Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1

From Tysto commentaries:

At last Harry Potter leaves the stifling confines of the musty old castle and takes to the great outdoors! For ages and ages and ages while nothing happens. Join me as I try to make the best of it, but ultimately this is one of my least favorites of the series because there’s so little actual plot at the same time that there is so little actual drama.

I discuss themes (or the lack thereof), the romance (or lack thereof), motivations, the pleasant development of the actors, and the really good infiltration of the Ministry sequence. But I mostly complain about how Hermione does practically EVERYTHING even at this point, when Harry should be stepping up as hero.

We could see a little dog running around the Granger household, and [Hermione] could just put the dog in place of her face. … It would have been less touching, but hilarious. — Tysto Commentaries,

[as Dumbledore] Oh, Harry, I’m falling! Don’t look in the cardboard box under my bed! — Tysto Commentaries,

‘Deserves that. Brilliant he was,’ she says. … Ron casting spells that actually have a positive effect?! Man, that would’ve been somethin’ to see! But no, of course not. We don’t see that. — Tysto Commentaries,

This is the only way they have to get to work? Flushing themselves down a toilet every day!? It’s a statement, I suppose, about civil service in England, I guess. — Tysto Commentaries,

Hey, look! There’s plot in the background! .. Yes, Harry, look over there! … [as Hermione] I think there’s some plot watching us by the church. — Tysto Commentaries,

Hermione keeps taking us to places that … were important to her at some point. I’m afraid … we’re going to end up apparating into the bedroom that Viktor Krum used when he came to Hogwarts. — Tysto Commentaries,

The storybook of children’s stories—the Beetle the Bard stories—it’s got Babbity Rabbity, and it’s also got the story of three brothers failing to defeat Death itself. — Tysto Commentaries,
