HARRY POTTER IS FOR EVERYONE, not just potter fans
Harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2 is a great movie assuch..........high on action and great acting performances , everybodyshould give it a try and not discard it by saying "who cares , i'm nota harry potter fan" or "it's kids stuff" ...........don't misssomething for such lame reasons.........give the movie a try and thereis a good chance of yours falling in love with the movie . i might alsosuggest , the movie is good as a solo movie as well.......the story isapparent once you are 10 minutes in the movie , so no need to care alot about it's being a part 2 movie ,although if u catch up with thestory so far ,it will only help you enjoy the movie more . Do see it in3d for full experience , it had nicer effect on me than when i saw itin 2d the first time around .

"Do not Pity the Dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, all those who live without love."
Love. The main theme of all the Harry Potter films, and novels. It isalso why this series works. The cast and crew... and Rowling, lovethese characters, and this world. So we are meant to love it too. I had my hopes up, growing up, expecting the catharsis of what feelslike graduation from childhood, dreams, and magic. And being a fan ofthe adaptations of J.K.'s novels to film, I had high hopes. Were theymet? Mostly, yes.I do think in many ways this picture was stolen by Ralph Fiennes andAlan Rickman. It is so obvious how fine an actor Ralph is... he's donesome pretty stellar work. Here, he is menacing and truly 'evil'. Hedoes this well. However it is the two sides of him we had yet to see inhis interpretation of Voldemort that impressed me most. His dark wit,and his utter vulnerability and fear of his own demise. This is soevident in his performance. One of the greatest antagonists of alltime. Bravo Ralph!!!Alan's character, Snape has obviously been a fan favourite and his bigreveal has been much awaited. What a great character by Rowling, andwhat a great performance from Rickman, he plays him with such innerconflict. He shows that no mater what genre a film is, good acting...is good acting. In this apocalyptic reunion film, we get to see the group of talentfaces that have joined this series over the last 10 years. The cast isa true accomplishment. They are, without a doubt, the finest actors outthere. Even in smaller roles, Maggie Smith shines with love, the downJason Isaacs, the lovable Julie Walters, the intelligent MichaelGambon, and Robbie Coltrane who is viciously underused but still thelovable Hagrid we grew up with. But my all time favourite goes to thewickedly evil, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. She isunderused... that is a downfall of this picture. She is talked aboutmore then she is present. Oh well, she makes the most of what she isgiven. Bonham Carter not only gets to play the sadistic woman madly inlove with Voldemort (we get to see a little more of this), but she getsto play Emma Watson's Hermione as well. Helena you are my all timefavourite actor, and you do Potter proud!A big hand out to other underused, but much appreciated faces of thePotter family, David Thewlis, Gary Oldman, Miriam Margolyes, theremarkable Jim Broadbent, Warwick Davis (not so under used... butstill), John Hurt, Mark Williams, Kelly Macdonald, George Harris, EmmaThompson, Gemma Jones, David Bradley, Ciaran Hinds, and the finallyused Helen McCroy... she does a good job here.The youngest cast members have not only grown up with us, but alsoturned into talented young actors. Harry Potter himself, DanielRadcliffe... who I liked but often found wooden, does great work here!As an actor he deals with some of the more difficult emotions... againhe does this so well here! Bravo Daniel. Rupert Grint and Emma Watson(who is so beautiful) feel like the audience's best friends as well asHarry's. I can't think of a better compliment. And their much awaitedkiss... is absolute perfection. Bonnie Wright's Ginny feels present andtalented. Evanna Lynch has a great career ahead of her, her Luna iseccentrically groovy. Tom Felton is typical... he's given stuff todo... I guess, and he does a good job of what he has. Matthew Lewis hasscreen time. Kloves wrote well for him, and his delivery is sweet andcourageous. His exchange with Voldemort in the courtyard, as Bellatrixlaughs in the background, is one of the best scenes in the series!As for the other familiar faces of the Hogwarts students, good and bad,a shout out to you guys!Technically "Deathly Hallows part 2" is completely Oscar worthy. I donot pass this sentiment off easily. But it is. Cinematorgraphy isstunning, striking strong imagery. The production design is absolutelyflawless, with such incredible detail that not everyone sees, you myfriends need an Oscar! The editing is sharp, and the sound design isterrific. But what steals it all is Alexandre Desplat's touching score.It evokes true emotion, throwing in enough of John William's score, butalso adding his own mark on Harry Potter history.The writing is the best it's been and never rushed. The direction byYates is wonderful. You can tell he truly cares about the charactersand what they're going through. Would I have liked him to show more ofthe supporting cast, especially during the battle... yes, but we allcan't get what we want.There are times where it feels a little rushed, the whole film couldhave been 10 minutes longer, and most of my issues could have beenfixed by that. A couple plot holes, nothing major, but a couple. A huge thank you to all the cast and crew, every single person who puttheir heart and soul into this film, and the series it concludes. Youhave brought forth J.K.'s world, creating one that was easilyattainable to children, but also philosophically for all ages. We dealwith some huge themes here, love and death being the biggest.This is a fantastic, gripping, incredibly poignant and tender film,with all the magic and wonder of the first, and the excitement andclimax of what the last film should be! See this film in 2D, as it should properly be seen.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II gets everything right to send off Harry on a cinematic high
I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter books, they're all so great andmagical. But I didn't think the film series were perfect at all, butthey were still great movies. With that, I was extremely excited to seethe end of the film franchise, and impressed with the trailers. So Ihad high expectations. And thankfully it did not disappoint, HarryPotter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, blew past my already highexpectations and I was enthralled!The whole movie looked spectacular! The cinematography extremely welldone, the art direction was incredible. The movie was beautiful to lookat, the visuals were spectacular and truly Oscar worthy! The setdesigners, cinematographers really need to be awarded for their work,because it looks like they spend of time and money on the look of thefilm. The cast of the film was pretty much perfect, they should all beapplauded too. Emma Watson, as usual is and great and she'll have abright career ahead of her. Rupert Grint is pretty much great also, heis a fine actor indeed. Daniel Radcliffe did an amazing job and wasvery memorable as Harry Potter. Although I think Ralph Fiennes was thestar of the film, he did unbelievable job as the evil, crazy LordVoldemort, I think he deserves an Oscar Nomination for his role. Therest of the cast were also great too.We all grew up overtime with the series, we followed the adventures ofHarry Potter for around 10 years, I think. It seems very weird thatthere will be no more Harry Potter films to look forward too. I willmiss the franchise very much! However I am happy the series got anamazing ending. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is notonly the best film in the series, but it will probably be one of thebest films of 2011. Everyone should see this film, even if they don'tlike past Harry Potter films.

