Good but Disappointing
This movie is a lot like that Genius student we all knew in College,who could have had a 4.0 but did not study and instead got a 3.0. Thefact that this movie is good is more a testament to how great the storyis. If you read the book you know some of the most important parts wereeither; excluded, rushed or just done badly. But in the end the overallstory is so amazing that even a stripped down version is satisfying.Still the most disappointing part is that by splitting the book into 2movies they had enough time to cover everything decently well. Insteadthey wasted time on irrelevant added scenes instead of showing the mainfight/ending the way it should have been. In the end Harry andVoldemort circle each other as EVERYONE watched and Harry explained toVoldemort just how badly he had beaten him. In the end he even gave hima chance to feel remorse which he did not, Voldemort Loss is theultimate Lost and Harry victory is the ultimate victory. But in themovie this is reduced to 3d effects. On top of that after the fight wasover you could not tell if they had won or lost. There was nocelebration, Hagrid patted Harry in the back like he had just won thespelling bee. I mean even if you did not read the book this isdisappointing at that moment Harry just beat the most dangerous wizardof all time! he just ended the war! where is the celebration? There ismore i could go into like how they rushed the pensive scene with thememories of Snape, but is useless because in the end people who justwatch the movies are satisfied. But people who read the books know thatit should have been amazing and instead it was just good.

The series ends!
Hope you guys have read the official story line.Important - because of the 8.1 rating here at IMDb - I went in with toohigh an expectation and came out a little disappointed. The graphicswas just fantastic, camera work, beautiful places/sets, everything wasalmost perfect, still........ Keep your expectations in check, then themovie might seem better.For a person like me who has not read any of the Potter books (though Ihave seen all the movies), the characters are not too intimate to me,so the story and what finally happens to them were not too important.So this was like just another movie.I was left wondering what all this commotion was about Harry Potter,kids having an almost cult like following to it! I remember having readmany Enid Blyton series, Hardy Boys etc., none had made me or my peersso crazy! (Or was it just the media blowing things out of proportion?)Even the high rating here, might be because of kids giving a 10 justbecause they are fans.Also in the movie please don't expect some big twist or revelation. AndI still feel the 1st movie was the best, this and all the others thatcame after felt so similar.Definitely Recommended. At the very least it is closure.Cheers!

Good Movie, But a Disappointing & Unsatisfying End to the series...
Overall, it may be said that the movie was good. The direction,cinematography & the special effects were brilliantly executed. Theacting was good too. The children have grown so much.But, this isn't the way The Harry Potter saga was meant to end. A moviewhich is supposed to mark the End of an Era could have been muchbetter. With the expectations I had, I was a little disappointed. ItDID NOT have the depth and the emotional impact WASN'T nearly as goodas the book. I was pleased with Part 1 because it stuck very well to the book.That's what I was expecting with this too. But no... they had to spoilit. What's the use of making the movie in two parts if they can't dojustice to the book? They should have made it a Trilogy (as all greatmovies are made, like 'The Godfather Trilogy', 'The LOTR Trilogy',original 'Star Wars Trilogy', The Bourne Trilogy', etc.) or they shouldhave increased the length of the 2 parts. Who forced them to fit thewhole thing within 2hrs.15mins. each. ??(Every part of LOTR is over3&1/2 hrs. long. No one had an issue with it). . *** SPOILERS **THE GOOD :- Snape's and Voldemort's characters were played quite well.- Throughout the series, Snape has been rather emotionless andmonotonous. But, in the pensieve, we see a refreshingly new emotionalside of him.- Gringott's scene was nicely shown.- They added the scene where Hermione & Ron destroy Hufflepuff's cup.- They show the future (19 years later) scene. I thought it would becut.THE BAD : (I have to mention these because I was disappointed as hell)- My Biggest Disappointment - Snape's Memories. They showed the wholething within a minute. They're some of the most interesting & touchingscenes of the story. They just rushed through it, even excluding manyof the memories. - Fred's death. They don't even show it. Then later it was ridiculousto see Mrs. Weasley angry at Bellatrix when the latter was fightingGinny.