Summary Review:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is by far the best Harry Potter film to date and has finally managed to capture the addictive tone of the books.

Synopsis:
I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter books, but I’ve found all the movies thus far to be boring and disappointing. Until I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, that is.

Lord Voldemort is now out in the open and the whole wizarding world lives in fear, knowing he has returned. Harry, Ron and Hermione are the only ones who know that the only way to defeat him is to destroy all his Horcruxes.

So, instead of packing off to Hogwarts for their 7th and final school year, they embark on an expedition to uncover and kill the Horcruxes.

Although there are a few new characters and scenes in the movie that were not in the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is more faithful to the book than any of the previous movies were. This is testament to the fact that J.K. Rowling worked closely with the film makers and was a producer on this movie.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is not only a great reflection of the book; it is a good movie in and of itself.

Directed by David Yates, who also directed the 5th and 6th films, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is beautifully filmed, with impressive special effects and cinematography.

Truly dark, with several tense moments that will keep you at the edge of your seat, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 creates moments for one to really connect with the characters, as well as incorporating the humour and danger of the book.
