David Yates finally nailed it!

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2010)

At last the World of Harry Potter comes to real life. You never found this world of Wizards and Witches, the world of J.K. Rowling, as alive as in this movie. It all works out. With this movie J.K. Rowling is now responsible for a real true artwork. David Yates translates the book perfectly into a movie and he does that with a language and style which will make this movie unforgettable.
It is the the perfectly balanced entertainment. Between all threats, all evil there is a lot of love and humor and the Harry Potter-stuff finally becomes the awesome adventure it always could have been. The great thing about it is, that this great adventure, this thrilling story, this wondrous and fantastic world is carried by real characters and the movie takes it's time for them. There is real drama going on.
I don't know how it to watch The Deathly Hallows without knowing the books or movies before it, but I know, that this movie-part was just absolutely satisfying for me. There is no weak point, nothing to complain for me.
To put it in a nutshell: David Yates' directing is marvellous, it's pure energy and pure sensitivity for drama and story.
Perfect :)
