Where the enjoyment could be just from seeing all of this effort happen, the combined films of the final chapter in the series delivers epic entertainment worthy of its distinct place in movie history.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 17, 2024

Among the peerless performances and flawless structure, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 explores a preoccupation with human connection. This film reminds audiences that everything is finite, including time with those we love.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 22, 2024

Surprising for its dramatic clout and atypical presentation, The Deathly Hallows, Part 1 will instantly challenge audiences to reconsider the formula-bound hands with which Yates has directed the franchise up to now.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 3, 2023

...a woefully erratic adaptation that predominantly feels like it should be an hour shorter.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 4, 2022

Hyperbolic? Overly giddy? Oh hush. There's little place for cynicism in the world of Harry Potter. Besides, wait until the sort of stuff you're spouting two and a half hours after you've entered the cinema...

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 25, 2021

More than any of the previous entries, this one feels like a fragment of a story, and resultantly just a fraction of a film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Daniel Radcliffe has gone from awkward young boy to a rather magnificent young man, not unlike Harry Potter himself.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

Part one of The Deathly Hallows is largely a rumble before the deafening storm.

| Feb 28, 2020

You can't help but be moved. The film brought me to tears [with] true terror...

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 15, 2020

A film that serves as a fragile bridge that lacks action, but that supplements this absence with an intimate look at the relationship between the three main protagonists of the saga. [Full Review in Spanish]

The film accomplishes its mission to get audiences excited for the final installment. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 1, 2019

David Yates successfully leaves fans excited for the last installment of the saga. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 30, 2019

A long and boring story that could have been told in a single film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2019

The characters go through the plot as desperate avatars of an esoteric video game that hopefully transcends in legitimate epic in its final outcome. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Nov 30, 2019

A show of fun and darkness that will not disappoint fans of the series or fans hungry for fantasy. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Nov 30, 2019

The problem here again resides in the narrative's lack of complexity with many moments serving more to extend the story for one more movie. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 30, 2019

The magic has given way to hormones...If we continue to pay for stuff like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the studios will keep doling it out.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 29, 2019

It is a significant achievement that in these days of phoned-in halfhearted sequels making money hand over fist, the filmmakers of the Harry Potter series have taken such care with visual and storytelling elements.

| Jul 24, 2019

Good film directed for a teenage audience in which not only is magic taught but also how stereotypes affect it while the film itself recreates some British stereotypes. [Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 11, 2019

All that drama in the tent and the weak attempt to make a love triangle happen doesn't work.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 4, 2019