Different from the Last Book but still Good.
No spoilers on what they messed up, but let me say they got some of themain parts of the book wrong, which was devastating to watch. Theentire time I only thought about how 'hey that didn't happen... no it'sthe other way around... wait what?... they totally left that part out!'All i can say is that I'm definitely hoping for better stuff in thedeleted scenes. And it was not like they couldn't have changed theparts in the movie to be more like the book with out taking up moretime. Now why did I give it an 9? Well lets be honest it was wonderfullyexecuted by the cast and filming crew. The acting was the BEST, and theeffects were amazing. It also moved me to tears & shambles the lasthalf so i would say it did it's job. Overall I wouldn't say I'm completely satisfied, not the cast or crew'sfault but the screenwriter & director for messing up the little piecesof the storyline that make it wonderful.

It all Ends Here
Plot: It all ends Here Review: Well, here we are, the end of a franchise that started a decadeago. Let's just get it out of the way, Harry Potter and the DeathlyHallows Part 2 is great. It's an emotionally satisfying conclusionthat, yes, did have me on the verge of tears, I wouldn't say I cried,like in Toy Story 3, but I was close. Once again, the acting was great, I swear, someone needs to benominated for best actor, actress, best supporting actor, something.The visual effects were incredible, they weren't shoved in your face,but when they were there they were amazing. I like the fact that theending battle changing things up a bit so there a few elements ofsurprise for us who have read the books. The actions scenes are reallyfun to watch, and the comedy, for the most part, works really well. Italso has to be one of the best theater experiences I've ever had. Theexact opposite of the first one, in which the audience was annoying,this one cheered and laughed at all the right moments. And I just foundmyself laughing at all the screaming girls who were yelling at the topof their lungs at the Twilight trailer. However the film does have afew problems.For the most part, the problems are near the end, Voldemort sometimewent so over the top that it was getting hard to take him seriously.The rest of this review will contain spoilers, so it you may want tostop reading. Then there was Voldemort's death, I didn't mind that itwasn't in the great hall (which ironically was one of my dad's mainproblems), but I would have preferred just getting hit with the curseand flying back, did he need to blow up (oddly, I didn't mind whenBellatrix blew up.) This truly is a movie for the fans who read thebooks, because there are a few points that aren't explained well, suchas how Hagrid was captured, or that Lupin and Tonks had a kid. But ifyou have read the book then this really isn't that much of a problem.I loved the epilogue, I don't know why everyone else hated it in thebook, I thought it was perfect. And it was done really well here, thefinal shot of Harry, Ron, and Hermione had me on the verge of tears,and that famous "Hedwig's theme," just added to it. Overall it is trulya great conclusion to a great series, it isn't perfect, but I give boththis film, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as a whole, a 9.5out of 10. I guess there is no better way to end this review than withthe words my theater spoke once the credits rolled...Mischief Managed!

