I’m in London. I’m over on the other side of the pond because tomorrow is the London press junket for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and I got to see the film tonight. While we’ve been asked not to write full reviews, we have been cleared to write some initial thoughts. Since I’m a bit pressed on time, I’m keeping it very brief.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is as close to the book as any fan could hope for. While there are some changes (it is a movie after all), many of the scenes played out exactly as I envisioned them while reading the final installment. But to me, the best part was having the time to not rush through scenes because of the limits of a two and a half hour movie. As you watch Deathly Hallows – Part 1, you’ll notice is moves at a different pace than the previous movies. And I liked it. A lot. I will say…when the credits started rolling, I wished Part 2 was being released tomorrow. At least we only have to wait till next summer.
Oh, one last thing, while I thought Part 1 might have had a chance at Best Picture, it’s not getting a nomination. But Part 1 has set up what should be an amazing finale. One that might have the emotional payoff for a Best Picture nom. Much more Harry Potter coverage soon.

Sounds interesting !! I hope they did not cut to much, to get a lower rating, so that Kids can watch it. I wanna have a brutal, dark Harry potter.
it is VERY dark.
Can’t wait… 2 and half hr are Awesome
brilliant! It’s great to hear good news about it, I saw the guardian first review and they only gave it two stars – but I had to force that out of my mind because however much I like the guardian’s news, they are pretentious twats when they come to film reviews.
Can’t wait to read the full review. Collider’s coverage of Part I so far has been stellar (the interviews are the best I’ve seen for this movie), and I’m happy that this reporter liked it.

Hey Steve ‘Frosty’
UGO mentioned/joked about your apparent wearing of a Gryffindor scarf to the premiere.
@2:30 into this video review:

Warner Brothers should be ashamed for not hiring better directors for this franchise. Which let’s admit had alot of potential inspite of it’s humble origins.
Such a waste and shame.
Good to hear. Looking forward to seeing it.
Steve, could you tell me if, in your opinion, it´s the best Harry Potter movie? My expectations are high, but I was disappointed by The Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince, as a huge fan of the books. I trust you, so I would like to know how this movie fits in the regular quality of the saga.

Have Harry and Ron share a homosexual kiss. It wll get an instant nomination and sweep the Mtv movie awards. Yea, I said it.
