Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 (2010) starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson. The final book in the Harry Potter series is brought to the screen in two parts. In this, the first part, Harry Potter (Radcliffe), accompanied by Hermione Granger (Watson) and Ron Weasley (Grint), is pursued relentlessly by death-eaters as he searches for the horcruxes which contain parts of Voldemort's soul. Harry must destroy the horcruxes, but the horcrux he finds has a poisonous effect on the trio of wizards, who are hiding out in the wilderness. It's been a while since I read the book, so I am unable to evaluate how well the movie follows the book, except to say that it seems to hew pretty closely to the spirit of what Rowling wrote. The film is uniformly dark, which I suppose was intentional -- but the darkness makes it a little less enjoyable to watch -- especially on video. The subtitles are OK. Pottermaniacs may give this movie an A, but I give it a Grade: B
