First off, it was a great idea to bust this movie in 2. For one, it helped to wrap up all the possible plots and stories. Two, it gives us just a few more hours to enjoy the last of Harry Potter. I thought Half Blood Prince, though good, was slow and boring, not really picking up until the end. Deathly Hollows Pt. 1 is strong on action, suspense, drama and characterization. The scenery is dark and the mood is very dim. But the movie does have its moments of humor. All and all though, it sets up what is expected to be the greatest wizard battle we have ever seen. I can't wait!
