Epic

A culmination of a massive build-up, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 ended even before the feeling could set in..
Fear and loathing, gloom and doom are evident in every shot, every frame. Masterfully directed by Yates, the movie is a refreshing change from the corridors of Hogwarts, which predominantly featured in every movie so far..
It begins with suffocating tension, as Harry readies to face his true destiny. Friends and allies come together to protect the Chosen One, as they attempt to make a better future for their loved ones, a future in which no one has to  fear for their lives..
The movie over-all is gorgeous, with overwhelming end-of-the world shots..foreboding mountains and lonely beaches..
The series has grown progressively darker in tone and theme, and the actors rise up to the heightened emotional challenge remarkably. The storyline though sags at various points before rising exceptionally towards the end to make sure the ending is a cliff-hanger and viewers would be left wanting for more.

The movie is truly of epic proportions...and what makes it all the more special is that people will cherish every single shot because they know it ends here.

This is it then, this is the end, at least till July.
