The Harry Potter movies are addictive, once you see one, you can't wait for the next one! I was a little concerned about some of the facts being flipped in chronological order from the book, but in the end I was extremely satisfied the way the movie fit them all together leading into the finale. Some of the loose ends from the previous movies are tied up nicely as well. The evidence that the quality of every Potter movie has held up to the test of time is in the packed theaters every time a new one comes out. I will go back and see it again and again as long as it is in the theater simply because I can't get enough of it and can't wait until it comes out on DVD. I feel like these characters are a part of my family because I've watched them grow up. We have watched the Potter movies so many times and they still evoke strong emotions even when I know what is going to happen next. Deathly Hollows part 1 continues the tradition of this series and brings the characters close to your heart once again. I do have to admit that when the snake came at Harry it made me jump and yell, just like most everybody else who was in the theater. LOVED IT!
Very, very close to the book. This is a great movie that really lives up to the first part. Absolutely no disappointment, it hit and exceeded my expectations all the way through! Especially the characters Edward, Bella & Jacob. They played their characters in an entirely believable way without over-acting their parts. Can't wait to see the next one!
