Adventure, Fantasy
A 65 Metascore on a quarter-billion-dollar budget is respectable if not rapturous, though the film's $954M worldwide haul suggests audiences were considerably less conflicted than critics.
Deathly Hallows: Part 1 sits above David Yates's own 60.9-point average across 8 other scored films—a +4.1 delta that marks one of his better-reviewed efforts—but it trails the 85 achieved by Deathly Hallows: Part 2, his best work to date.
The film lands just below Daniel Radcliffe's 65.3-point average across 18 other scored films, a negligible -0.3 delta that underscores his consistency, though it falls short of the 85 he reached with Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
