Without the guidance and protection of their professors, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) begin a mission to destroy the Horcruxes, the sources of Voldemort's immortality. Though they must rely on one another more than ever, dark forces threaten to tear them apart. Voldemort's Death Eaters have seized control of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, and they are searching for Harry -- even as he and his friends prepare for the ultimate showdown.

Critics Consensus

It can't help but feel like the prelude it is, but Deathly Hallows: Part I is a beautifully filmed, emotionally satisfying penultimate installment for the Harry Potter series.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

As directed by David Yates, it moves too fast. It never lingers, or stops to smell the roses.

Sophie Mayer

Sight & Sound

Rather than taking time to wonder, to immerse, or even to grieve at the crucial moments of the story, the film and its characters are driven on towards this future confrontation with videogame logic and an endless flow of exposition-based dialogue.

San Diego Reader

Maturing performances are a bonus, but the show's the thing, and by now it seems much richer than any theme park that could ever be made from it.

Rated: 3/5

These are somehow getting worse. I don't enjoy any of the characters and I'm starting to think the build up towards the finale won't be worth it.

Rated: 1/5

Medium Popcorn

This is overlong and full of awkward beats that are almost cringe-worthy. I was never a fan of splitting the final story into two films.

Rated: 2/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Where the enjoyment could be just from seeing all of this effort happen, the combined films of the final chapter in the series delivers epic entertainment worthy of its distinct place in movie history.

Rated: 5/5

Have seen this movie many times at home but never in a movie theater because my daughter was too young when it originally released. We have matching tattoos that say Hey little train wait for me from the O Children song that played when Harry and Hermione danced in the tent. Now waiting for Part 2.
