Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) by Payup — 19 Nov 2010

If they had split each of the fourth, fifth, and maybe even sixth books into two movies I would have commended them, for a lot of key scenes and a lot of the plotline of these 2 books was left out of the movies.

However, in my opinion, splitting the final book was a big mistake. Reading the seventh book I was nearly bored out of my mind during the first half as Harry, Ron and Hermione spent the entire time on the run, and very few things of interest occurred, which is exactly the same as the movie: extremely dull with very little happening in a large amount of time.

While it does seem like a ploy to rob viewers of more money, it should definitely make for a thrilling conclusion, as the best part of the deathly hallows occurs in the 2nd half, at hogwarts. While this film was a huge disappointment, I am looking forward to the 8th and final installment in the harry potter movie franchise.
