Wisely split into two parts, and not just because it will double Warner's take on the last Harry Potter book, "The Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1" finds Harry, Hermione, and Ron on a lonely, rather adult quest, far from the protective and insular Hogwarts, to find and destroy the scattered hiding places of the Dark Lord's soul. David Yates, who some say saved the franchise with "The Order of the Phoenix" (2007) and continued with "The Half-Blood Prince" (2009), brings his usual magisterial command of the material to the penultimate Harry film. I found it thoroughly enjoyable, with the aging stars not only holding up but growing in artistry along with their characters. If you're a fan, I don't have to say see it. But even if you're not, the experience, especially in IMAX, might prompt a Netflix order (or six).Rated PG-13. 146 minutes. David Yates - Director, Steve Kloves - Writer (screenplay), J.K. Rowling - Writer (novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows") / Producer, David Barron - Producer, David Heyman - Producer, Eduardo Serra - Cinematographer, Alexandre Desplat - Composer, Stuart Craig - Production Designer, Mark Day - Editor. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Principal actors: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint.
