    Ten years comes to a close in grand fashion. Two hours of stand up and cheer, break out the kleenex cries, and closure on a series of movies that captured a generation or six :)

    Easily the most action packed of the movies and in reality its just the final act of a very long mov... read moreie. Watch part 1 before seeing part 2 just to make sure you have the set up all fresh in your heads.

    From Rickman to Fiennes to Carter to Smith to everyone inbetween everyone shines, not just the big names Radcliffe, Grint and Watson who once again prove that casting directors sometimes get things right. If anything the casting of the Harry Potter franchise get a lifetime achievement award. Spot on across the board.

    Deathly Hallows Part 2 was what we all wanted. From beginning to end we were given a ride that is for the fans of this series. If you are not, not sure whats wrong with you but move along. This is not a movie someone can just pick up and go along with, there is no emotional ties unless you have invested the time and energy into the entire series and than the payoff is magnificent.

    The Harry Potter films should go down in history as a masterpiece of storytelling.

    Despite the fact that some of it may be a comprehension struggle for those who haven't read the books, Part 2 is one hell of a pay off for fans of the series, with set-piece after set-piece and revelation after revelation finally coming to fruition eight movies later. Full review... read more later.

    Deeply sentimental and moving. Laugh all you want all you realists, but this movie truly brought the little kid in me. It is true to its source material, and it delivers just as well, only if one knows how to appreciate this film. Magical, it is; like a kid, I say.

    Part II picks up right where the last one left off. If there was any doubt that this finale would not live up to expectations, they were quickly squashed. The breakneck pacing and exciting action are exhilarating. The story wraps up nicely and the acting & directing is as good as... read more ever. They don't pull any punches and just throw everything on the screen that they possibly could with nothing held back. They even throw in some incredible scenes involving Snape, who is my personal favorite character of the series, that were not in the book that brought me to tears. The emotional pull is there like it should be after eight installments of being with these characters. There's actually so much going on all at once at such a frenetic pace it can feel a little exhausting at times. For some reason I have always liked Part I more than Part II (something I can't explain), but there's no doubt in my mind that they could not have done any better on this than they did. Kudos to WB for a fantastic franchise that grew up in the hearts of many (including myself).

    Spellbinding finale to one of the greatest film series ever made! In this concluding chapter of the Harry Potter saga, we're invited to a showdown of truly epic proportions. Not since The Return of the King has a fantasy film been this grand and exciting.

    Old and new alike, eve... read moren the smallest of characters gets their time to shine, as wizards, giants and all manner of magical creatures clash together in fiery engagement. And as for the deciding dual between Harry and Voldemort, let me tell you it couldn't have been any more perfect.

    Truth be told, I was really taken aback. I just never expected it to be this amazing. Especially not after being so let down by the previous two installments. But gone now is sigh-inducing teen angst, and back is the magic I thought to be forever lost.

    Emotionally omnipotent and breathtaking in the action, it's a battle of wills you won't soon forget. So as a last word to the captain of this great vessel, I just like to say the following: All is forgiven now Mr. Yates, for finally getting everything right. You started out good, became weak in the middle, but then eventually pulled out every ace in your pockets. And what a phenomenal redemption at that!

    It is kinda sad that after the brilliant and controlled first part of Deathly Hollows comes this messy final chapter in Harry Potter-franchise.
    It's clear that it was mistake to break the final book in two halves. While the first chapter did not suffer from this decision, it is ... read moreobviously this one that did. All we get is a one huge action climax which just happens to last two hours.
    Sure, there are huge and spectacular effects, but it all feels rather empty after the carefully constructed first part. It also feels surprisingly rushed as a film. There is hardly no time for viewer to feel anything or especially feel sorry for anyone because it all goes forward with such a hyper-speed. When we the arrive to the big showdown between Voldemort and Harry it actually feels indifferent and anticlimatic. It is also strange that when it's over it seems that no one even cared what happened. I myself got tired after the first fortyfive minutes and the last third was just mind numbing to sit through.
    So after all these years of Harry Potter adventures it is easy for me point out the best two films in the series. While two first ones by Chris Columbus were ok the first step into the much better direction and also first truly good film in the franchise was Alfonso Cuaron's Prisoner of Azkaban. It was nothing groundbreaking, but entertaining enough and had some style also. After that the franchise met it's lowest points with fourth, fifth and sixth chapters. That was until came the marvelous achievement which was Deathly Hollows Part 1. That was the film for me that made this trip into J.K. Rowling's world worthwile. It had all the right ingredients in their right places and will stand as the greatest and most accomplished of Potter-films.
    At least this final film ties everyhing together as a whole and does have one great twist in it's sleeve. But overall it is a shame that Harry Potter met such an hollow end as a film franchise.