- The battle was too short and didn't the magnitude and impact as inthe book, with Centaurs, Goblins/Kreecher, Hagrid/Spiders, Ghosts, etc.- They don't show the Common Rooms. I always imagined it while readingthe books. But I badly wanted to see them in the movie.- They don't show Harry using the Cruciatus Curse on the one of theCarrows.- They wasted time in Nagini's chase.- They don't mention about Teddy Lupin and that Harry was hisGodfather. They don't mention the names of Harry's other two kids.- No mention about the significance of the horcruxes.- No mention of Bloody Baron and his link with Ravenclaw's diadem.- No mention about how the Invisibility Cloak came into the possessionof the Potters, how Harry and Voldemort are related through thePeverell brothers.- They don't show how Dumbledore communicated with Snape after he died.- Harry doesn't even mend is wand. He directly snaps the Elder Wandinto two pieces...- In the future scene, all the funny and cheerful dialogues areexcluded. Everyone's just smiling and staring at each other. Andmoreover, none of the them seemed in their late thirties. Didn't thefilm-makers have enough money to hire good make-up artists.THE UGLY :- Dumbledore's Story. He's my most favourite character in the book.There's nothing about him in the movie. They just say he had secrets(what secrets??). They don't even tell the story of Dumbledore sister,Ariana. They don't show him getting emotional at King's Cross.- The use of ridiculous one-liners and humourless jokes when thesituation is so intense and sad.- Harry & Voldemort had their final fight in the middle of nowhere. Noone was even around to watch it. (In the book, they were in the middleof the whole crowd.)- Bellatrix and Voldemort die bursting into confetti!ALL IN ALL, it wasn't the send-off the series deserved. Someone who hasgrown up reading the books and watching the movies in the series willunderstand my woes...

Hallows 2 - fumbles at the goal line.
While following the advice of professional critics I went to the 2Dviewing Of Deathly Hallows part 2. Some of the recent installments hadbeen pretty dark and the 3D glasses were supposed to make this worse.The film seemed a little unlike the previous Potter films. Most Potterfilms have us seeing the story through the eyes of Harry, Hermione andRon. Hallows 2 was a little impersonal toward our Heroes. The filmseemed rushed and shortcuts were taken that eliminated the dialogue weneeded to really feel the leading characters pain. Harry in the filmcan now 'feel' the Horcruxes when near, and sees their location throughVoldemort's mind. Hard to imagine Voldemort making such a mistake, butthis technique allowed the filmmakers to shorten the dialogue. This wasprobably a result of the story being delivered in two parts. The lastreal character development of Harry, Hermione and Ron was in Hallows 1.Hallows 2 it seems, was meant to be an action film. Also new to thefilm were efforts to create humor by throwing in one-liners from timeto time.I thought the film stayed fairly close to Rowling's story, until theend at least. After the Kings Cross scene, the film began to divergegreatly from the book. I wondered if this was because better 3Dpossibilities were attained with these changes. I watched the movieagain in 3D. It wasn't darker than the 2D version and the 3D seemed tohelp the film. However, I'm completely puzzled why the ending waschanged the way it was. After waiting for more than a decade for thefinal showdown, it's unfortunate we got shorted here. The originalending by Rowling was much cleaner and presented more cinematicpossibilities, and simply made a better ending for the series. The CGIfor the early dragon scene was very good and I'm left wondering if theyjust ran out time to finish the thing correctly.I've come to believe most of the professional critics are cluelessabout this film. It's surely the readers and serious Potter fans thatcontain real insight into the series. However most people I've talkedto that didn't read the book were completely happy with the film andloved all the action scenes in this movie. Many book readers of theseries will be disappointed.That all being said - it was a difficult story to tell. Most of theloose ends in the series were tied up. Not too much of Dumbledore'spersonality was revealed, and that's probably a good thing. The finalfleshing out of Snape's enigmatic character were revealed. Will Rowlingpick up the pen once more to give us more Harry Potter? A lot couldhappen in 19 years! I certainly hope so - but not enough to give thisfilm a rating it doesn't deserve.

