Plot

Part 1

This plot summary is currently experiencing a high level of editing activity. Details are being changed frequently at this time. Editors may wish to consider contributing to other aspects of the article such as production or reception.

Harry Potter and his allies from Hogwarts, the Order of the Phoenix, know that their only hope is to find and destroy the Horcruxes before their enemy the evil wizard Voldemort restores his full powers by killing Harry. By a magical subterfuge they smuggle Harry to The Burrow, the home of the Weasleys, which is secure from magical attack.

At the same time Harry's former schoolmaster Severus Snape, who killed the headmaster Albus Dumbledore, meets with his fellow Death Eaters. He was a double agent within Hogwarts and is welcomed by the revitalized Voldemort and the others.

After escaping a death eater attack on Bill and Fleur's wedding, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine take refuge at 12 Grimmauld Place where they find Kreacher hiding and learn the true identity of RAB as Regulus Black. Harry and his friends find out the true locket of Salazar Slytherin is in the Ministry of Magic. They break into the Ministry, retrieve the locket, and travel magically to a forest. Their attempts to destroy this Horcrux fail, so they take turns wearing it in an attempt to dilute its effects; this quickly drives them to mutual suspicion and fear, as whenever the wearer wears the locket, it causes their paronia, anger, and stess to rise, especially for Ron. Overcome by suspicion, Ron departs from the group, which leaves Hermione distraught. One evening, while listening to music, Harry invites Hermione to dance with him, and their dance eventually relieves some of their tension and raises their spirits.

Harry and Hermione try to find Bathilda Bagshot, a magical historian who they think will be able to help them, but they are attacked by Lord Voldemort's snake Nagini who has killed her. In the escape from Nagini, Harry's wand is broken. Hermione identifies a young man seen in a vision by Harry as one Gellert Grindelwald.

Following a mysterious doe Patronus, Harry finds the Sword of Gryffindor at the bottom of a frozen pond; this is vital because it can destroy Horcruxes, for it is made to absorb things that only make it stonger. Since Harry used it in his second year at Hogwarts to kill the basilisk which lived in the school's Chamber of Secrets, it is now infused with basilisk venom, one of the few things that can destroy Horcruxes. As Harry swims to reach it, the locket attempts to drown him. Ron reappears, saves him, and grabs the sword. Harry convinces Ron to try to destroy the locket. It manipulates Ron's worst fears, but Ron successfully destroys it with the sword.

They visit the Lovegood house, where Xenophilius Lovegood teaches them about the Deathly Hallows, three legendary powerful magical artifacts. He explains that they are the Elder Wand, which makes the wielder unbeatable, the Resurrection Stone, which can bring back the dead, and the Cloak of Invisibility, which renders the user undetectable. As they attempt to leave, he betrays them to the Death Eaters as ransom for his daughter Luna. The trio escape and travel magically back to the forest, where a group of Snatchers is waiting. After a chase through the forest they are surrounded. Hermione magically disfigures Harry's face to conceal his identity from the Snatchers. Harry has another vision and sees Voldemort finding Grindelwald. Grindelwald tells him that as a result of a long ago duel, Dumbledore is now the master of the Elder Wand.

At Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix imprisons Harry and Ron in the cellar, where she has also imprisoned Luna, the wandmaker Ollivander, and the goblin Griphook; meanwhile, Bellatrix tortures Hermione to try to find out how they acquired the Sword of Gryffindor, which she had believed to be safe in her bank vault.

Harry, using a magical mirror his godfather Sirius gave him, sees another man's face looking back at him. He begs the person in the mirror for help. Dobby then appears and at Harry's request, rescues Luna and Ollivander and returns to help Harry, Ron, Hermione and Griphook. The group rescue Hermione with Dobby's help, but Bellatrix kills Dobby with a dagger as they Disapparate. Harry gives Dobby a proper burial on the beach. Later, Voldemort opens Dumbledore's tomb and takes the Elder Wand, casting a powerful curse into the sky.

Part 2

Part 2, which has been filmed but is not to be released until 15 July 2011, will pick up the thread of the novel's plot from the end of Part 1, following Voldemort's acquisition of Dumbledore's elder wand.