The Deathly Hallows: Part 2
So this is it, one of the most beloved series of all time has come to aclose. You know I was starting to wonder if summer blockbusters werejust tired of having some kind of story, great acting and substance.Harry Potter changed all that, not to mention it was a breath of freshair that kids wanted to read again. I did not read the books as HarryPotter wasn't the type of genre I would ever read but I did watch themovies to see what all the hype was about. I've always been verypleased with watching these movies, they're very satisfying, betweenthe effects and the story and growing up with these actors, everythinghas just been great. The Deathly Hallows was split into two parts asit's a very long book and I'm sure they wanted to get in every detailfor the fans. The last Harry Potter, while it was a good movie, it feltlike it was a little boring at certain times for me. I haven't seenthese films so close together and haven't read the books to knoweverything they are talking about so it was hard to keep up on certainparts. But this conclusion blew every one of the Harry Potter moviesout of the water and had a great conclusion with a tear jerker ending.As Lord Voldemort retrieves the Elder Wand from Albus Dumbledore'sgrave, Severus Snape has become Hogwarts headmaster. After buryingDobby, Harry Potter speaks with the goblin Griphook about breaking intoBellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts bank, suspecting that aHorcrux may be hidden there. Griphook agrees to take Harry, Ron, andHermione to the vault in exchange for the Sword of Gryffindor. Harryasks Ollivander, a wandmaker, to identify two wands they took fromMalfoy Manor. Ollivander says they belonged to Bellatrix and DracoMalfoy, but Malfoy's wand has changed its allegiance to Harry.InBellatrix's vault, Harry discovers that the Horcrux is HelgaHufflepuff's Cup. He retrieves the Cup, but Griphook snatches the swordand abandons the trio, leaving them cornered by the alerted security.The three release the dragon guardian and flee on its back. Harry seesa vision of Voldemort killing goblins, including Griphook, and learnsthat the Dark Lord is aware of the theft. Harry also realizes there isa Horcrux at Hogwarts, in some way connected to Rowena Ravenclaw.My best friend and her boyfriend saw this opening night and I had askedher were there a bunch of fans crying and she said there were and Ijust laughed thinking how silly it was. However I ate my own words whenI got a little teared up at the ending. I could only imagine for thefans who really grew up with this series. The special effects are outof this world and the show down between Voldemort and Harry was great.My only small complaint being is that Voldemort didn't seem as much ofa presence in the film or as much a threat, only being argued by thatmaybe he's feeling that Harry is getting stronger so maybe he's not ascocky as he used to be. Alan Rickman, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffedid the outstanding performances. It's not even a question of wither Irecommend this movie or not, of course if you're fan you've seen thismovie already. If you're the average viewer, I think this series isworth getting into. But it's a strange thing to say there will never beanother Harry Potter sequel again but who knows with Hollywood? I'msure they're having fun in the bank right now wondering how they couldbring back the movies.10/10

Worthy
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II was in one word: awesome.First of all the cinematography, the visual effects and the directingwas great. Second, the acting. Emma, Rupert and Daniel were once againgreat, and then yet again nothing special. It were the others that madeit. Ralph Fiennes was the star, while he put down Lord Voldemort in amagnificent way. And frankly, it wasn't just him that set the tone,Alan Rickman was great (and interesting to see how Snape too hasemotions), Maggie Smith was wonderful and didn't we all just loveMatthew Lewis as Neville? Rarely have I seen a movie which wasthrilling and seated me on the edge of my very uncomfortable cinemaseat, from the very beginning. I must say I think it can be quite hardto act when 'under influence of' the Polyjuice potion, but I reckonthat Helena Bonham Carter did a great job as pretending to be Hermionepretending to be Bellatrix. Unfortunately there were some lows in this film too, for example aminor plot error occurred when Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the Roomof Requirement with Neville. Cho was there, and I couldn't help butwonder, why? After all, she was a year older than Harry was, andshould've had her NEWT's during Harry's sixth year. I was lightlydisappointed that there were only hints given to Dumbledore's past,rather than telling the story itself. In my opinion, this story formsAlbus and Aberforth in a way in which we missed out on in this film.Another low for me were the deaths of Bellatrix and Voldemort,shattering to pieces. To me, just plain dropping death would've beenenough. I would've preferred seeing the film in 2D, rather than 3D, asI did. It didn't add anything special, instead it just tires your eyes.And lastly, I just didn't enjoy the epilogue. It was awkward, not justfor the audience to watch, but also for the actors to play, or so itlooked like on screen. Harry's little dialogue with his son made me,and others in the audience groan. But to set this aside, David Yates has done a wonderful job, and thescript was overall very well done. The film made you bite your nailsand close your eyes in the most thrilling parts of the movie, and thenyet again you burst out into laughter at some of those parts. I canhonestly say, it was absolutely worthy of my time and money.

