Reviews
Boxoffice Magazine - The film might have ended at its action-packed and ultimately moving climax, but screenwriter Steve Kloves goes one step farther. He finds the perfect cliffhanger, one that emphasizes just how dangerous young Mr. Potter's situation really is and definitely leaves the audience anxious for the next chapter., Chicago Reader - The seventh and penultimate entry in the franchise jettisons the humour and fizz of the earlier movies for a much bleaker adult tone., Film4 - An unfamiliar new setting does little to diminish the humour, heart and excitement of the Harry Potter franchise on form., Radio Times - [S]tunning set pieces and a beautifully animated segment., Film 4 - An unfamiliar new setting does little to diminish the humour, heart and excitement of the Harry Potter franchise on form., New Orleans Times-Picayune - Boasting a rich look and an engrossing storyline, it's the rare "to-be-continued" film that doesn't leave its audience feeling cheated., Daily Telegraph - The action romps along, spurred by some impressive special effects. We have watched these three growing up and their performances have never been betterà, New York Times - Deathly Hallows: Part 1 finds notes of anxious suspense and grave emotion to send its characters, and its fans, into the last round.

Additional Information
The first instalment of the two-film adaptation of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS follows Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) as they search for the pieces of Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) soul that he extracted from his being and hid in obscure locations both far and wide. DEATHLY HALLOWS is a far cry from its predecessors where kindly magicians and fantastical shops exist in a seemingly utopian community. HarryÆs world evolves into a more realistic picture of a world that, while enchanted, carries its own share of bigotry, greed, and political corruption. Traces of wide-eyed innocence are gone from Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson). They are isolated from the world; frustrated at their lack of progress; doubtful, for the first time, of the task they were entrusted with by Dumbledore; and trying, not always successfully, to keep despair at bay.
For if the trio are unable to locate and destroy each piece of VoldermortÆs soul, he will remain forever immortal. Despite their long friendship, a combination of dark forces, romantic tensions, and long-held secrets threaten to sabotage the mission. As the story of the Deathly Hallows unfolds, chronicling the tale of three brothers whose run-in with Death itself brought about consequences that would reverberate for many years afterward, the cliff-hanger ending leaves will undoubtedly leave fans in eager anticipation of a second act that will continue on as beautifully as the first. David Yates once again helms a stellar cast featuring some of the finest performers of their generations.
