i am a Harry Potter book fan and I was a bit skeptical about the last book movie adaptation. The book is long and very complex therefore splitting it in two movies was a great idea to start with. The first part of the deathly hallows book is pretty slow with a lot of descriptions and sub-stories and the major action is happening in the second part of the book. However, the movie Deathly Hallows part one has a right balance of action and narrative. It does get a bit slow and dramatic at times, but it all balances out with witty humor and unexpected thriller scenes.... the director, the screenwriter , the actors , the overall tone of the move , everything just seems perfect and very well done .... good job.... I am looking forward the second part ... even for non harry potter book fans the movie will be entertaining...