Too bad ... Its over
Its here. The moment we've all been waiting for and the moment we'vebeen secretly dreading. For believe it or not, the fact is, that theremight just not be any more Harry Potter left after this movie. Thebooks are over, and with the latest Harry Potter installment, themovies are over too. And so, with Harry Potter, we've all enteredadulthood.First off, the movie was great. With the rave reviews it has beengetting, I was of the opinion that most of these might have been givenout of sympathy and an emotional attachment to the Potter franchiseconsidering that we bid goodbye to him and his circle of friends withthis. But the movie actually deserves all the applause its beengetting. What struck me as different about this movie is that it has aconstant feeling of movement - a feeling similar to what you get whenwatching Christopher Nolan's masterpieces like Inception and The DarkKnight. Even in a scene which could otherwise have been a simple dialogtaking place between two characters, the background score gives theimpression of movement - which in turn gives you theon-the-edge-of-the-seat feeling that you usually crave for in movies.And irrespective of whether you've read the novels or not, you'resurely going to enjoy this movie because you are well aware that thisis it, it has to end here. Either Harry has to die, or Voldemort will.Or maybe both ??? I'm not going to mention anything about the storylest I inadvertently manage to reveal a spoiler. Suffice it to say,that Harry, Ron and Hermione continue their quest of finding anddestroying the Horcruxes and hence attempting to destroy Lord Voldemortand in their quest, are joined by almost every character we canrecollect to be on their side since the inception of the Potteruniverse. For those who ain't read the novels, the plot is still simpleto follow since most of the explanation bit has been done in DeathlyHallows - Part 1. For those who have, they've according to me includedalmost everything they could from the novel. Dumbledore's past has beenleft out and the sequence of events and the manner in which they takeplace in the ending slightly altered but apart from that, its likewatching the novel come to life.The recent Harry Potter movies have become increasingly dark, not justtonally, but also visually. The visuals are great although the darknesssometimes makes it difficult to see what's going on in the screen. I'dimagine the 3D to have an even worse effect which is why I saw themovie in 2D and apart from the opening logo and the ending sequence, Icould not see how the movie could have been better in 3D than withoutit. The background score is simply excellent - just hear the bitsplaying during Snape's presence; they're haunting. The performanceshave come up too and again, although Fiennes as Voldemort gives us ascary act and Radcliffe, Grint and Watson are commendable as the trio,the best performance comes from Alan Rickman portraying Severus Snape.His eyes alone manage to convey a wide range of emotions, in somecases, with the rest of his body standing still. Its sad that he hasless scenes in the movie. Just like Severus Snape, Rickman here provesto be the secret star of the show.On the minuses, the movie is incredibly dark. Of course, consideringthat all the action happens during the night, it should rightfully beso but nevertheless, this makes things happening on screen sometimes,difficult to follow. Also, with the time they had, they could've easilyextended the movie by 10 minutes or so and included all of Dumbledore'spast. That would have added for some interesting character study from amovie's perspective and it would have ensured inclusion of the wholenovel in the movie at just a few extra minutes of screen time's worth -something Potter fans and even non novel readers would not have minded.Besides, they should have shown how some of the characters who getbumped off (yes they do) have died instead of just showing us theirdead faces. What is bugging is that they actually were cribbing of timeall this time along and this movie being 130 minutes approximately,they could've gotten enough time (in fact all the time they needed) toput in those extra scenes which would have only enhanced the movie.I've been preparing to watch this movie for months (three to beprecise). I've been reading up all the novels and watching all themovies again. It is while reading the novels for the first time that Irealized what I did miss on in all those years of my childhood.Nevertheless, the last few months feel as if I've been living in analternate universe myself. And finally, I was able to watch this moviewhile having read the novel before hand - something which I wasn't ableto do all these years. And now, its over. I have a hollow feelinginside me telling me that its all over - the event which I've beenmentally preparing myself for 3 months is over. Nevertheless, it was anenjoyable experience while it lasted. An of course, who knows, theymight re release all the Potter films in 3D later on. Which reminds me,who's stopping us from re-watching and re-reading Potter all overagain. For what it is, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 isa ride that's fun, scary and filled with a tinge of sadness. As a sortof a bonus, you even get to see scenes from the previous Potter films.A must watch. Long live Harry Potter. Longer live Severus Snape !!!Score: 8.0 / 10

touched the hearts of millions
I never thought I'd see the day where there is a movie that makes melaugh, cry, and scream all at the same time. The Harry Potter series isone that has touched the hearts of millions of people on this earth,and I am one out of those millions! The film Harry Potter and theDeathly Hallow Part 2 is truly epic. Joe Rowling created a world thattouched the hearts of millions, and David Yates brought that onto thescreen for ALL to see. Even though there were many 'liberties' taken bythe director, it didn't even effect the grade of quality. The plot ofthick, the effects were top-notch, the music out OUTSTANDING, and thecast had the great chemistry that makes you fall with love with theirwork. Over-all, the final installation of the Harry Potter series trulyhead up to its expectations. I watched it eight times in theaters, Iown it on DVD, and the soundtrack is next on my list. If you arelooking for a movie that fulfills expectations, and you can watch againand again Pick up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!

