I went into this experience with high expectations and I must say every one of them was not only met, but far surpassed. From the opening credits to the astonishing end I was in awe the whole two and a half hours I was in the theater. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One is the most intriguing film I have seen all year, and quite possibly the best. I felt that it did the series justice and personally believe it deserves Oscar regcognition... Especially the performance of miss Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) for she was unbelievable. This is the most intense HP movie there is, and also the most emotional. GO SEE IT... whether you enjoyed the books or not, whether you enjoyed the movie adaptations or not, whether you know anything about the story... This movie is a true masterpiece... and it is only the beginning of the end. BRAVO!!!
