David Yates returns to the command of the adaptation of this final book of the wizard with the mark on the forehead. In a clear evolution, Yates led the Order of the Phoenix praised and held an even better job in Half-Blood Prince, which has accredited an unquestionable way for this last adventure. With a book of nearly 600 pages to adapt and to be by far the most detailed, producers David Heyman and David Baron decided that not to suppress important parts to the narrative, the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be split into two films. They were shot simultaneously, with the first part being released on November 19, 2010 and the second on July 15, 2011.

The screenwriter Steve Kloves - who wrote all the film adaptations, except Order of the Phoenix - to be informed of the division into two movies made an excellent start to the end. In Deathly Hallows there are no subplots unnecessary and absolutely everything is extremely important for the final conclusion. Kloves has no hurry to develop in nearly two and a half hours Projection everything that matters in the work of JK Rowling. Kloves inserts many scenes of reflection of the characters and passages of conversation between them further strengthen their relationship over the months that get together that difficult journey.

The first part is slower, supported on runways and in the long run for months found by the protagonists, while the second focuses on the action, the great final battle, having a climate more apocalyptic. According to author JK Rowling revealed itself, more than any other book in the series, the last volume is a continuation of the unfinished stories in book six. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the longer books in the entire series and in it there are several references to other books and films in the series, including character doing and saying goodbye to revisit places that were part of other years of Harry's life, so the ideal is that those who watch this film has read the books or seen the movies, otherwise the view will be severely degraded.

Following the notorious technical evolution of the series, The Deathly Hallows has the best effects of the series. It is important to point that this is the only movie that Industrial Light & Magic did not participate in the visual effects. The effects, Oscar nominated and BAFTA are faultless. From the aerial, as the first appearance of Snape in Voldemort's headquarters, or scenes like the scene of the Seven Potter (Daniel Radcliffe that had to do about 90 takes for this one scene); battles and escape the streets skies and tunnels of London, recreating even better elves Kreacher and Dobby, the effects of the horcrux shortly before his detsruição by Ron and the capture of the trio that is brought to the home of great fights Malfoy in the headquarters. The art direction Oscar nominated once again made by Stuart Craig, is divine. No Hogwarts present this first, the challenge was to create various scenarios and achieve many other outdoor locations for filming. The scenes outside of Malfoy Manor, for example, were filmed at Hardwick Hall, one of the most luxurious villas of Queen Elizabeth. Moreover, we have the sets forests and cliffs where the trio takes refuge, the wedding venue of Bill and Fleur, a redesign of the abandoned headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix and the expansion of various scenarios of the Ministry of Magic, alleys and streets of London the Lovegood house. Some details are subtle but make the difference in a great job, for example, to bring the office of Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) as dark as the rest of the Ministry, but still exhibiting many of the decorative objects that were in his room Hogwarts. The BAFTA nominated makeup, costumes and flawless once again Jany Temime also deserve applause.

The film would be the first in the series to be released in 3D, but had its release format canceled a few weeks before the official debut. David Yates continues the tense tax on their previous work on the franchise, without forgetting to extract the best performances from the cast. No sooner has the film begins and we are faced with an engaging and exciting scene with Hermione and her parents. Shortly after we see Harry, after saying goodbye Dursley, revisits his room under the stairs before leaving the place once, in another striking scene. Ahead production, Harry pulls Hermione to dance when she was sad about the departure of Ron. A scene delicate, sensitive in that the characters in a full demonstration of friendship fzendo them go from total sadness to happiness and ends again with sadness about the fact that they could not escape. Another decision that Yates became a differential count was the choice of "The Tale of the Three Brothers" in animated form. A very well done animation tells the story fully, keeping the colors in the same climate of production. Also highlighted the option to tell "The Tale of the Three Brothers", in which is explained the origin of such relics of death, through an animation. The development was sensational, keeping the gloomy mood of the production. It looked like an animation made by Tim Burton by graphics and scene lighting.

Yates has the wisdom to assert the other films. In Deathly Hallows we have the distinct feeling that everything seen so far in preparing for the grand finale. All spells that the characters learned and were little used, now flow as the need will arise. We also see the importance of the training of Dumbledore's Army in The Order of the Phoenix. The leading trio spends the entire movie running away and taking refuge in various locations. Hermione, for example, begins the film completely erasing the memory of the parents to protect them, and spends the entire movie plagued by these memories, knowing they will probably never see them, and if they do, they do not recognize. Ron is one that is no longer comic relief to begin to face their own fears, and now is listening to a radio, to see if your parents or siblings are well. Harry spends all his time with the responsibility of having to go after the Horcruxes because Voldemort knows quea death depends on it. Still have to live with revelations of his mentor Dumbledore, and even back to the place where he was born to face the facts of her past. The quality of the interpretation of the trio is clear. Are required to maintain the tension and fear in every scene and face your fears.

Since Hogwarts is not present, this is the only movie that has the presence of Maggie Smith and David Bradley as Professor McGonagall and as Mr. Filch, respectively. Alan Rickman (Snape), David Thewlis (Lupin) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) lose space appearing in a few scenes. John Hurt was the actor with the greatest range of appearance between films, appearing as Mr. Ollivander in Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010). Ralph Fieenes arises imposing as Lord Voldemort and in the first few scenes already shown their distaste for those who are not pure blood and demonstrates his power to others. Helena Bonham Carter shines as Bellatrix Lestrange and Tom Felton appears in some scenes very much like Draco Malfoy. Bill Nighy incorporates a Ministry of Magic verging on caricature, but not enough to compromise.

David Yates, as well as deepen the drama, and rely on some impressive technique, know how to create great action scenes as the entire sequence involving the three invading the Ministry of Magic, the pursuit of the kidnappers to the trio in the woods, and parts with suspense and terror, as the home of Bathilda Bagshot or the final climax in the house of Malfoy who are faced with Bellatrix and others. Until torture scenes (which were minimized in the final edit to suit the age rating of the film) were shown. Yates and Kloves further distance themselves from all the rules of other films and books, to not atrelarem the issue of time. Christmas, for example, is represented in the scenes in Godric's Hollow, but not him or the arrival of other seasons ranging guiding events, which always culminated with the end of the mysteries and adventures near the last day of school year. The film maintains a sense of urgency and tension throughout its duration. Yates knows move the camera with instability to put the viewer in the scene, uses transitions satisfactory angles higher leaving the characters smaller and more vulnerable, and in outdoor locations, plans air contemplative deserts on land, virtually untouched by man, further increase the feeling of loneliness and the air that post-apocalyptic world threatened by Voldemort.

The Deathly Hallows Part I is bold, interesting but not works as an independent film. Many of the points raised here will only be answered even in the second half. But in order to draw attention and make sure that the series will have an end as deserved is reached.