As a Movie, It's Spectacular - As a Closure to the Story, It's Horrendous
I left the screening of Deathly Hallows Part 2 in a jubilant mood. Asfar as I was concerned, it was a satisfying, thrilling conclusion to along-running series that captivated us all. When I watched it again,however, and subjected it to further scrutiny, there are several waysin which Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a very poor conclusion to HarryPotter's story arc.The good first. The film looks fantastic, that's for sure. The dragonin the Gringotts scene is nothing short of spectacular. The sight of aHogwarts under fire is breathtaking. The scenes in the Room ofRequirement and with the Grey Lady are memorable and linger with theaudience. The performances by the actors are top-notch. Our three leadsall deliver solid performances that do their characters justice.Matthew Lewis and Evana Lynch deserve mention as well, playing NevilleLongbottom and Luna Lovegood respectively. It is indeed scandalous thatgiven their vital roles in this film, theirs are names only included inthe final cast. Same goes for Emma Thompson, who admittedly has a smallrole but still, the two-time Academy Award winning actress really needsa better agent if she is not top billing. Most impressive, perhaps, isAlan Rickman. His flashback scene to discovering Lily is heart-rending;an excellent performance.Unfortunately, what pulls the movie apart is its really quitefetishistic attitude of "look how many special effects we can do",often at the cost of the story. The final battle between Harry andVoldemort is a particular offender in that; to anyone who has read thebooks, it is a ridiculously over-the-top sequence (with really cornydialogue, might I add: "Let's finish this the way we started -TOGETHER!" Oh please). Voldemort and Bellatrix meet their demise inways that have no relation to anything that preceded them. Neither doesSnape giving Harry his memory in the form of tears (that inducedparticular groans when we watched it again).I was under the impression that the reason the story was separated intotwo films was to do justice to the story. It is extremely ironic, then,that the film leaves out many vital things. Dumbledore's past -everything about Ariana, Aberforth and Grindlewald - is not mentionedat all. And the things the film doesn't leave out, it insults theauthor J.K. Rowling by feeling the need to rewrite things. Harry snapsthe Elder Wand in two - in the book, he used it to heal his old wandand then left it in the headmaster's office. Neville proclaims love forLuna even though nothing warrants that. There is a pointless chasescene with Nagini - in the book, when Neville dragged the sword fromthe hat, he killed her at that moment. One of the most infamous thingsis how Fred's demise is kept offhand - we're never even told whetherit's Fred or George! The battle at Hogwarts was much more epic in thebook, with centaurs and such creatures joining in the fight with theforces of good.The most disappointing thing is Harry and Voldemort's final battle. Ithappens in the middle of nowhere, and when it's over, there is no senseof climax at all. In the book, they battled in the Great Hall, in frontof all surviving characters. When it was over, there was enormousjubilation, a sense of climax that it was all over. In the movie,nobody even acts as though anything happened when Harry walks backinside. No appreciation, no nothing.Most aggravating of all is the ironic fact that for those who have notread the books, Voldemort's demise doesn't make sense. The reboundingcurse because Voldemort is not the Elder Wand's master is neversufficiently delivered to the audience, so newcomers will notunderstand what exactly happened to Voldemort.The flashback scene with Snape's story is then needlessly rushed andskips many points that pinpointed why, exactly, he and Lily fell outwith each other and why they couldn't be together. Also, her eyes,would it have been so hard to make Lily's eyes green inpost-production? They've only been talking about her eye colour for theentire series. Ron and Hermione's long-awaited kiss is set up much morepoorly in the movie than in the book. In the book, it was Hermioneseeing how much Ron had grown up - in the film it was "Oh, we bothsurvived, let's kiss".The way in which the Deathly Hallows themselves - the title of the film- tie into everything? Yup, that's left out too. Everything about being"Master of Death" simply doesn't exist in this film. But who caresabout story inconsistencies if we've got loads of special effects tomake up for them? Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a good film, but as aconclusion to the story, it is very sloppy work indeed.

Perfect ending to this amazing series
this movie was AWESOME! It may very well be my favorite in the series(beating out #s 3 and 5 which are tied) some notes on awesome parts, in no particular order (contains mildspoilers but I will try to be vague-If you read the books, there isnothing new here)-The way they repaired the damage from the 6th movie's lack ofinformation is flawless, it works perfectly and makes me so happy! Istill will rage about the 6th movie but probably not as hard :) -I cried when a certain character died and I don't even like him! Isobbed at his memories!-Harry is so awesome and bad-ass that it makes my brain go crazy.-The poor dragon! it almost made me cry to see him! they really arebarbaric to the dragons at Gringott's! -The Kiss is awesome! the angle is a bit wonky but that doesn't changethe fact that it works so perfectly! -There is a Snape vs McGonagall showdown and it is EPIC AND AWESOME!Mcgonagall was pretty awesome in general though so....-Neville is SO COOL and has come SO FAR from the bumbling boy in thefirst movie! (Heck even the 3rd movie!). What he was punished forrefusing to do in class made my entire theater gasp.-Molly Weasley is awesome and bad-ass and has an awesome sweater! :) -I could go on and on about so and so was awesome but really, everyoneis awesome except Voldemort who is EVIL AND NOT COOL