Jason Isaacs considered not returning for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before the book was released, as he was worried that the senior Malfoy would have very little screen time due to the character's imprisonment in the previous story. Meeting J. K. Rowling at an awards dinner he fell to his knees and said "Get me out of prison, I beg you." Rowling reassured Isaacs by looking over her shoulder and mouthing "You're out. Chapter One." Isaacs signed onto the film immediately afterward.

Joshua Herdman announced on 9 August 2009 (2009-08-09) that Jamie Waylett would not be reprising his role as Vincent Crabbe for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Waylett's character would instead be written out and his role in the plot taken over by Herdman's character, Gregory Goyle.

Director David Yates has announced that, for the final scene in the film which is set nineteen years after the film's main story, older actors will not be cast to play the main characters. Special effects will be used to depict the cast members as adults.

Production

Development

The decision to divide Rowling's final book into a two-part movie came from the original declined proposal to split Goblet of Fire in 2004. Deathly Hallows was shot back to back, and treated as if it were one film. The idea to split the book into a two-part movie had been around since the middle of 2007, but only came into serious consideration after producer David Heyman was able to talk to writer Steve Kloves when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended and Heyman had Rowling's approval. Kloves started his work on the script for the second part in April 2009.

According to Warner Bros. executive Alan F. Horn, it will allow "an extra hour and a half to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas in the amazing story." Heyman described the workings behind the split: "Deathly Hallows is so rich, the story so dense and there is so much that is resolved that, after discussing it with J. K. Rowling, we came to the conclusion that two parts were needed." Kloves was not able to start work on the script until the WGA strike ended.

Before David Yates was officially chosen to direct the film, others had expressed an interest in the job. Alfonso Cuarón, director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, had said that he would be tempted to return to direct. Guillermo del Toro, who passed on Prisoner of Azkaban, had expressed interest in directing Deathly Hallows, but an increased workload over the production of The Hobbit ruled him out of the project.

Rowling was appointed producer on the two-part film, alongside David Heyman and David Barron. Heyman noted that the films will be a closer recreation of the books than the previous films because of the length a two-part adaptation entails. Daniel Radcliffe said: "This is a road movie, particularly in Part One of the film. People have been so used to seeing Harry Potter at Hogwarts and we're just not there for the first part of the film. That seems to have really freshened things up, and hopefully will get people seeing the films with fresh eyes again, because it's just a totally different look when you're not just sat in the same room the whole time."

Yates and Heyman have noted that some of the events of the seventh book had an effect on the way the sixth film was written.

Filming

Pre-production began on 26 January 2009 (2009-01-26), while filming began on 19 February 2009 (2009-02-19) at Leavesden Studios, where the previous six installments were filmed. Pinewood Studios became the second studio location for filming the seventh movie. Bruno Delbonnel, the Director of Photography for the sixth film, opted not to work on Deathly Hallows, as he was afraid of repeating himself. Therefore Eduardo Serra was chosen to be the cinematographer for Parts 1 and 2. Director David Yates said that the film will be shot with "loads of hand-held cameras." He stated, "I want to shake things up every time I go into this world. I like experimenting as we go along." In October 2009, Ralph Fiennes started filming his role as Lord Voldemort. Many of the adult actors also prepared for filming during that period. The crew also shot on location, with Swinley Forest and Freshwater West as two of the main outdoor filming areas, along with the village of Lavenham in Suffolk and the streets of the city of London.

On 26 March 2010 (2010-03-26), filming finished in Pinewood Studios. However, Leavesden Studios was still occupied for further filming. The movie in its entirety was filmed over a one and a half year period throughout the United Kingdom and finished on 12 June 2010. Even though the shooting schedule was set at 250 days, the filming took 478 days to complete. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson all openly wept on the last day, which seem to end their ten years of work on the films. However, filming is not totally finished. Parts of the Epilogue of the 7th book are being reshot due to a rushed impression the cast and crew had. Filming on the actual King's Cross Station was harder than they had originally thought. The reshoots will take place in Leavesden Studios to give the film a proper ending.

During production at Leavesden, Radcliffe's stunt double David Holmes suffered a serious spinal injury during the filming of an aerial sequence, which left him paralysed. Holmes fell to the ground following an explosion which was part of the stunt.

