Review
DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 is scary and a bit funny like the other Harry Potter films, and it has a very involved storyline set differently from the adventures set in the school of Hogwarts. The film continues where the last one left off. Each actor shows their best performance, and so do the visual effects. I'm impressed with the cliffhanger ending that involves Voldemort and the animation sequence of the Deathly Hallows story. I never knew DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 could be the next Empire Strikes Back.

For anyone who has seen the movie, try Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2which is the last instalment of the film series.

Star rating:
(4/5) Good Movie