Very good movie. But don't go in expecting "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"
As a person who has seen every single Harry Potter film in thetheaters, I can tell you this: This movie was by far the best of theseries. However, it's not perfect.First, I will start with the flaws. The backstory of Albus Dumbledorewas almost completely removed, something which made him into the personwho he became. Also, many of the principles and explanations about theDeathly Hallows and the Elder Wand are left out, making the film feel abit rushed and confusing at times. In addition, we never understandwhy, in Part 1, Draco Malfoy would not tell Bellatrix that theSnatchers had truly captured Harry Potter. Only readers of the bookwould have been able to understand many of the events taking place.Now, with the critiquing aside, the positives come in. Here, DanielRadcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson truly shine in their roles.Gone are their wooden performances from the early films. Instead, wesee mature and highly skilled professionals who have a bright futureahead of them. As for other characters, Lord Voldemort is as evil andsinister as ever, thanks to a terrific performance by Ralph Fiennes.Meanwhile, Alan Rickman shows Snape's emotional side quite well, makingfor some truly saddening scenes. The character Neville Longbottomassumes a crucial role as well. In one scene, he takes out Scabior andhis entire army of Snatchers, an army numbering into the hundreds. Andthen, he is given the chance to shine when he beheads Nagini. And Imust say that the CGI and action were good as well. The Battle ofHogwarts was not only prolonged, it was made far more intense, dark,bloody, and dramatic than in the book. And, of course, the moviechanged the final battle between Harry and Voldemort for the better.Instead of Harry just telling Voldemort off, Harry shows his magicalprowess and defeats him, fair and square (with help from Longbottom andVoldemort's own foolish mistakes in dealing with the Elder Wand).All in all, 8 out of 10 is my verdict. While it was a very good movie,the significant backstories/explanations were either downplayed orremoved. Nonetheless, don't go in expecting "Lord of the Rings: TheReturn of the King", or don't expect a 100% accurate depiction of thebook; otherwise, you'll be disgruntled. Take it for what it is: A verygood ending to a very good film series.

A Magical Adieu: The Unbelievable becomes Believable
"Harry Potter" has become more than a magical book and film seriesshowing us that magic does exist making the unbelievable believable."Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" marks the end of an eraimpeccably concluding the franchise synonymous with our generation'syouth. Director David Yates ("Harry Potter 5-7") brings the series fullcircle perpetuating an emotional connection within the heart of theviewer that is nothing short of spectacular. Harry Potter (DanielRadcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (EmmaWatson) are the fantasy heroes of our day leading the fight againstLord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes, "The Hurtlocker") As the harsh realitiesof life set in with the death of Dobby the free elf and evil growing,the war is in full swing. Harry, Ron and Hermione are regrouping at asmall cottage planning their next move. Before the final test betweengood and evil is unleashed Harry has some final business to finish withVoldemort's last Horcruxes.As their quest takes them to Gringotts Bankand the town of Hogsmeade everyone's favorite characters from theseries are preparing for the last stand set to take place where it allbegan; Hogwarts. The problem is the school is in the hands of Voldemortwith Severus Snape (Alan Rickman, "Dogma") head master. The journeycomes to a close in an epic battle worthy of remembrance accompanied bythe relinquishment of the tale's secrets. The dead live on as AlbusDumbledore (Michael Gambon, "The King's Speech") guides Harry withinconveying that nobody ever dies in vein.The Good: Stereotypical artsy Oscar films beware as the world of magicguns for your heads. David Yates has inspired the minds of millions ofpeople with his interpretation of the second half of the series.Adversity ensued early on in the franchise, but it all came together inthe end. Breathtaking visual effects, superb acting on all frontsstarting with its stars and ending with one of the best supportingcasts ever assembled, make this is more than a blockbuster fantasy.Alan Rickman deserves his an Oscar birth for best supporting actor.Regardless "Harry Potter" has already won; awards would only be aconsolation honor.The Bad: Complaints for this film can all be attributed to perception.If you are a person who never liked the books, or disliked all of thethe films why would you waste your time with the eighth installment?This brings me to my second point concerning the film's epilogue.Personally I believe J.K. Rowling's epilogue can be credited tolaziness and is the weakest point of the series, but in order to fullyconclude the books, Yates had to translate it to film in some way. Yesthe film should have ended before this flash forward, but at leastYates approached it as a chance to have some lighthearted fun.Final Thought: Haters will hate, moviegoers have a reason to experiencethe saga, fans will be satisfied and die-hard Potter folk will beeuphoric. I bid "Potter" adieu one last time; thanks for the memories.

