![]() ![]() The series was originally published in English by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom and Scholastic Press in the United States. The main story arc concerns Harry's conflict with Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal, overthrow the wizard governing body known as the Ministry of Magic, and subjugate all wizards and Muggles (non-magical people). ![]() The novels chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Potter fans will enjoy this film, hard-core fans will undoubtedly have issues with missing pieces from the books, and general movie lovers will likely love it.Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. I’m sure I’ll be re-reading and re-watching all of them in the years to come. I loved the books, and I loved the movies. Peeves aside, overall, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, part 2 was a great film and a very satisfying conclusion to the series for me. But that’s really just a minor annoyance. My last pet peeve was not getting to see Lupin and Tonks’ son at the end along with everyone else in the epilogue. I didn’t like the sudden scene switch after the fight to Harry appearing in the hall. He was critical to this last book/movie, and a little bit more effort should have been made to show what drove him, whether that was in more flashbacks or him asking Harry to see his eyes at the end (Lily’s eyes) which didn’t happen!! I liked the fight scene with Harry and Voldemort but where was everyone? In the book, they fight in the middle of everybody in the great hall. Also, I know other people have commented on this but we really needed more of Snape’s memories. It irritated me a bit when she just walks away with Draco in the end (in the book, they’re in the hall with everyone else). Malfoy lied about Harry being dead but it wasn’t really explained in the movie. I also think I missed something with the Malfoy family scene. **Spoiler Alert** For example, I thought the death scenes in the end were too quick for some of the important surrounding characters, like Fred or Lupin and Tonks. Definitely an emotional roller-coaster ride. The other half I was back in my seat bawling my eyes out. I was on the edge of my seat half the time. The effects in this film (appearance of the Death Eaters, the wand magic, the flying, to name a few) were incredible. It couldn’t have been more exciting or action-filled! I actually cannot wait until I get HP7, 2 on DVD so that I can watch them one after the other in immediate succession. Well, that was certainly rectified in this film. You may recall my review of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, where I said that the movie was comprised of many little bangs, and not really one big bang. ![]() Harry, Hermione and Ron make their way from Gringott’s and dragons all the way back to an epic finale at Hogwarts, in Harry’s words, to finish it the way they started it … “Together.” Hogwarts is under the thumb of the Death Eaters with Snape as its headmaster, and Voldemort is on the cusp of complete world domination. I can honestly say that watching the epic conclusion was an incredibly emotional journey.Īs the part 2 installment of the final book, HP7 2 really picks up the pace and the action with the trio of friends working to locate the remaining horcruxes and defeat Voldemort before it is too late. I remember seeing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone the other day on television, and thinking to myself, wow, Daniel Radcliffe is SO young and adorable. So many of us grew up with the Harry Potter franchise, reading all the books (me, multiple times, in fact, I re-read each book prior to seeing any of the movies). ![]() I will admit that I did see HP7, part 2, twice in theaters, and yes, twice in 3D IMAX. What an amazing conclusion to a peerless book/movie franchise. All I can say about Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows is that this movie was EPIC.
