Harry and Hermoine are making out (without their shirts on!). Lord Voldemort and his minions are exterminating non-believers!
Is this Harry Potter movie directed by Quentin Tarantino?
Daniel Radcliffe is back as Harry Potter, and the ultimate battle is afoot. Evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is intent on finding the young wizard as quickly as possible, while Harry, Hermoine (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) must find the horcruxes that contain pieces of Voldemort's soul, so they can destroy him and save all of humanity.
Can good defeat evil?
Will anything happen?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the weakest of the Harry Potter movies and feels more like a video game than an amazing Hollywood adventure, but it's still better than most movies out there.
Instead of advancing the story, the trio has to progress from place to place capturing the horcruxes, while also collecting other weapons to be used in the ultimate battle. Writer Steve Kloves (based on the novels by J.K. Rowling) doesn't want to focus on advancing the story, exposing the emotions these kids face and the horrible task of maturing before their time. Maybe the characters have gone as far as they can, but that reveals the biggest problem with the movie.
Director David Yates still gives us some good action sequences and plenty of comic moments to lighten the mood, but most of this movie feels like a prologue to Part 2, instead of a stand alone adventure. Most of the developments feel like they might have some special meaning in Part 2, but do they make Part 1 special? Memorable?
It still delivers what fans expect just not what we need to blow our minds.
(2 ½ Waffles Out of 4)
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality.

Wow, that's funny. I thought this was the darkest and most emotionally satisfying film in the series and probably the best. To each his own.
I have to agree with Eric, I thought that this was the most artfully crafted Potter movie. Yates' choice to take his time with the story and truly follow the book so closely was satisfying and, from what I felt and from the words of those around me, Mind Blowing.
I wont say it was sucky but to me, it wasnt the best either.
Personally, this film was probably the worst for me, maybe 5 being an exception.
I was expecting certain parts of the book to be shown and acted really well and a state of panic, none of that was shown in the movie. The director did stuff in a completely different way and also made up some stuff.
He also portrayed character emotions with the wrong characters, like it was meant to be hermoine and ron bickering for a lot of it and then harry arguing with ron, and also when hermoine snapped his wand, that was acted really poorly,
2/10 for me, atleast i still have the book hey.
People keep talking about the book. The averge movie person does not care about the book. Maybe 1 out of a 1000 movie goers read the book. I loved all the movies. But this movie was terriable.
