Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Adorkable: Harry and Hermione's dancing.
 * Continuity Lock Out:
 * This trope is actually Inverted between Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows - Part 1 - a Non Sequitur Scene halfway through Half-Blood Prince that wasn't in the book involves the bad guys burning The Burrow (the Weasleys' house) to the ground. With no explanation at all, it reappears without a scratch in Deathly Hallows.
 * Deathly Hallows - Part 1 does not waste one second bringing people up to speed on who the characters are or what they're doing. Movie critics have not let this pass without comment.
 * It also relies heavily on a shard of that Sirius gave Harry in OotP as a visual and plot device - despite the fact that it did not appear in the OotP movie. Turns out in Part 2 that . But we don't know how it ended broken, or in Harry's hands. It seems highly probable that this was in the original cut of Order of the Phoenix, but thanks to Executive Meddling, it was cut for the theatrical version.
 * Fan Service: The nude kissing scene between Horcrux!Harry and Horcrux!Hermione is this to male and female fans alike.
 * Freud Was Right: When Voldemort takes Lucius's wand in Deathly Hallows (snapping off its cane handle), Lucius flinches as if he had just been castrated.
 * He decapitated poor Snakey!
 * Non Sequitur Scene: Harry and Hermione's dancing. Whether you find the scene touching or hilarious, it still came out of nowhere.
 * Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Many reviewers and fans feel that Dobby's appearance in this film significantly improves his character.
 * Special Effect Failure: Lily and James' gravestone in Godrics Hollow finally confirms that the films are following the same timeline as the books (in spite of the whole Millennium Bridge incident). Then in Snape's flashback scenes the make-up artists/visual effects team apparently decided not to help out 64-year-old Alan Rickman in his portrayal of a 21-year-old man. The same goes for Lily and James' actors looking in their forties in the same scenes.
