Part I of the Deathly Hallows is faithful to the book for the most part. Although a few things were cut out (such as the evil werewolf Greyback with the Snatchers or cutting out the Harry/Lupin fight in favor of a cute tent dancing scene with Hermione) the overall spirit of the movie was faithful to the book. The movie felt rushed at first. In the book there was more build-up with Uncle Vernon. On the other hand, Harry's contemplation of the little stairway closet he used to live in, you can almost hear him say "Wow, I've come a long way." And indeed he has. He wants no one to be hurt or injured and would rather go off on his trek on his own. But Ron and Hermione will have none of it. and go Disapparating all over the English countryside with the Death Eaters hot on his tail. Several scenes they got right: Ron's anger and jealousy with Harry and Hermione. The Patronus doe to the lake where the sword of Gryffindor is laid. The snake attack at Bagshot's place. And most amazingly, the great animation of the Three Brothers tale, as told by Hermione (and interrupted by Ron a couple times)! I can see a person not having read the book might have some trouble with parts of the screenplay. Reading the book clearly helps in filling in the gaps. The snappy dialogue and the deep emotional investment by the audience is wrenching. But the occasional humor (the tent scene) was cute. And the soundtrack by the London Symphony Orchestra was superb.Read full review
No scratches or skipping or damage, whole movie played great. Works like a new dvd, and shipped right to me, for half the price of buying new elsewhere.

Packaging looked brand new and the dvd worked although we only tried it for a few minutes. Hopefully it will continue to play well for our grandson when he watches the entire movie.

Great movie in keeping with the prior movies. A bit intense for younger audiences. I bought this to complete my Harry Potter DVD collection.