A better than expected sign off
Agreed that the adaptation was not much paid attention, but wasn't thatthe cruel case since the Goblet of Fire? Nevertheless this part did somuch better on those lines. Unlike the previous 4 installments, where the Novel fans would findthemselves comparing the plots, this one has you absorbed in its pacyscreenplay. Right from the starting, the intensity was brilliantlymaintained. The critical moments were carefully laid down. Thedialogues were better, be it the the heavy emotional ones or thelight-hearted witty ones. The small dosage of humor in its otherwisedark envelope worked well this time. The scenes weren't left hanging.They were thought out well. The characters were brilliant. The finalenostalgia evident. The post-interval saw a dip in the momentum. Though the screenplay andthe acting remained as better, the plot came loose at the end. Theadaptation level that was maintained broke down especially at the partsaround the showdown. That could have been penned better. The visualswere a bonus with the 3D. I would give a 9.5 for the start and a 7 for the post interval part.All in all, one of the better films of the franchise and signs it offwell.

Ending with how I liked
It brought me back to how it all started. To how I come to be a HarryPotter fan by reading the books as well after watching the first film.The theme music from the first film which was played when the creditsrolled in was a reminder of the more innocent times, of how like manyin the fandom, we have come to grow together with the characters. Butthere has to come a time where the series has to end.The film continues where it left off in the first part of the finalinstalment of the series, after the burial of the elf Doby. In whatwould become a theme for throughout the film until the aftermath of thegrand battle of Hogwarts, the solemn marching of the Hogwarts studentsin the school compound before the start of the film would become theembodiment of how much the wizarding world has changed. Harry Potter(Daniel Radcliffe) and his determination to search for the remainingHorcruxes apart from those which were already destroyed in the firstpart of the final instalment, and Lord Voldermort's (Ralph Finnes)ever-determination to finish Harry off by himself.After burying Doby, Harry Potter manages to convince Griphook (WarwickDavies) of breaking into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts afterGriphook was convinced that he would get the sword of Gryffindor inreturn. Harry believes that a Horcrux lies in Bellatrix's vault, whichwould turn out to be Helga Hufflepuff's (who was one of the fourHogwarts founders) Cup. He then turned to Ollivander the wand maker,whom was also being rescued from Malfoy Manor from the first part ofthe final instalment, to identify the two wands that they took fromthere which Ollivander (John Hurt) later explained belonging toBellatrix and Draco Malfoy, but Malfoy's wand has changed itsallegiance.Using the Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself as Bellatrix with Ronbeing disguised as a random wizard and with Harry and Griphook who areunder Harry's Invisibility Cloak, they managed to breach the securityat Gringotts. They nearly did not get to Bellatrix's vault, but withthe help of the Imperius Curse, they managed to get to the carts andonto the vault. After Harry managed to retrieve Hufflepuff's Cup,Griphook took the sword and turned his back on the trio, with the triofled by jumping onto the back of the dragon which was guarding thevaults earlier. During the escape, Lord Voldermort manages to enterHarry's mind and has been learning that his Horcruxes have beendiscovered and destroyed. At the same time in the vision, Harry sawthat the next Horcrux he needs to find and destroy is in Hogwartsitself and it belongs to another of Hogwarts founders in RowenaRavenclaw.When the trio arrived at Hogsmade, they were nearly being found out.But it was the owner in Abeforth Dumbledore (Ciarán Hinds), who is theyounger brother of the late Albus Dumbledore, saved them. He had seemedto lose all hope in fighting Lord Voldermort, but Harry manages tochange Abeforth's mind in letting them reaching Hogwarts so that theymay be able to find the Horcrux. Abeforth instructed the portrait ofhis younger sister Ariana (Hebe Beardsall) to find Neville Longbottomwho leads the trio back to Hogwarts. But Harry's Hogwarts return wouldeventually be found out by the new Hogwarts Headmaster in Severus Snape(Alan Rickman).For those who have stuck with Harry and his friends since the verybeginning (that means people like me), there are reminders of the pastin the second part of the final instalment. The most evident isHogwarts itself. It is a time when the wizarding world knows wheretheir loyalty lies in the Battle of Hogwarts, a time when NevilleLongbottom has really come onto his own. But even despite the gloomytheme which happens throughout most of the film which was expected,there are still spaces of moments which stand out for me. Harry'sconfrontation with Snape at the Great Hall, the duel between ProfessorMinerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) and Snape, and probably the mostheart-warming moment for me came during when Harry was looking atSnape's memories in the Pensieve, (the untold story of) Snape'sunrequited love for Harry's mother Lily which was shown especiallyafter she sacrificed herself to save her then-one-year-old son.A fitting ending to the series, bringing an end to which the neutralsshould like where the good triumphs over evil. Even if I don't reviewit as a Harry Potter fan who first got onto the fandom after watchingthe first film, it is an ending which I still do like.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 a big disappointment
Just like the previous 2 Harry Potter films Deathly Hallows Part 2 wasa big disappointment. Again many important and dramatic parts of thestory were left out. So many things were changed from the book itself,and that took away so much from the story and made the moviedisappointing. I can't understand how so many people found this movieto be so wonderful. I found myself during the movie just shaking myhead at how things were done in the movie. If you have read the bookand enjoyed the story you will probably find this movie to be sodisappointing in so many ways. Don't take my word for it though. Go andsee it for yourself, but don't expect too much from it.

