The fact that the final book was broken into two parts upsets me like no other. It's not even the longest book in the Harry Potter series!

Disclaimer: I never grew up on the Harry Potter series nor have I read the books. So my review may be biased.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is basically a drag and a setup for the final film. People now have to watch this so they can understand what transpired before the final film. Instead of combining Part 1 & 2 for a larger finale, it was decided to squeeze the series for a bit more cash.

The end result of the above process is a film with a few interesting parts and a ton of filler. There's a lot of drag in this one that could have been cut out.

Of course, as usual with Potterverse films, there's action, comedy, etc. But this film awkwardly transitions from months at a time to days. The pacing is all off and a mess.

.5/5. Removed extra for the unnecessary filler and the fact that this wasn't combined with Part 2 for a single film. Though, I did love Dobby.
