I finally managed to catch this one. It was such a
rapidly-driven plot that I wished they showed the whole damned
thing. Voldemort found the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's tomb, grabbed
it and then the closing credits started. A real cliffhanger
indeed.
Victor Krum's involvement was cut out altogether, as well as
that of the Tonks family. Overall the producers tried to remain as
loyal to the canon as possible. The trap sprung by Voldemort in
Godric's Hollow using Nagini the snake to pose as Bathilda Bagshot
was scary. This film contained some very nice outdoor shots as
well. The cast had a fully grown-up look and it is hard to believe
they were once sweet little kids when the movie franchise first
began.
On the whole, it is best reviewed alongside Part 2 since both
are components of the same story and cannot do without one another.
After all, the original novel was a standalone piece.