Brilliant end to a brilliant saga
A brilliant end to a brilliant saga. The Harry Potter phenomenon hasbecome bigger with every movie released. Adding more to the (excuse thecliché) cauldron each year, and this movie was no exception. It is fairto admit that part one was a little bit of a lackluster, and needed alot more conviction and vitality. It only really had you on the edge ofyour comfy cinema seat toward the penultimate scene where Dobbytragically dies. However part 2 had a lot more to it, chucking youright in the deep end from the get go, which is to expect when themovie starts half way through a book, nonetheless it still gripped theaudience a lot better than the first.Similarly to the first though, it does drag on a bit a quarter of theway through, with the only thing keeping you interested is the concept,the objective, what you know is coming (which is explained to you atthe beginning) the mission to Gringots was a fantastic way for DavidYates to grab the audience's attention. Then, as soon as they actuallyenter Bellatrix's vault, it is a roller coaster from their on.The bulk of the movie is an action packed, heart wrenching, bloodpumping experience, which is very much enhanced upon by the previousmovies which lacked a lot in action. Each movie has been leading up tothis battle between Harry and Voldomort, a lot like the way Lord Of TheRings was building up to its penultimate battle, you therefore expectedto be amazed and in awe, which you definitely are.As someone who has never read the books, which I believe a lot of theaudience will have not done, the way they execute the plot twistbetween Harry, Dumbledore and Snape is simply magnificent. The moviegreatly lulls you into a false sense of knowing, you are made tobelieve Harry is supposed to die when he witnesses Snapes memories, butthe way Yates played out the dream sequence when Harry "dies" isbrilliant. The movie crush's one of the strongest bonds and is able torebuild it within a matter of minutes, which conjures up a variety ofemotions and the audience is merely left in shock.So yeah, the movie plays out brilliantly, and even the pivotal roleNeville plays lives up to what you expected in the final movie. The waragainst the Dark Lord ended on a high that had almost the wholeaudience gritting their teeth anxiously to see the outcome.Nevertheless their was one problem, why on earth did Yates ruin thiswith what i thought was an abysmal addition to the end, the "19 yearslater" scene, which I am sure in the books would have been emotional,was ruined by casting Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, TomFelton and Bonnie Writght to play their future selves. It added acomedic aspect to what should have been, in my opinion, a solemnoccasion. So despite the ending, it was a must see and a brilliant endto a movie that will "live forever"

10 years, 8 movies and $6,369,345,142 at the worldwide box office and Harry Potters journey comes to an end
Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell & David Yates, what do youknow about these individuals or names? These ladies and gentleman arethe directors involved in the greatest & the most successful moviefranchise of our times and I am guessing for a long time Harry Potterwill remain undefeated and on top.10 years, 8 movies and $6,369,345,142 at the worldwide box office andHarry Potters journey comes to an end. I need not emphasize any morethe box office records set by the last installation in the franchise isoff the record books and there is no better way for a curtain call.Falling just short of AVATAR and TITANIC, HP DEATHLY HALLOWS P2 is firmat 3rd place at the highest ever grossing films of all time. 10 yearsand I feel a very strong connection with the franchise and I am proudto say that I have been and that I will always be one of those die-hardHP fans. THIS IS IT! (Sniff, Sniff    )Leavesden studios 2001; this was the year that the set (studio stage)for Hogwarts (The school for witchcraft and wizardry) was done. It hasbeen standing there for a decade and finally she is being destroyed andit's hard to watch the great hall of Hogwarts in ruins and once brightand exuberant school now all dark and gloomy. Since Lord Voldermort(Ralph Fiennes) got his hand on the Elder Wand (The most powerful Wandin the world) which belonged to the great Professor Albus Dumbledore(Micheal Gambon) the dark lord has been growing in his