The Locket sequence and The Tale of the Three Brothers are the best scenes i've ever seen in a Potter movie.
Anyway, the SE DVD version are VERY tempting, they look great. I really, really hope they bring the same to the Blu version 
Can't wait for Part 2! |
DH Part One, is by far, the best one yet. Even if you're not a Harry Potter fan (like myself) you would enjoy it. Although I have to stress it would help if you knew the backstories beforehand. The so called 'dragging' parts were brilliant, and offered great insight into the characters. The only gripe I had, as well as with the whole movie series, is the relationship between Harry and Hermione. In DH Part One this gripe reached a whole new level since the two of them share a dance when Ron has abandoned them and at the end of the scene there is a moment where you would think they would become intimate. The scene was not in the book and I've always hated the fact that Ron Weasley has been pushed to the background, I think the character is the most relatable, not to mention Rupert Grint is the best actor of the whole trio.
