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.

All Critics (249) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (199) | Rotten (53) | DVD (3)
The trouble with Harry, as becomes clear from this seventh and penultimate installment, is not that we have lost the plot -- the film is as tangled and as corkscrewed as Bonham Carter's hair -- but that we are in danger of losing everything else.
Top CriticThere is much to love in the latest offering from the Potter franchise.
By any measure, Deathly Hallows is a ripping thriller.
This one is a long, archetypal journey that screeches to a halt a few stops short of its destination.
Beautifully shot but a soulless cash machine, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" delivers no dramatic payoff, no resolution and not much fun.
Every two minutes the action whooshes sideways to someone somewhere else.
Alternately funny and touching, it's the best film in the series, an "Empire Strikes Back" for these wizards and their wizarding world. And those effects? They're so special you don't notice them.
This penultimate entry in the series lacks the life and the imagination of its worthy predecessors.
It seems unfair to chide the entire film for one sagging act, so in the end, this first part gets a slight recommendation for its characters, art direction, and some thrills.
Fans may think 2 1/2 hours is just right. Some of us would have preferred a little pruning.
... Radcliffe, Grint and Watson have grown into their roles so well.
A terrific set-up to the final chapter of our favorite boy wizard's saga.
Far more emotionally complex and scary than any previous entry - Potter 7.1 is the franchise's best chapter yet.
A water-treading sequel sans emotional momentum which simply serves as a setup for this summer's grand finale.
Deliberate, nervy sequel that wisely matures with the fanbase...The deliberation and general caution of the picture is a perfect way to say good-bye to this amazing run of feature films.
...a sort of fantasy video game where the heroes must find their way through a maze to obtain all the needed magical articles to win. (Blu-ray Combo Edition)
Fortunately, the good outweighs the mediocre, so in the end this is one of the better installments in the series.
No more professors, no more books; no more Potter's defiant looks.
The domineering final stretch of a story that has become as much popcorn distraction as old, reliable friend is shaping up to be part family reunion, part merciless slugfest.
Noted critics have used the words 'unintelligible' and 'impenetrable' to describe the script. Here's a couple more: Boring and meandering.
The magic is lost on the very young because of the films' even darker tone.
The saga of Harry Potter definitely heats up before it winds down.
Probablemente la mejor de la serie desde El Prisionero de Azkaban (2004), HP7 es una película de clima denso, oscuro y ominoso, excelentemente filmada.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is the first entry of the franchise to really capture the essence of J.K. Rowling's masterworks.
Although it feels far too long, Yates and Kloves thankfully mix the dark drama with lighter comedy, allowing the characters to grow organically
Potter stumbles at the finish line with tepid Hallows.

Super Reviewer
-
- Bellatrix Lestrange: You stupid elf, you could have killed me!
- Dobby: Dobby never meant to kill, Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure.
-
- Gellert Grindelwald: Hello Tom, I knew, you would come, one day. But surely you must know I no longer have what you seek.
- Lord Voldemort: Tell me Grindelwald, tell me where it is, tell me who possesses it!
- Gellert Grindelwald: The Elder Wand lies with him, of course... buried in the earth. Dumbledore.
-
- Rufus Scrimgeour: These are dark times, there is no denying. Our world has perhaps faced no greater threat than it does today.

- Harry Potter: You think I don't know how this feels?!
- Ron Wesley: No, you don't know how it feels! Your parents are dead! You have no family!
-