powers and hasan army of his own now and is spreading the dark over Hogwarts. Harry(Daniel Radcliffe) Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine (Emma Watson) needsto find a way to defeat and destroy the dark lord. The answer lies indestroying the remaining of LVs' horcruxes. This is where HP DEATHLYHALLOWS P2 takes off. The search begins and you will be shocked at howit all ends! Without the risk of spoilers I think it would be safe forme to say that the movie does not pick up for about 20 minutes up untilHarry, Ron and Hermoine are saved by Aberforth Dumbledore (CiaranHinds) and then reunited with Neville (Matthew Lewis) who leads theminto Hogwarts through a secret passage way that was nonexistent untilthat instant. Harry confronts Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) who is nowthe headmaster of Hogwarts. Harry and his friends stand up to him. It'sat this point Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) steps in duels theheadmaster and drives him away and reclaims control of Hogwarts. Fromthis point on its war! HARRY POTTER is all that stands between Hogwartsand his non-nose nemesis Lord Voldermort.This by far has the highest body count in the franchise and from theword go it's all about death, and its mind blowing. (Harry Potterhaters will thoroughly disagree!) Seems like Director David Yates whois in his 4th addition to the franchise takes it up a notch, the wholemovie is darker, and gloomier and also surprisingly it's focused on amature audience as well I would say. With this I need to agree, despitehow Rowling intended the books to turn out, commercial interest has forsure played its part. The movie that was once for purely a youngeraudience has evolved from a children's start to X-MEN Last Stand/ Lordof the Rings wrap up. Consider the posters of the 8 movies and youagree. They get more mature and darker through franchise; this beingsaid it justifies HP is for all ages. Does this give you goose bumpsand does it make feel sad despite all the war? Yes there is intenseemotion that Harry and his friends go through and those of you who havegrown to love them will have a share of your tears, that being said (yet again) it justifies that it not just war there is emotion and it'swell balanced in that aspect too. Pretty good huh?At the risk of the cliché, Last but not least, let's talk awards! Shallwe? Lord of the Rings wrapped up 11 at the academy awards a few yearsago, I am having a great feeling that HP would be getting quite a fewnods at the 2012 awards. Will it top Lord of the Rings; I have no idea,let's wait and see.I am sensing that this whole finale must be much harder on the castthat grew up with the movie and who practically grew up on the studiosof HP. Not forgetting the crew who put countless number of hours intothe making of it. Imagine this, 250 days of shooting it took to put allof Deathly Hallows together! That's 250 days of hard work for them and5 hours of entertainment for us.Cast and Crew and writer of Harry Potter "Stand Up .

Worst of the lot
I have enjoyed the Harry potter Movies as much as anyone, But i canthelp feeling disappointed by this last one. Where the Deathly hallowspart 1 dragged out a bit, and left you feeling bored at times, Deathlyhallows part 2 is quite the opposite. It is Fast paced to a degreewhere it feels like the movie is on fast forward making you feel likeyou missed out on essential parts of the plot. They have also takenquite a lot of liberty in regards to the ending of the movie, and it isnothing like the ending of the book.Personally i would say that Deathly hallows part 1 should have endedfurther towards the end than it did, so the last film did not have tocramp 10 hours of story telling in to 2 hours of film. Cause another40-60 mins of film could have made this an epic ending, instead it justfeels hastened and unfinished, like the director was running out oftape or budget, making him take some drastic steps to finish itprematurely and unfinished.There are also some scenes in the movie that just doesn't make anysense, which was rather annoying as well. Overall the harry pottermovies have been great entertainment, but this last installment isdefinitely the worst of the lot, especially for those whom have readthe books.5 out of 10.
Scott Baldwin (07 May 2012)
I needed time to digest this movie's awesomeness before I could write a review... and now that I have...
