Quite well directed and the young cast has grown in acting skills

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2011)

I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books.
I was pleasantly surprised while watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. I can hardly wait to see Part 2.
David, Emma and Rupert have grown so much in their craft (acting!). I also think the movie captured most of the important ideas of the book and I really love the way they handled the division into two parts.
Part 2 is going to be very interesting to watch!
One review mentioned the popping in and out by characters so quickly from out of nowhere that it spoiled the movie for him.
I knew exactly what was happening - they were apparating. I thought the film "apparating" sequences were well done and DID give you the sense of how "apparating" is described in the books. It doesn't look pleasant although I'm sure we muggles would risk that if we only had the ability to do it! :) Perhaps anyone who is not familiar with the Harry Potter books or Harry's Wizarding World needs to watch this with a Harry Potter fan in tow to explain the things that Muggles might not understand.
Enjoy!
