Harry Potter: Every Wizarding World Movie Ranked Worst To Best

10. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 1

It was always going to be a pretty controversial decision to split the final Harry Potter book in two, but it wasn't entirely unsuccessful: it just happens that the first half was rather badly out-performed by the second. That's what happens when you back-load it for spectacle though.

The Good

For all of its unevenness, there are some brilliant scenes. The Godric's Hollow sequence is brilliant and scary, and the infiltration of the Ministry is a hilarious and fitting sequence.

Also, the central trio's acting is the finest here that it is in the entire franchise - mostly because they're given more space to actually perform emotionally. And the animated Three Brothers sequence is lovely.

The Bad

The pacing again: at times it feels like a little bit of a slog, and very much a slow-building set-up for the bigger fireworks of the second part. That's not so much of a problem if you watch them back to back, but as a stand-alone, there's precious little resolution and it feels a little incomplete.
