Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1: Ben's Review


So recently, Kyle and I went to see the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. This movie was very good and I enjoyed it very much. We have seen all of the characters grow up and now, finally, we see Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint in their best acting to date.

Some things that I found interesting in the movie were the small changes that they made from the book to the movie. I thought that the few changes they made in the movie actually benefited and brought more clear the story line. There was added sense of humor throughout the movie and a very humorous seen after Ron leaves where Harry and Hermione dance. This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie because you get to see them trying to be happy, but the reality of what they need to accomplish is still always there. 


For all of you book lovers, this movie was the best Harry Potter movie in regards to following the book in detail. This is great for the viewers that are dedicated to reading the books. The downside of this is for those of you who didn’t read the books, is that the movie moves slow at some points and goes for extended amounts of time without action. The only other downside of the movie is that it ends very abruptly. I don’t agree with the spot that the producers decided to cut the film in half. Although, to be fair, there isn’t ever a good spot to stop telling the story of a book.

In all, the movie was very good. I think that the 6th movie was actually better than this movie. However this movie sets up for a great end in part 2 of the Deathly Hallows.

Overall Rating: 8.9
