Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

This is my favorite movie in the series. It’s probably the most different, as none of it takes place in Hogwarts, and it features Harry, Ron, and Hermione out fending for themselves in the wilderness.

This isn’t just good because it’s something different and new, but it also goes to show the tremendous vulnerability of our heroes.

Plus it makes great use of some wonderful locations including the Yorkshire Dales.

The pacing is a bit slower, but the characters are more interesting than they’ve ever been.

Rating: 8/10
