Although I am biased in my opinion of the film (I am now 20 years old and have been reading the Harry Potter series since it debuted when I was 8 years old), I can objectively say that this is by far the most entertaining, emotionally engrossing, and intense Harry Potter film to date. The acting is top-notch, the cinematography and locales are beautiful, and the tone is appropriately dark. While the abrupt end of the film may not be satisfying to some (since the story wasn't necessarily designed to be split into parts, although I praise director David Yates and the rest of the team for doing so), the overall quality of the film is not diminished whatsoever. I can hardly comprehend how amazing Part 2 will be, considering Part 1 is only a prelude to the true finale. Do yourself a favor and go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1. You'll be glad you did.
