Deathly Hallows Part 1 followed the storyline fairly well. (not as detailed as the book of course!) This movie seemed to be primarily character development. It definitely dragged and dragged and dragged. Despite the slow pace I enjoyed the movie. The funny parts were very funny and I enjoyed seeing the small details in the background scenes--especially all the the houses visited. I think everyone should see it at least once on the big screen for the effects.....but wait for the Dvd for your 2nd viewing. We all should expect an action packed Part 2 Ending...Have fun watching! Previews before were awesome as well!
