The controversial splitting up of the last Harry Potter novel into two films proves to be detrimental to the series and undermines the material, resulting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 being quite lackluster. Picking up shortly after the last film, Harry and his friends set out to finish the work of Dumbledore by finding Voldemort’s horcruxes and destroying them. The story is long and boring, and really goes nowhere. It feels incomplete in a lot of ways, as it resolves nothing and doesn’t further the plot. Additionally, most of the performances are dull and uninteresting; lacking the passion and spirit that the other films have. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is a monotonous film that fails to stand on its own and is only mildly entertaining.
