As anyones who is familiar with the books will tell you, the story of Harry Potter has gone from the innocence of it's beginnings all the way to the dark and exciting dregs of wizard battle. This, the first of 2 parts from director David Yates of the last book in the series, is a fine example of how a talky and somewhat messy film can be made interesting by sheer character development. First, the acting; the performances from the leads have never been better, with everyone offering impressive and mature portrayals of the characters they have grown up playing. The script is also decent, borrowing from the book, but also adapting neatly to further streamline the production. The film is a little off-key in terms of atmosphere, and at some points does feel rather rushed, but as a set up to the final showdown it is a sharp and impressive film that really shines as both an adaptation of the first half of the source novel but also on a technical level. Another well-judged addition to the series.
