Deathly Hallows, Part 1 is by far and away the best Potter film to date. For those who are true Potter fans, this is definitely the most satisfying and the most faithful adaptation. The adjustments they make are minor, and actually better serve the film and it's purpose; to start the process of saying goodbye, and to set up the final movie. The chemistry between the three - Harry, Ron, and Hermione - has never been better. The same can be said for their acting skills. I was impressed by how far they have come. There was not one awkward moment. I know to some, not having Hogwarts as a background for their exploits is hard to deal with, as well as having our three out on their own with no one but each other to lean on, but it's definitely necessary to show the desperate state their world is in. Hogwarts will return in the next one (with a vengeance!), and I am sure it will be just as epic as this one is. As soon as the movie ended, I wanted to rewind and watch again (I'm seeing it again today). This movie is likely to become an instant classic. There is so much to love in this movie - the drama, the action, the light-hearted moments, the intensity, and the moments of reflection - that I think anyone would enjoy watching it.
