I found Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 to be a beautiful film and the cast did a wonderul job (as usual). Having said that, a downside to the film is the camping scenes, however it also dragged in the book. I was hoping that the "film makers" would cut into the camping scenes and offer a look at what was happening outside of the three, just to break it up a bit. Overall, it was well done and stuck to the story line with few liberties, although there were some important events/simple things that could have been shown or said to help those who hadn't read the books follow along a bit better. Overall it was a great film and I will most likely head back to the theaters and see it again.
