Harry Potter fans around the world should be proud of the actors and directors of the film "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1". Each actor gave his or her best performance ever, and the actual movie, with all of its effects, was fantastic. While other Potter movies may have deviated from the book's storyline on major parts, "Deathly Hallows" stayed true to the author's original work on all major plot points, only missing some very minor details. The movie was fast-paced for the most part, only slowing down at times when it is supposed to be slow, such as the days and months of running that Harry, Ron, and Hermione must endure while staying hidden from Lord Voldemort's trackers. This is the best installment of the Potter movie series since the "Sorcerer's Stone," and the build-up for the second part left watchers excited, but not feeling as if they were left a missing something. I highly recommend this movie to any Potter fans. However, if you have not read the books, or at least seen the other six movies, I would advise that you sit this one out, simply to avoid the confusion you would inevitably feel.
