David Yates has truly outdone himself this time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 continues the trend of one-upping the previous movie. It has all the necessary elements for a great movie. There are thrilling action scenes, suspense filled moments that actually make you jump, and the beginnings of a wonderful romance. This movie is notably darker than any of the other previous Harry Potter movies. This suits the movie very well, and helps it maintain a closer relationship with the book than previous movies were capable of. On top of being darker than previous Harry Potter movies, Deathly Hallows: Part 1 also provided significantly more powerful and moving moments. The fight between Ron and Harry truly made me upset (had I not already read the book I might have been in shambles at that scene). The dancing scene between Harry and Hermione was another excellent scene that helped show the great bonds of friendship they shared. Lastly, the death of Tobby brought a tear to most people's eyes. It again demonstrated just how powerful friendship can be. On top of more powerful and moving scenes, there were more scenes that were, for lack of a better term, more awesome! The seven Harry Potters scene was a beauty to behold and the chase scene shortly after was great as well. The movie was great and the ending was quite the cliff hanger. My only comlain is that I will have to wait until July to see the second part. I would strongly recommend Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to anyone.