...I can safely say this is the movie of the year.As a die-hard Potter fan, the midnight screening of this film willforever go down as the greatest experience I've had at the cinema. Justbeing in the cinema with people just like me, who lived through theirchildhoods with these amazing characters, who became our friends wewish existed... A truly phenomenal experience. I had never felt such asense of togetherness in my life. So to join these diehards in stayingup till the very beginning of Friday, July 16th to witness thisfinale... I must say that experience changed my life.And I do not exaggerate when I call this film the best movie of 2011.Believe me, this film has it all. Action, comedy, suspense, drama,emotional connectivity, amazing performances. Understandably this is the shortest of all the Potter flicks- theprevious movie covered 75% of the book, and so this film covers 25%...Which is a good thing because it shows Yates put effort into makingthis movie a big, grand finale. The movie moves at a fast pace, andboy, is that a good thing. One would worry that it would come off asrushed, but believe me, Yates did a hell of a job here. Sure somethings were left out and/or changed, but obviously for pacing purposes.I am aware of the changes, but honestly, as a fan of the book, I'm gladthey were made.The acting is what helps make this movie amazing. You could tell theactors were in a "alright, it's the last movie, let's live it up morethan we can" mood. Everyone hams it up beautifully. The full power ofthe actors' performances is used. In my opinion, Matthew Lewis was thehighlight of the movie! He always was the highlight of the other films,and this movie is no exception. He manages to ham it up as NevilleLongbottom, and here he is in full badass mode. Really, I am still speechless as to how awesome this movie was. I mean,I knew it was going to be one emotional experience, and thank god itturned out to be that. As the movie's ending credits began rolling, Igot incredibly emotional. I did not want to say goodbye to thephenomenon that helped shape my childhood. And you could feel thatemotion running through the cinema, when John Williams' score rangthrough the speakers.In short, Deathly Hallows 2 is phenomenal, the best of the series, andthe best film of 2011. Rarely have I connected with a movie asemotionally as I did with DH2, and that said, this was the right wayfor me to say goodbye to my childhood properly.OVERALL: 10/10Pros: DH2 is the perfect balance of crowd pleasing and fan service,allowing everyone to have a blast. It is a stellar finale that demandsto be watched, you have no choice!Cons: ........uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Acting throughout
This was a great movie i really loved the acting. The death of SeverusSnape really got to me thae way he had acted to his last words to Harryand the way he put on a dieing expression.The movie throughout was more than excellent and i can say i will watchover 5 more time even more perhaps.I have to say I was disappointed icouldn't get the midnight tickets! I am just not being able to take thefact that the series has ended,i have been a fan for only 5 years butharry potter means everything to me and I do not look at myself as someharry potter not-know-it-all.I also seem to be amazed with the make-upand acting of Lord Voldemort played by Ralph Fiennns (please excuse meif i spelled his last name wrong).
Stijn Declerck (02 May 2012)
It felt, disappointing..
I saw the movie yesterday, and decided to go see it without anyexpectations. Otherwise, it usually ends up being worse then youexpected. All I can say is, I thought it would be better...Let me start by saying that I enjoyed part 1 a lot. It had everything Ihoped for in a Harry Potter movie: the magic, the music, the acting andmost of all; the loyalty to the book. I assumed that they would carryon the same as they did on part 1.The opening of the movie is good, but after that it starts to botherme. The storytelling becomes a bit messy, and the beautifulcinematography of part 1 disappeared before my eyes. The editing isalso a bit awkward.. it feels unfinished. The music is good, but mostof it comes from deathly hallows part 1. What I can say, most of all, is that this movie had one beautifulmoment. WARNING SPOILER* The scene where Harry goes into the pensieveto see the Prince's Tale. That was beautiful put together, and it waswise to use Dumbledore's Farewell on this scene. The acting was good, everybody stays very true to its character. WARNING SPOILER* The "final battle" isn't really a battle, we see somepeople fighting, but that's it. It seems epic, but it isn't. A few good scenes can't make this movie.. I'm going to see it a secondtime, I hope my perspective will change.

End of an era... End of our childhoods... End of Harry Potter
What can I say... This was by far the most amazing finale any fan couldhave asked for. I cried, I laughed, I was short of breath in manyinstances, I was disturbed, but overall I was thoroughly satisfied withthe conclusion of this series. I felt something amazing after the movieended, something I didn't feel after reading the book. Being able towatch the end of Harry Potter on the big screen really brought theimpact of just how much this series has touched not only my life, butthe lives of everyone around me. Deathly Hallows Part 2 is by far (inmy opinion) the best movie of 2011 and quite possibly one of the bestmovies of all time. I don't want to give any spoilers I just want toexpress how happy I am with this film. It picks up where Part 1 leftoff, all of the characters get the closure they deserve, and the storyjust comes full circle!BRAVO!!! That is all I have to say. Thank you to everyone involved inthese movies for taking the world on such an amazing journey. J.KRowling, thank you for writing such a masterpiece that will truly liveon in my heart, and so many others hearts for years to come.Go see this movie!

