The Harry Potter books and films are monumental achievements, and while the review that follows is ostensibly about “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1),” it is difficult (verging on impossible) to separate this part from the whole.
To begin, the books were -- you should pardon the expression -- magical, in that they captivated a generation of young people and made them (and their parents) read. Books. In print.
Then came the films. In every case, the adaptations were both excellent and faithful. More amazing, perhaps, is that the filmmakers were able to forge an ensemble of actors who stuck with the project for an entire decade -- always wearing undergarments in public, never imbibing in excess while in view of TMZ cameras and generally avoiding ego trips. The focus always remained firmly on the story, not the actors.
