With Deathly Hallows: Part 1, that is finally seen on-screen, particularly with the investigation into Dumbledore’s past and the history of the world as the trio searched for items that could’ve been potential Horcruxes. The allure of the books was the wizarding world at large, and learning more about this mystical universe, the characters that inhabited it, and what was possible. But, it became the focal point of the films from the start. While the plot with Voldemort was interesting, it wasn’t the main allure of the story. Little moments and well-developed main characters/relationships made the books a success, and that’s something that lacks too much in some of the films. The other Harry Potter films are great, but Deathly Hallows: Part 1 benefits incredibly from the book being split into two films, with the final battle and end of Harry Potter’s story saved for the next movie. And, splitting the book into two films allowed for the viewers to become even more invested in the story and the characters, making the end of the story in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 all the more powerful and impactful. They’re allowed to make mistakes, take risks, and come close to losing everything (and really feel that near-death experience). The characters, particularly the trio, are allowed to be emotional, while still being heroic. It allows time for things like Bill ( Dohmnall Gleeson) and Fleur’s ( Clémence Poésy) wedding and makes the risk of death even more frightening and heartbreaking to consider as their journey progresses. Instead of briskly darting to the end, the focus of this film is on interpersonal relationships.
The plot moves forward at an enjoyable pace without overtaking every other aspect of the film or overshadowing the characters and the beautiful relationships from the books. What really brings Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to the top of the list is that, for the first time in the films, everything and everyone is allowed to slow down a bit. He’s sucked all of the hope out of the wizarding world, which contributes to how much pressure is on the trio to save the day. Sure, the other films show Voldemort to be a dangerous foe, but Deathly Hallows: Part 1 details how Voldemort is everywhere and on the brink of success. It all comes together to capture the dark tone and utter seriousness of what’s going on in their world and what a major threat they’re facing.

It’s so simple, but such a beautiful touch to give the characters (and viewers) an emotional break and improves the movie tenfold. And, after Ron leaves, Harry and Hermione’s dance scene is such a sweet moment of friendship between the two, giving them a small but much-needed break from the constant misery and despair of their situation. For instance, showing Hermione wiping herself from her Muggle parents’ memories so they wouldn’t be in danger is glossed over with a quick mention in the books, but is such a vital display of the cost of the upcoming war in the film. The additional scenes that weren’t in the books add to this, too. We see how strong their love for each other is, but we also see their relationships tested. During this film, we can actively see the toll that this journey is taking on them, individually, and in their relationships with each other.
In the other films, the relationship between the trio (while still incredible) felt a bit superficial because the focus given to them was not nearly as detailed as the books, and they were often too distracted to just bond. Given that much of the film is spent with Harry, Hermione, and Ron camping out or planning a new adventure together, moviegoers are able to see how close they really are. Most notably, Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is a much deeper dive into these familiar characters and their relationships with one another.

On all accounts, slowing things down and splitting the finale into two parts truly worked in favor of the series. Given that the final book was split into two films, the first part has more time to breathe and is able to translate more of the book onto the big screen. Yes, even better than Prisoner of Azkaban. Surely a controversial opinion Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the best film in the series.