Ponder the significance  there's nothing like this before, and probably never again
This is movie history, never before, and unlikely ever again  a storythat took 10 years and 8 movies to tell on the big screen. This lastepisode is a grand reunion of everybody who has appeared before, aliveor now dead (in the story, I mean), from heavy-weights (both meanings)like Gary Oldman (Sirus Black from way back), John Hurt (recentaddition Ollivander), Robbie Coltrane (always-there Hagrid) to a cameo,no-dialogue appearance of Harry's one-time love interest Cho Changportrayed by Katie Leung. It is also with poignant pleasure to witnessthe last scene (not counting the prologue "19 years later") where thetrio Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson stand hand-in-handin front of the ruins that were Hogwarts. No, I was not thinking ofHarry, Ron, Hermione, but rather of Daniel, Rupert and Emma who sharedwhat may consider the best part of their young lives growing uptogether in Rowling's magic realm. What emotion turmoil must have beengoing through their mind in shooting this last scene together! Havinggone through everything with them in a last decade, one really does notexpect to have any earth-shattering experience in this last episode.It's rather sitting back to savour the last 2 hours with all thesepeople we have come to know so well (too many to mention) in a somewhatmellowed frame of mind. The movie does deliver, and deserves a verdictof absolutely nothing less than "completely satisfying". There are somenew things, such as more frequent use of complete silence, or subtlestrings hovering at the edge of audio awareness, to create appropriatemoods. On the other hand Snipe's real character should be predictable.After all the double-double-double crosses, what final stunning twistrevelation can be made other than the one adopted? Also, this has beendone before, over 3 decades ago, in the most classic of all classics inSci-fi fantasy epics. You surely know which one I mean  to name itwould constitute a spoiler.Nothing more can be added to what has been said everywhere about MaggieSmith, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, and so many others that deserve tobe mentioned. The summer of 2011 will always be remembered in thesatisfying conclusion of an epic cinematic journey started a decadeago, growing up, regardless of your age, with the three little kids whoseem to have become part of our lives.

Best movie of the year.
I grew up with Harry Potter. I'm not as avid as a fan as some of myfriends are, but it's a definite part of my childhood, and I'mdefinitely suffering from what HP fandom is calling "post-Potterdepression" right now. Although the new season of Breaking Bad onSunday should take care of that. But anyway, I'd never thought I'd see the day when a Harry Potter moviewas the year's best, nor have a Harry Potter movie rank so high on thissite and actually deserve it's score. This is the best fantasy filmsince Return of the King by far, and possibly even better. My only two gripes with it are: *spoiler alerts* The deaths of Fred, Remus, and Nypmhadora happened so quickly theyseemed like afterthoughts. The consequences of their deaths areexplored very little except for one line: "One day, they'll tell my sonwhat I died for. You'll understand". I realize there are things inbooks you can't put in movies, but a small conversation between theWeasleys discussing Fred's death would've been a nice conclusion to hischaracter's presence. The scene where Voldemort arrives at Hogwarts with what he believes isHarry's dead body should be called "How to Write a CompletelyInconsistent Sequence." Everyone thinks Harry is dead, but then thescene launches into a dark humor routine, especially that now-famoushug between Draco and Voldy. Was that supposed to be funny? A couple ofpeople in my theater laughed, but I was still left with a badaftertaste. Stuff that I loved: Cinematography. Oscar worthy. David Yates and Eduardo Serra havecaptured the mood of the series far better than any others who haveattempted to do so. The underwater scenes were gorgeous, and the King'sCross Dream Sequence, arguably the movie's most important scene,couldn't have been done better. I was genuinely freaked out by theVoldy-fetus. Best shot of the movie: when Neville slashes snake's throat. I wantedto pause at that frame and just take in everything that was going on.Never before has a single shot stood out to me so much. Alan Rickman. Oscar nod? Maybe. Best performance of the entire series,by far. His death scene and flashback scenes were flawlessly acted.Everyone in the cast was great, actually. Neville's speech could've hada little work done. Overall, it was an excellent and wonderfully shot conclusion to one ofthe great fantasy series of our time.