mixed feelings
yeah it gets an seven but sill... . I read all the books and seen allthe movies so you can call me a fan. But what i tought was the best ofthe last book is cut out in the movie : Dumbledore backstory. In wholethe series everyone thinks he's a great man but in the last book allthose dark and intriguing secrets . And the battle at hogwarts feltrushed to like you didn't see Fred's death and the battle between ms.Weasely and Beatrix was so short and not epic.And Hagrid was only like5 min in the movie.So yeah ... when i saw it was in the top 250 of IMDbi tought i was going to be great but there are better hp movies whodeserve to be on that list not just this one . But as always the actingand special effect were fantastic . The dragon looked really cool . Itis not as good as the others like so many people say . It was really anepic end battle between voldemort and harry : first hitting each otherthen flying and then on the ground but we all knew who was going to winso.... it reminded me a lot of return of the king but it hasen't thatsame feeling like: "this is the final movie , an epic fight" becausewith lord of the rings i diden't knew who what was going to happen atthe end .The series changed a lot : if you look at the first one andthen at this one : it gets darker A lot . But overall a seven : it wasa good movie to end the saga but not the best.

Books vs Movies
Spellbinding books and boring movies that's how it goes.If you haveread the books then you wouldn't like the movies.The director tries tomake the movie a good watch but it just cant match the books.In this last harry potter movie Harry Ron and Hermione search for theremaining souls of Voldemort and of course in good vs evil the goodside always wins.the story has a twist and some nice effects which makethe movies a worthwhile watch.I would give the movie a six star rating but if you really want to seethe movie then go ahead.But,believe me the books are better than themovies.

A MAJOR disappointment. *Spoilers *
We all know that films are never as good as the books they are basedon, it can be difficult to squeeze a book into a film. The DeathlyHallows if I remember correctly was over 1000 pages so breaking thefinal film into two parts seemed logical. 500 pages for part 1, 500pages for part 2, makes sense right ? Well no, whilst the first filmcovers about 70% of the first half of the book, the second film coversabout 20% - if that !!!The major issue here is that each book becomes progressively darker,death, relationships, emotion etc and to reflect the horrors that thecharacters were going through meant that the films should of been givena 15 certificate not 12. A good example of this is that you reallydon't see any of the characters suffering, we didn't see Voldemort setNeville on fire before he was able to pull the sword from the hat. Wedidn't see how Fred died nor Tonks or Lupin, these are surely hugelyemotional parts to the storyline.Where the hell is the backstory? Ariana/Dumbledore, Harry falling outwith Lupin, Snapes past was merely brushed over and yet I rememberreading the book and sympathising with Snapes infatuation with Lily(we've all loved someone who didn't reciprocate) Voldemorts death waslaughable, this was supposed to be the climax to the film, you wantedhim to suffer, to scream and curse, you wanted to witness the spectacleand you wanted all the world to see his demise but he sortof...well....pixilated, where were the crowd of onlookers to watch thefinal duel, to cheer Harry at finally defeating his nemesis? It was adrab, dull affair. Scripwriters, may you never again be allowed nearsuch a film for what you put is through was pure tedium.What made Peter Jacksons LOTR trilogy such an epic is that in the mostpart he kept faithfully to the original books, he understood that hehad the material in front of him...all he had to do was point a cameraand shoot, now I am not going to say the JK's work is in the sameleague as Tolkien but she had laid down the script..SO WHY CHANGE IT?All in all I gave this a 3....sure special effects are good, the actorsdid their best, Rickman and Maggie Smith have such screen presence thatmore should of been made of it but as Yates only told part of the storyI am still waiting for the rest.DON'T BOTHER WATCHING IN 3D, there are only two moments where thevisuals come into action and they are hardly worth it anyhow.Looking forward to the remake in 10 years or so....

Rowling's work has been abused severely...
Elder Wand works despite cracking??? What is going on in this film???Humor was placed at inappropriate times. It was supposed to be a hard,intense, fast-paced, all-out action, battle-hard, World War 2-kind offilm, but this is anything but. Those who are in need of a good laughmight enjoy this film. Rowling's wizarding laws are completelydecimated. Since when did Harry start 'sensing' horcruxes? Did Harryeven possess this ability to 'sense' horcruxes to begin with? In thatcase, why didn't he realize that the diary in 'Chamber of Secrets' is ahorcrux, and Slytherin's locket and Nagini in 'Deathly Hallows Part 1'are also horcruxes? In such as a situation, the trio would've beentotally spared the trouble of wandering around like nomads (searchingfor the remaining horcruxes) like they did in Part 1. It doesn't evenwork that way. But then the previous adaptations were so horriblycreated (if you can call them adaptations, that is) that thefilm-makers had to tie up the loose ends somehow, and the end result isthere for everybody to see. Oh yeah, Bellatrix and Voldemort burst and erupt like confetti whenthey die. And after Harry kills Voldemort, no one even cares two hootsabout what has happened. They are all behaving as if Voldemort nevereven existed in the first place, drinking tea in the Great Hall (noteven a "Well done, Harry"). In that case, why did they even fear tospeak his name for all these years?I am a fan of Rowling's writing. But the films have never lived up tothat standard. And this one, I'm afraid, is no different.

