movie. They didn’t butcher it horribly, as others have done in the past. There were a few things I would have liked to have seen, but you can’t always get what you want, according to the rolling stones. Watching this I was reminded again at how young all these players were at the start. Seeing them now is a real treat. As always the three leads have a wonderful chemistry between them. Hubby and I are looking forward to the next one with great expectation.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The acting was fine and the setting and tone of the movie was delightfully dark and spooky. However, I would recommend reading the books first because unless you have, it's rather hard to follow. In fairness, it is difficult to condense a novel into a 90 minute or 2 hour movie.
I've enjoyed the Harry Potter movies for the most part, but I do like the books better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have been reading the series for the first time and at the time of going to see this movies I was only halfway through the sixth book. I went with my girlfriend who is a hardcore Harry Potter Fanatic and WB should have been nervous seeing her walk into this movie. Movies are made to draw in audiences and they don't need to explain every single aspect of the movie. Now that said there were things that I can see now that had gone unsaid. The movie was still intriguing from start to finish and stayed true to the plot of the book and it was great to see some of those elements in the book come to life. It will be sad to see the series come to a close but it will also be rewarding to those who have stuck with the series for so long.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I often wish that movies could be exactly like the books. Unfortunately, if they could we would at the movie theater all day. Putting that aside, I thought this was a fair representation. It was a rush through the first half, with a few changes. Still, it was excellent viewing, enjoyable to see the characters come to life again. I can't wait to see the second half. It will be bitter sweet.

Harry Potter is one of those few movies that people have been growing up with over the decade. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow is the first movie that i have seen twice without being draged to it because it was so amazing. It was really long though, so that is another reson i saw it twice. The first time it felt like it would never end. The second time around it felt to fast. Ether way, Harry Potter was one of the best movies all year.

Not all of the movies have been worthy of this book series, although that may be an insurmountable obstacle anyway, but I've loved all of them and they've gotten better with each one that has come out. This one is by far the best and it was a roller coaster ride just as the book was. Bring your own seat belt, you're going to need it.

This was more true to the book and i love how the actors truly put themselves into the world of HP, not simply just reading lines. I would watch this again in a heartbeat!If you have never seen HP this will make you want to start from the beginning to see what you have missed out on. As they grew so did the story.

I really like this one. The special effects are very good. When Mafalda turned into the snake it was impresive. The only thing that I would have liked to see was the death of Wormtail. It is not clear if he was stunt or killed. Besides that, the rest was good. Eventhought his part on this one was short I think Tom Felton was very good expressing Draco Malfoy's internal struggle around Voldemort and Harry.

Beyond the familiar stone walls of Hogwarts, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger find themselves coming of age in a splintered world- very much in danger, and very much on their own.
Deathly Hallows, Part 1 does not disappoint. This is a legitimately adult movie, wrought with tragedy, humor, romance, and action of a more sophisticated breed.
Like the film's raw and rugged heros, Deathly Hallows sheds itself of silliness and mediocrity common amongst its graceless and pubescent previous films, and finds itself re-emerged as a matured and rather dashing piece of work. This franchise, as close to the final bow as Harry himself, has filled out nicely.
Subtle nuance and well-choreographed editing offer the audience fluidity and expectancy, and through emotional poignancy delivers an endearing and enthralling first act to the conclusion of the simple story about a boy with a lightening-shaped scar.
There will be no more Scooby-Dooesque mysteries to be solved in this hapless place. Urgency and circumstance, nail-biting anxiety, glorious suspense, and toe-curling anticipation enhance an eager pace as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) come into their own within the grim suburbs of the Wizarding World.
With eloquence and refreshing grit the film tears from scene to scene, making an enjoyable emotional juggle between laughter and bitter sadness, trudging forward to the inevitable and exciting climax awaiting in its finale. Instead of being burdened by tediousness or sagging beneath its own self-awareness, Deathly Hallows marches onward with a charming disposition even when the plot turns dismally sour, adding bite to a gloomy tale.
Death and grief consequently add an odd sense of reality to the fantastical plot, breathing new life into this contemporary magical legend. You begin to see and feel and understand their struggles from a new and surreal perspective, where events and characters pass before you as if you were witnessing the pages of a quirky, vivid, and altogether familiar mythology turn ever-closer to an end.
A kaleidoscope of well-known characters offers a colorful cast of students with whom we've grown up since they were first years. In a way, the absurd happiness of youth takes good riddance as Harry's young game of cat-and-mouse becomes an awful, winding maze of tangible peril; in a way the heightened risk marks a sense of exhileration and daring for Harry and the gang.
But no matter how playful a situation in which he finds himself, Harry can't help but realize that the inconsequential, dear moments are fleeting, that solace and peace can never again be found on the horizon, until he finally comes face-to-face with the wickedly formidable Voldemort.
Yes, this movie is long. Two and a half hours long, to be exact- and if you are neither willing nor physically capable of sitting in a theatre seat for this amount of time, save your money.
Yes, this movie is also depressing. If you don't like it, then you've clearly never read the books. Deathly Hallows employs a long, intricate, and involved storyline, and the movie does not water it down merely for the whims of a few who find the plot exhausting. Doing so would annihilate the integrity of the original novel- the idea that not all is good and easy and simple in the world, that there is struggle, and that it is real and absolute. Complain to J.K Rowling if you have such an aversion to this intolerable notion.
If you are not a true fan, or even just a casual fair-weather fan, then do the rest of us a great big fat favor and don't watch Deathly Hallows. And if you, semi-interested moviegoer, do indeed decide to watch this film, critique this film, and loathe this film...then keep it to yourself.
Because let's face it: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the beginning of the end for millions of dedicated, sentimental Potter-lovers who've stuck loyally with this series since 1997, and your inane babel about tedium and film length is only petty and useless griping.
...A rotten cherry on top of a beautifully crafted cake.
So for those of you who have qualms, you’ll be relieved and utterly delighted to know that these filmmakers hadn’t the slightest bit of interest in pleasing you. This Harry Potter film, like the eagerly awaited Part 2, is a beast fashioned with its die-hard fans in mind.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My Dad (77 yrs. old) and I (50 yrs.old) went to see this together last week. We both really enjoyed the movie. Other than the very first HP, the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is our favorite in the series so far. It is very well done and went by so fast! We both audibly groaned when the movie ended. We can't wait for Part II!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It left you wandering what is going to happen in the second half of the movie. It shows you how much Harmonie cares about Ron when he leaves her and Harry alone in the woods.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

When I finished reading "The Deathly Hallows," I "knew" Harry and Company were all grown up. It just hadn't settled in. Seeing Harry and Company, especially Hermione, almost all grown up, WOW! The movie itself dragged in several places as it tried to take advantage of spectacular scenery to gather its thoughts. Earlier "Harry" movies have had some of the same problems (Thank you, Family Channel, for immersing us in Harry Potter all weekend), but not to this extent. I think the movie was trying too hard to be "adult and contemplative" here. The "brief sexuality" added nothing and should not have been added. A simpler kiss scene, with hints of what was shown, would have been far more effective. Overall, a good addition to the Harry Potter lineup, and worth the ticket price - once.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
