The exclusion of Hogwarts and the gestapo undertones sends the clear message that the lightheartedness of previous installments are history. Because I read the book, I knew what to expect, which was a movie strong in drama and character development and relatively light in action. Another thing for readers to appreciate is that, due to the two parts, very little from the book had to be cut for time. Overall, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is nothing short of satisfying to a devoted fan like me and does the job of getting the tingles going for part 2 in July.
