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. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review 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. Jul 10, 2018 Full Review David Elliott 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 Nov 14, 2016 Full Review Martin Carr CBR Among the peerless performances and flawless structure, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 explores a preoccupation with human connection. This film reminds audiences that everything is finite, including time with those we love. Rated: 8/10 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Surprising for its dramatic clout and atypical presentation, The Deathly Hallows, Part 1 will instantly challenge audiences to reconsider the formula-bound hands with which Yates has directed the franchise up to now. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a woefully erratic adaptation that predominantly feels like it should be an hour shorter. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Brittney There is nothing better than seeing a HP movie on the big screen with surround sound! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Brandye 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review HeartbreakPrince Intense awesome sexy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Cole Amazing movie.
