So in many ways, this is a film about unity and independence at the same time. But I like the fact that this film wasn't just them cutting ties with their family and loved ones to find horcruxes, it was about them becoming adults capable of doing things on their own. That was a welcomed shift for me.Īfter the last 3 films, it seemed like the series had already grown up enough. There are certainly still some minute problems that can be annoying, like Voldemort's minimal presence, but this was the first movie that solely focused on the trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Now that I have gone back and re-watched each film, I have grown more of an appreciation for the series as a whole, and particularly, Deathly Hallows Part 1. Of course, this was before having seen part 2. To me, it was missing its own identity and conclusion to feel like its own film.
Upon first viewing, I wasn't a huge fan of the first Deathly Hallows. But then there is the Harry Potter series, which managed to make a well-strung first part, which ranks among the franchise's best, to set up one of the greatest conclusions in film history. There have been quite a few times, especially recently, when dividing the last story of a franchise into two parts was a huge mistake.
