Harry, Ron and Hermione walk away from their last year at Hogwarts to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, putting an end to Voldemort's bid for immortality. But with Harry's beloved Dumbledore dead and Voldemort's unscrupulous Death Eaters on the loose, the world is more dangerous than ever.

If you loved Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the closest films we have are Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) and The Lighthouse (2019). All three share Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1's dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003).
