Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) by Edward C — 06 Nov 2013

Plot/Summary, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, is the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. The much-anticipated motion picture event is the second of two full-length parts. In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.

My Review.

Harry Potter, the boy who lived... come to die.

After 10 years it's finally over. I cried in this film so it deserves to be in my favorite movies of all time list. And so the most ambitious and expensive undertaking in film history draws to a close. 14 years on from the first book hitting UK shelves, a decade since the boy wizard made his debut on the silver screen, and over $6 billion in global box office takings later, the franchise finally reaches its conclusion with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.

Mercifully, it's a suitably spectacular finale to this most towering of celluloid achievements; an emotionally draining journey into the heart of wizarding darkness, with battles fought, lives lost, and secrets uncovered that call into question everything that has gone before.

The film hits the ground running, picking up where Part 1 left off, with Harry, Ron and Hermione hunting down the Horcruxes -- items into which the Dark Lord Voldemort has embedded pieces of his soul -- and the three Deathly Hallows, which "He Who Must Not Be Named" believes will grant mastery over death.

As a fan, arriving at the opening night knowing that that would be the last Harry Potter movie I will ever see, instantly brought tears to my eyes; However, I couldn't help but to worry whether or not the movie I had been waiting for a life time would beat my expectations, and Im glad to say it did. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 and part 2 are 100 percent loyal to the books - or atleast as loyal as a movie can be - and that is why this movie is so good. This Harry Potter movie is by far the one with a more complex story, because after all it is where it all ends, the story reveals ultimate secrets and brings a final point to the story that changed a generation. . The movie starts right after part 1; Harry and his friends are still on the search for the final Horcruxes whilst Lord Voldemort is becoming more powerful, it is up to Harry and his friends to kill the dark lord before he destroys everything. The plot is highly convicing and it keeps everyone on the edge to see how it all will end. With all my heart I feel so satisfied with what Yates has done and the way he has done it. Another reason for why this movie is triumphant is due to the acting. The trio ( Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson ) Have not only grown in the screen but in our hearts, and so seeing how they have grown not only physically but in terms of acting is surely a big surprise. The trio gives a breath taking performance; each one with their unique style of acting makes the chemistry between us the audience and them even bigger. However it is not only the trio but every cast member that gives an optimum performance; Fiennes, Gambon, Bonham and ofcourse Rickman are all amazing actors that should be all time prize winners. However, its not the acting but the way the characters that we created in our minds from the book come to life. Over years the fans of Harry Potter are such as myself are being constantly disappointed by the Academy Awards when the prize for Visual Effects are not given to their righful owner. The movie is the biggest eye candy that I have yet seen . The creators are able to give a clear projection of what every fan has imagined, they make the magic come to life. Every scene is exhilarating and unique. Not only is the story amazing, but the action that follows it. Every scene speeds up our heart rates; the action brings emotions and thrills that make this a marvelous action movie. There are several scenes that should stay in history for its uniqueness. Overall there are sequences so powerful that make this an action packed fast paced movie, that isn't a millisecond boring, not for a fan and not for anyone. Finally, and of course the most emotional part is the farewell. As a member of the Harry Potter generation, Harry Potter has been beyond a book or a movie for me, its been a lifestyle. The Harry Potter world has given me guidance and given me strength when I needed it. Harry Potter will never end for me because it is eternal. Harry Potter couldn't have ended better, although it was a tear jerker, I can say that it gave the best period to a brilliant story .

Overall the only way I can sum up this movie is with three words Best Movie Ever.

Lord Voldemort: "Only I can live... forever.".
