Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I is the most mature of the series to date. The characters are more developed and the story compelling. This movie isn't as dark as others yet the story and times are quite stormy for the characters. The trio of protagonists have matured and face the challenges with humor and bravery. The movie's pace is brisk despite that there is no unusual or noteworthy special effects. It is a cohesive stand alone story despite that is it only one half of the final book in the series. The magic world of Harry Potter remains gripping and leaves the audience wanting more. There are one or two snake scenes that could leave younger viewers traumatized. Excellent and highly recommended.
