Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 was far and away the best adaptation of a Harry Potter book to date. As a fan of the books, I have been dissappointed in the last few efforts- I enjoyed the movies, but couldn't compare them to the books without getting irritated. This film, however, is not only a great telling of the book, but stands as an all around good movie.
I wouldn't take a young child to see it because of some scarier elements, but it is a great film for older kids and adults alike.
