and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and

professors, the three friends must now rely on one another more

to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for
all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has be and
Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic

Harry’s only hope is to find the horcruxes before Voldemort

.co.uk Review
-------------
Correctly billed as the beginning of the end, Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows Part 1 kicks off the two-part finale to the
massively popular movie franchise, and it does it with some
style.
It shoots out of the traps, too. It’s established in
double-quick time that the evil Lord Voldemort is closing in on
his play to kill Harry Potter, and courtesy of a tremendous
opening escape sequence, the chase is soon on. This means that
Harry, along with Ron and Hermione, spends the film away from the
sort-of-safe grounds of Hogwarts, and they’re up against some
sizeable dangers.
It does all present Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
with a bit of a problem, though. Already having to contend with
being the first half of a story that many are craving the ending
to, it’s an elongated road movie for long periods, and not always
one that’s able to sustain the full sense of menace and
excitement.
But when it does perform, as Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows Part 1 often does, it’s excellent blockbuster
entertainment. There’s a boldness to large sequences of it, too,
not least a terrific animated segment, and you get a lot of
entertainment for your money, here. And, without question, it
looks stunning in high definition. No corners have been cut here
at all, and the cinematic quality of the picture and sound is
reference standard.
It ends with a bit of a sudden application of the brakes rather
than a natural lead in to the next film, and it’s too long,
certainly. Yet the pentultimate Harry Potter movie keeps the
standard high, and most certainly whets the appetite for the
final reckoning to come… --Jon Foster
