Another was Godric's Hollow, like the former I knew it was coming but it was done in an atmospheric and unnerving way I couldn't help jump. I think what got me were his last words, they were so poetic and touching. Dobby was so lovable and funny, and in this instalment cute too I think(loved the trainers), although I knew it was going to happen I couldn't help shedding tears. One was Dobby's death, I thought it was heart-rending.
There are a few scenes too that I especially liked. Moody's comment about the polyjuice potion), while the story despite the slow pacing was never less than engrossing. The script is an improvement too, not that it was terrible in the other movies, but especially I thought the humour was better judged(ie. The music was another delight, it was sweeping, grandiose, majestic, for me the most complex and most atmospheric of all the Harry Potter movie scores. The darker scenes were indeed dark and somewhat bleak, especially the beginning at Malfoy Manor where it looked like a film noir, while the scenery in the middle of the film was gorgeous. Criticism aside, I adored the production values. As beautiful as it was, it didn't admit much to the story. I think it started and ended brilliantly, it was the middle where it dragged with a lot of admiring the scenery. If I do have a criticism here, I do agree that the pacing is rather slow. I also think they made the right decision splitting it into two parts, if they hadn't the result I think would have been too rushed.
After seeing it with my family last night I have to say Amen! This was a wonderful film in my opinion, and it does a very good job sticking to a mammoth story. I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 with high expectations, there were many friends of mine who said it was brilliant and the best yet. None of them are masterpieces, but they are likable, entertaining and I think well made too. Just for the record, I love the books(for a while Philosopher's Stone was a huge favourite of mine) and I personally like the films.
