USA Today, Scott Bowles: “Menacing and meditative, Hallows is arguably the best installment of the planned eight-film franchise.”
Slate, Dana Stevens: “Ultimately, this movie’s not for Muggles like me-it’s for the millions and millions of Harry Potter fans who, quibbles aside, will welcome its arrival as a blessed event.”
New York Daily News, Elizabeth Weitzman: “Equal parts action thriller, political parable, and multidimensional love story, “Hallows” feels sad and strong and true.”
ReelViews, James Berardinelli: “At a time when Harry Potter should be soaring to new heights, it remains curiously grounded.”
Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert: “The film depends more on mood and character than many of the others, and key actions seem to be alarmingly taking place off-screen.”
Variety, Justin Chang: “Director David Yates spins the series’ most expansive, structurally free-form chapter yet — lumbering and gripping by turns, and suffused with a profound sense of solitude and loss.”
Time, Richard Corliss: “Now the end is near, and the series’ myriad fans, thronging to the opening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, face their gravest challenge yet: sitting.”
