The famous offerings of author J. K. Rowling got a lot of attention. They got even more attention when they started being turned into movies, and critics, fans, and other viewers are all eager to share their opinion on the quality of the series' latest offerings. Harry Potter 7, The Deathly Hallows Part One, became available to a US audience in November 2010, and received mostly good reviews.
The series started with the adventures of an eleven year old Harry, trying to find his place in the wizarding world where he is someone special. These early days showcased childish problems such as pranks along with the serious quests gone on by the main characters. As the series matured and the problems increased in severity, the films became darker and darker. After the somewhat disturbing movie number six, Half-Blood Prince, Deathly Hallows continues the angst-filled and somewhat despairing tone.
As would be expected for the seventh movie of any series, this one throws you right in. There is no explanation for much of the goings-on, and viewers without the previous six films or books as background are likely to be hopelessly lost. But not spending time on explanations is both true to the books and a good choice for the films-- there's hardly enough time to tell the complex story in the time allotted even without some kind of recap.
Critics responded mostly positively to the acting by the three main leads and many auxiliary characters. Given the youth of the actors involved, the stirring performance was all the more extraordinary, if not unexpected. The previous six films had already assured most viewers that there was no lack of talent among the young Potter cast.
Complaints about this latest film were mainly focused on the fact that it is the first part of a two part sequence. Because of this, the storyline is necessarily unfinished, and the movie contains a lot of set-up and exposition. In order to remain as true to the book as possible, however, all of this build-up and information is important, but some people found it long and stagnant.
The other main issue was with the amount of time spent by the characters pondering and anguishing about their situations. However, this particular movie is the build-up to an epic battle that will end the war once and for all, and the emotionally-fraught moments spent thinking about their mortality and uncertain futures felt appropriate to most viewers. The dark and serious tone of the movie is also very true to the book.
This is undoubtedly a bit slower than the previous movies, at least since the earliest ones. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The pacing is quicker at the beginning and end, and slows somewhat in the middle to a more thoughtful speed. Given that large amounts of information about the history and potential outcome of the war are included in these slower sequences, they are essential to the storyline as well as the atmosphere.
People who were not fans of the books or previous movies are unlikely to enjoy Harry Potter 7. However, some people who were not fans of the previous movies but liked the books might enjoy this one. It sticks more closely to the books than any of the movies since perhaps number two. The overall reaction to the film by both critics and viewers was mixed, but leaning towards the positive.
