"Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1" - a retrospective

Pop Culture Double Date

We're in the home stretch of our Harry Potter rewatch, folks, and we find ourselves asking whether this is the weirdest and weakest entry in the entire series. Does the movie suffer from a lack of any scenes at Hogwarts? Is the hint of a love triangle between Harry, Hermione and Ron at all believable? Does the ending land with the emotional punch that the makers hoped? And does this movie do anything beyond the setting the scene for the climax to come? Come for the recap, and stay for the deeper and more considered discussion than any of us had expected.
