For the most part, this was a pretty good movie. The atmosphere was good, there are some really good scenes at the beginning and the end including a great piece of animation for the story of the deathly hallows.

The only real issue was the pacing, and it was a big one. The middle of this movie slows to a crawl as the characters spend a great deal of time doing pretty much nothing.

I'm reasonably convinced that there is no artistic reason why Deathly Hallows needed to be two movies. They've converted longer Harry Potter books into movies just fine. The fact of the matter is, this was done so the studio can sell you two tickets and I think the actual movie suffers as a result.

But of course, if you're a fan of the series, then you've seen this movie already. But for the rest of you, this is probably the weakest in the series, second two the Prisoner of Azkaban which is a movie that doesn't really work for no clear reason.