The End of 10 Years of Pure Magic.
To begin, it was needed that the book be split into two movies, onemovie would have been too long, and would have ruined the essence ofthe book. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part two is what itshould be, an epic finale of amazing graphics, locations, acting, andabove all truth of the book molded into pure cinematic bliss.Like most books turned into movies the text is not exactly molded tofilm word to word; as in the case of the film certain pieces of thebook were missing, but what was put on film was still well done andunderstood by the readers.The Good: -The pace of the movie was explosive but easy to keep upwith.-The Graphics, absolute perfection! -The story -The acting, simplyamazing tears were shed by all Potter fans -The movie itself was good,but to be clear it was true brilliance.The Bad: -While the movie was still great without certain parts of thebook, it would have been nice to see the finale truly convertedstraight from the book.-the series ended! (but thats a personal problem :) The good out weighthe bad by a lot, but any true Potter fan would love this seriesdespite the little faults presented. Go watch it, and when it comes outto own, go buy it, and once you've done that treasure it, because thismovie is pure gold, and the series is pure magic.

Wow. Just wow.
*WARNING* If you haven't read the book and/or seen the movie, DON"TREAD THIS REVIEW. *WARNING*I just got back from an opening day showing of this movie. Read thetitle. This movie is great. No, it's amazing. No, it's epic. Heck, it'sall three! Let me say that, as a general rule, I enjoy the HP books aLOT more than the movies. That rule applies more to some movies thanothers (I am not a fan of the movie version of OOTP, to say the least).However, this movie is the only HP movie to be recognized by me as anexcellent movie that lives up (almost) completely to the book, andactually surpasses it occasionally! The amazing thing about this movieto me is it blends breathtaking action sequences with heart-wrenchingemotion. For example, there is a 45 minute period towards the end ofthe film during which I almost cried several times. The highlight ofthis is Snape's back-story. During this scene, they take most of thekey parts from that part in the book. However, towards the later halfof it, they gradually show footage of Snape walking through thePotter's house after James and Lily die. When he finds Lily's body heactually breaks down. At the very end, there is one shot of Snapeholding Lily's dead body and bawling his eyes out which maybe the mostemotional shot in the whole series. Another thing that the movie doesright is that it captures the epicness of the situation that Harry isin just like the book does. When Harry is in Hogwarts and he (slightspoiler) reveals to Snape that he is there, everyone gasps and theygain hope. Everyone is looking to Harry to guide them. It just made methink of the first movie/book when Harry was a little kid and he wasactually getting made fun of. Lastly, this movie, along with lastyear's Toy Story 3, should be the prime example of how to end afranchise on the right note. I can't stress this enough. It packs somuch emotion and action into the 2 hours and 10 minutes, and you can'tleave the theater disappointed. It gives you everything you wanted andmore. As everything wraps up, it finally hits you- this is it. As theposter said, it all ended. This movie, to me, symbolized the end of mychildhood, similarly to how the more recent movies have symbolized thesame for the main characters. As a standalone movie, this movie isperfect. However, having read the book, I have to point out certainthings. For example, they kind of forget about Dumbledore's back-storyand Harry's wand. Also, they add a little humor, a teeny bit of whichis kind of unneeded. However, this movie is still the best movie of '11so far, with Super 8 in a very close second.They've saved the best for last. 9.6/10

Fantastic Ending to a Fantastic Story!!!!!
Harry Potter is one of the most spectacular film franchises in filmhistory. And if you ask me Deathly Hallows Part 2 is the best out ofall the other films. It finally ends the long battle between good andevil. It all ends at Hogwarts where Harry must find the remainingHorcruxes to stop Voldemort (Crap I said his name!!!) once and for all.The Battle of Hogwarts is the most exciting thing in the movie. Thespecial effects are amazing and was directed very well. David Yates wasthe perfect director for the last films. The film has a excellentending where Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione's children all go off toHogwarts to start their own adventures. It is the perfect end to aperfect series. But, even if the movies are over, we still have thebooks too to take us back to where it all began.