Sets

Stuart Craig, set designer for all of the previous Harry Potter films, returned for final two parts. He commented, "Inevitably, the book has to be so condensed. There's been a great deal of tolerance on the part of the public – at least I think so. I could be proved wrong, still." On the wedding tent for Bill and Fleur's wedding he said, "The wedding tent, where the reception is held, rather than make it an extension of the house, which is rather eccentric, homemade, we decided to make it rather elegant, ... , It's lined with silk and beautiful, floating candelabra. So it's a nice contrast with the house." For the Ministry of Magic set, he noted, "This is an underground world; this is a ministry, so we went to the real ministries, the muggle ministries – Whitehall, in London – and decided that our magical ministry was kind of a parallel universe to these real ministries."

Soundtrack

Composer Nicholas Hooper, who scored Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince, did not return for Deathly Hallows. Instead, Alexandre Desplat was hired to compose the score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Desplat composed throughout the summer of 2010 and the recording sessions began on 14 August with the London Symphony Orchestra. The supervising orchestrator on Deathly Hallows, Conrad Pope, (also one of the orchestrators on the first three Potter films) collaborated with Desplat and commented that the music is "exciting and vigorous" and "those who love melodies, harmonies and emotions in their film scores should be pleased. Reminds one of the old days." The Part 1 soundtrack was released on 16 November 2010, three days before the film's release date, while a special Collector's Edition with bonus tracks and memorabilia will be released on 21 December.

Director David Yates stated that he was eager to work with original Potter composer John Williams on the score for Part 2, but it was not possible due to their conflicting schedules. It was confirmed via the Warner Bros. website that Part 1 composer, Alexandre Desplat, was set to return for Part 2. In an interview with Film Music Magazine, Desplat stated that scoring Part 2 is "a great challenge" and that he has "a lot of expectations to fulfill and a great deal of work" ahead of him.

Not included on the soundtrack is "O Children" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Director David Yates accompanied it to a scene not included in the book, where Harry and Hermione share a dance in their tent after Ron leaves, to "capture the tension and friendship and love that they share together.” He listened to "hundreds" of tracks from Music Supervisor Matt Biffa, "because I needed a piece of music that was poignant and tender but oddly uplifting. And I came across Nick's piece and I loved it immediately. It has that capacity to lift you up and break your heart at the same time."

The trailer music for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows features two tracks, both from Brand X. Track one is called "The Sorcerer's Secret" and plays on the first three teasers for the film, while the second track, also from Brand X, plays on the trailer for both parts. The third trailer, which promotes only Part 1, features three new tracks: Amphibious Zoo's "Ghost of War", Position Music's "Menace", and finally from the Immediate Music company, "The End of Days".

Costumes

The costumes for the part 1 film were designed by Jany Temime, who has been the costume designer on Harry Potter productions since Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). Temime has spoken about a key design: Fleur's wedding dress. She says she "wanted it to be a witch wedding dress but not a Halloween dress. The dress is white but it needed to have something fantastic to it. So there is the phoenix , the bird, which is a symbol of love in a way because there is rebirth, love never dies, it is born again."

Fashion commentators have remarked on a close similarity between Jany Temime's design for this dress and a design from Alexander McQueen's Autumn/Winter 2008 collection. The Alexander McQueen team declined to comment.

Marketing

The first official picture from the first film was released on 1 December 2009 (2009-12-01), showing Harry, Ron and Hermione in a London street.

Another trailer can be seen from Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4.

Deathly Hallows was represented at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International event. Several props from the film, including the Elder Wand and Slytherin's Locket, were on display. Tom Felton was in attendance and introduced new clips from the film. Warner Bros. International announced that a Harry Potter Movie Marathon would be held in various cities of Japan, accompanied by new exclusive Deathly Hallows footage on 11 August 2010. It was later found that there was no new trailer or footage from the film at the August 11, Japanese event, but rather the featurettes which had been aired outside of Japan.

During the season premiere of The Vampire Diaries on The CW, the first TV spot aired for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. It featured new dialogue from Voldemort, scenes of the Lovegoods' home under attack from the Death Eaters and footage of Dumbledore's ghostly apparition.

On 4 November 2010, a new clip was released from the Harry Potter Facebook page: titled "The Seven Potters". Two more were released for the next two days such as a scene depicting a cafe attack and another taking place in Malfoy Manor.

