Fantasy. Adventure. Drama Voldemort's power is growing stronger. He now has control over the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione decide to finish Dumbledore's work and find the rest of the Horcruxes to defeat the Dark Lord. But little hope remains for the Trio, and the rest of the Wizarding World, so everything they do must go as planned.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Nick De Semlyen Empire	"The first and third acts are over-busy; the middle one moves like an arthritic house-elf. Still, a decent smattering of magic moments and tension’s pumped up sky-high. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Is all tease, zero payoff (...) Part I is more disappointment than disaster. It merely rolls along like something off an assembly line. Untouched by human hands (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"Hallows is arguably the best installment of the planned eight-film franchise, though audiences who haven't kept up with previous chapters will be hopelessly lost (...) A visual feast (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"School's out for Harry, Hermione and Ron – and so is any sense of wit or warmth. (...) [it] feels at times largely indistinguishable from the six outings preceding it (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The movie, in other words, belongs solidly to Mr. Radcliffe, Mr. Grint and Ms. Watson, who have grown into nimble actors (...) Even though it ends in the middle, “Deathly Hallows: Part 1” finds notes of anxious suspense and grave emotion to send its characters, and its fans, into the last round"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	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.	NEG
Spain	FilmAffinity	Box-office: Hallows part I scores 6th biggest weekend ever with $125 million, trailing 'The Dark Knight', 'Spider Man 3', 'New Moon', 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2' and 'Iron Man 2'.	DIS
