This franchise's nerd days are at an end.

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2019)

From special effects to acting to plot to dialogue, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" is perfect in every way and utterly flawless. There are so many memorable scenes I can't even decide which is my favorite. The memory wipe, the Seven Potters, Ron's Splinching, Gregorovitch's interrogation, Nagini's ambush, the Three Brothers, Malfoy Manor, and most of all the undying friendship and loyalty and utter co-dependency that's been keeping this franchise together, there's literally nothing to be hated and everything to be loved. This movie reinforces the real stakes and everything makes sense thanks to years of build-up. Plus it's nice to leave wizarding boarding school for a change and get out there in the wild where anything can happen. No doubt this masterpiece will be burned into my subconscious for the rest of my life.