As an overall product, it's glorious. As a finale to a great series, what more can be asked for?
After months of waiting patiently, I have finally seen the second halfof the final installment of the Harry Potter film franchise, TheDeathly Hallows.In the film, Harry, Ron, and Hermionie are still on their search anddestroy mission for the final four horcruxes, items in which the deadlyLord Voldemort has laced with fragments of his soul. Only problem is,Voldemort is now fully aware of their mission, and intends to stop themat any cost. Soon, the three are back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraftand Wizardry, but the overwhelming influence of the Death Eaters hasnow left it totally bleak. As the dark armies prepare to strikeHogwarts down, Harry comes closer to his final showdown with Voldemort,a battle that will determine the fate of the wizarding world.Splitting the last book of the series by J.K Rowling in half was foundto be a divisive decision. Most thought that it was a wise choice, sothat it would give the characters more development, while others saw itas a greedy chance to milk the cash cow. After seeing Part 2, myverdict is this: Totally. Justified. Decision.Not only is this the best entry in the Harry Potter film series, it'salso my favorite movie of the year so far. It establishes a very grimtone, but finds an even blend of action sequences, and the occasionalhumorous sprinkles. The movie takes a little time to get into, but as aresult, the final hour of the movie had me tuning everything else out.The climax of the film is a huge rush of adrenaline, and the film'sending is a delightful return to the light spirit of the first filmthat has me itching to watch the series all over again, even as Ispeak.Also, the film's cast and characters must not have been easy to keepproperly developed. Not much of the adult cast are over utilized, butthey serve the purpose that they're given. Daniel Radcliffe is at hisbest, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson perform admirably, Ralph Fiennes andAlan Rickman stand out amongst the cast (And one scene involvingRickman is a serious tearjerker), while new entries to the cast, KellyMacDonald and Ciaran Hinds, make effective use of their small roles.And to the many technical crew involved with the film, I tip my hat toyou. The visual effects, cinematography, and makeup are mostimpressive. The sound design is exceptional. The excitement of watchingthe movie in IMAX 3D is gripping. Alexandre Desplat writes the onlyscore of the series that is successfully able to duplicate the samethrilling, and whimsical sound John Williams brought to the earlierfilms. But most to thank is Stuart Craig, whose years of service asproduction designer, coupled with the fact that this feature might verywell be his crowning achievement of the series, leads to me to say thatthe man, plain and simple, deserves this year's Oscar for BestArt-Direction. Case Closed.But like many Harry Potter fans, I stand thinking, "Now what?" I'm verysad to see the series end, but happy that the filmmakers have given ita worthy finale. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 must not be missed on thebig screen. If you loved the previous films, you will adore this one.I give it **** out of ****

A good movie even if you are not 10 years old
First a side note.Reading some of the reviews here by 35 year old guys who seem to beliving in their parents basements complaining how a movie that is basedon a book series written for 10 year olds isn't "mature" enough forthem.Looking to see what other movies they have written reviews for oneusually finds a good deal of Japanese animation movies that anyone witha girlfriend has never heard of.The movie:This is a movie and book series targeted to children and I had thegreat pleasure of seeing it with two younger fans(8 and 10). Both ofthem enjoyed the movie and I have to say that although I had not seenall the other films I also found it very enjoyable.It was exactly what I expected it to be, a film about a fantasy worldof wizards and made for kids and pre-teens.The acting was done well, the special effects above average and thefight scenes done without blood and gore. This really seems to angerthe 35 year old children on here.It seemed to be a good ending to the series and all the major questionsare answered, except for why grown men have so much of their livesinvested in Harry Potter movies, and it was very age appropriate.

Good, but could have been better!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***I have read all the HP books and some multiple times. The last one ismy favourite, so I was really looking forward to part two of the film.I thought I would refresh my memory by reading the second half of thebook exactly where the movie left off - bad idea. Why? Well, I wasdisappointed to see that many scenes where changed and key moments inthe book were completely excluded. What happened to staying true to thebook? I really enjoyed the scene where Prof. Mcgonagall said "do yourduty to your school" and then all the armoured guards came down. ButWHY did they have to make her say: "I've always wanted to use thatspell!"??? Seriously.. this scene was meant to be an emotional onewhere prof. is doing everything she possibly can in order to protectHogwarts. This was not the time to make a joke. I was also verydisappointed when Harry snapped the Elder Wand in half and then threwit away. WHAT THE...? There are countless more examples of unnecessarychanges when there were parts in the novel that would have worked onscreen.Overall, I enjoyed the film. My only suggestion is that you do not readthe second half of the book before you watch it. You will bedisappointed that crucial moments in the book were overlooked and muchwas left unexplained, which leaves the ordinary HP movie-watchers(those who only watch the films and haven't read the books) utterlyconfused. Devoted HP fans know the back story, therefore they can fillin all the blanks. If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean..