Leaks

Just 48-hours prior to the official North American launch of Part 1, the first 36 minutes of the film was leaked on the internet. Even before the leak took place, the film was already the fifth-biggest generator of advance ticket sales in history, after selling out 1,000 cinemas across the United States. Despite widely circulating rumours that the leaked footage was a marketing ploy to generate hype for the movie release date, executives from film studio Warner Bros. were adamant that the leak from the DVD screener containing the first 36-minutes of the film was not staged in any way.

Release

Part 1

On 26 August 2010, director David Yates, producers David Heyman and David Barron along with Warner Bros. president Alan F. Horn, attended a test screening for Part 1 of Deathly Hallows in Chicago. The unfinished film gained rave reviews from test screeners, some of which labelled it "amazing and dark" and "the most perfect Harry Potter film". Others expressed that the film faithfully adapted the novel, which led to an inheritance of the "book's own problems".

Warner Bros. Pictures was originally going to release Part 1 of Deathly Hallows in 2D and 3D formats. However on 8 October 2010, it was announced that plans for a 3D version of Part 1 had been scrapped. "Warner Bros Pictures has made the decision to release “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” in 2D, in both conventional and IMAX cinemas, as we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window. Despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality." Part 2, however, will still be released in 2D, 3D and IMAX formats. It is currently unknown if Warner Bros. will re-release Part 1 in 3D.

After much speculation, Part 1 received a PG-13 rating from MPAA for "some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality." The film also received a 12A from the BBFC for "moderate fantasy violence and threat." In Australia the film has an M Rating, for fantasy themes and violence.

The world premiere for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was held in Leicester Square in London on 11 November, with fans from across the world turning up – some of whom had camped for days in the square. This was followed by the Belgian avant-premiere on the 12th of November and the U.S. premiere in New York City on 15 November.

In Australia, the film had its premiere on 13 November at Warner Bros. Movie World, located on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Three hundred people attended the viewing, which was the second official showing in the world, behind the UK premiere. The film premiered in Kuwait's release on the 16th of November. In Israel, Estonia and New Zealand, the first part of the seventh film was released on 18 November. Many New Zealand cinemas premiered the film at midnight, on the 18th.

The first part was released across countries on 17 November 2010, with other countries to follow, while the second part will be released worldwide on 15 July 2011, eight months after Part 1.

Part 1 played in 3,700 theatres at midnight. Nationwide, it was held in 4,125 theatres and 239 IMAX theatres, where it held the record for the largest release of IMAX theatres of all-time.

Part 1 Box Office

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 grossed $24 million in the United States and Canada during its midnight showing, and beat the record for the highest-grossing midnight gross of the series previously held by Half Blood Prince, which made $22.2 million. The film also had the third highest midnight gross of all time behind The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which grossed $30 million and $26.3 million respectively. However, it has the biggest gross in IMAX with $1.4 million surpassing Eclipse, which made only $1 million.

The film grossed $61.2 million on its opening day in the United States, making it the fifth biggest single day gross of all-time behind two Twilight films ($72.7 million and $68.5 million), The Dark Knight ($67.2 million) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ($62.0 million). However, it was the highest opening day for a Harry Potter film in the series, a record previously held by Half-Blood Prince with $58.2 million.

Reception

Part 1

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 has received generally positive reviews. Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 79% of critics gave the film a positive review based on 198 reviews, with an average score of 7.2/10. The consensus is "Deathly Hallows: Part I is a beautifully filmed, emotionally satisfying penultimate installment for the Harry Potter series." On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, the movie currently has a score of 69 (citing "generally favourable reviews") based on 39 reviews.

Among other reviews, Variety gave the film a positive rating, stating, " Having made it this far, the Potter faithful won't be deterred by "Part 1's" bleak, inconclusive tenor, spelling phenomenal returns and raising expectations for a truly spectacular finish." The UK's Daily Telegraph also gave the film a positive review, remarking, "For the most part the action romps along, spurred by some impressive special effects," adding, "It’s just slightly disappointing that, with the momentum having been established so effectively, we now have to wait until next year to enjoy the rest of the ride." Roger Ebert awarded the first part three out of four stars, praising the cast and calling it "a handsome and sometimes harrowing film... completely unintelligible for anyone coming to the series for the first time". Newsweek had a negative review in its November 15 issue.