    Directed by David Yates, Warner Bros., 2011. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith.

    Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery

    Question: Any Harry Potter fans out there? I know dumb question but I have to s... read moretart with something. I just got back from the final installment in J.K. Rowling's magical tale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and it far exceeded my expectations. Well done!

    About twelve years ago I started reading the Harry Potter books and found them fascinating, entertaining and wildly imaginative. It was a world that I so wanted to visit again and again. Ten years ago the first of eight movies was in the theater. I was blown away with the leap from book to silver screen. The first movie captured everything and more from the casting, special effects and the telling of the story of the boy who lived.

    The next six movies all did a fantastic job translating the tale but usually with a lot of details removed. That didn't ruin any of the movies but I was happy to know the deeper meaning of each film; and since this series of books landed on the best sellers lists again and again I knew I wasn't the only one privy to the extra information.

    If I had reviewed the first seven movies they probably would have averaged 8 out of 10 for me. Each one helping us delve deeper into the wizardly world of Harry Potter. Every character, spell or creature compelled us to follow the path to the next movie (book). So today when my son and I went to see the final chapter I was a little sad to see it come to an end. However, let me say, they saved the best for last! WOW!!

    I am not going to go into much detail like my other reviews, but I have to say that the final movie captured what I deeply adored about this tale: That love is the greatest power and what gives you the courage to face your fears. Many might not realize that this is what Harry Potter is about - they might think this is about good vs. evil, or learning to find your potential or just really cool magic. And, yes, those are a part of this wonderfully bewitching story but I always saw something more.

    To me Harry Potter was always about something greater: Love. The love of a friend, the love of a family member and even a love from a far allows everyone to find the courage to live even when faced with the what looks like insurmountable odds. And with that kind of love sacrifice is an easy choice to insure this world is a better place.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 finally revealed many things that were never answered or answered differently in the previous films. The storytelling was perfect. I remember when I finished the book I lingered there realizing I just finished one of the best messages I had ever read, and the same thing happened when I finished this movie. In fact, I started this review not twenty minutes after it ended. I couldn't write it down quickly enough.

    Now I don't think you should see this movie if you hadn't seen all the earlier movies. Sure you can skip reading the series but I ask: why would you? (My son is reading the books now and halfway through the movie he whispered to me "Mom, this is a 10 out of 10!" I smiled thinking the same thing.) Harry and the gang gave us a thrill ride and I want to thank them for a great time.

    The special effects were spectacular, the acting was spot-on and the emotions it evoked brought tears to my eyes, several grins and even a huge chuckle but finally a cathartic sigh. It was a relief to know that the filmmakers took the time, respect and care to tell us this perfect tale - a tale of love. That is the greatest magic of them all, don't you agree?

    My favorite thing: One character, who will remain nameless now, whose sacrifice was heartbreaking for me but probably one of the greatest form of love I saw on film.

    My least favorite thing: not one thing!

    Rating: PG-13
    Length: 130 minutes

    The consensus seems to be that the Harry Potter series saved the best until last; and I'm not going to argue - my opinion is that, yes, this is the best of the series... however, The Deathly Hallows Part II is hardly a classic, which should tell you something of the mediocrity of... read more the entire series as well as give an insight into current pop culture.

    The "Twilight" phenomenon, for lack of a better term, also applies to this series of films. That they all were a commercial success is more a nod towards rabid fanaticism then one towards stellar filmmaking (although I will admit that this last film had some wonderfully seamless CGI).

    I believe part of the issue here is that the books were so well loved - to the point where there are fans who know every bit character and would be disappointed if even the smallest of characters didn't receive his time in front of the lens. While this over the top fandom is nice (and certainly didn't hurt the bottom line of the film franchise), it hampered all of the films. Far too often a character would do what amounted to a walk on - often regardless of the pacing or situation of the film - just to satisfy the book freaks. For a couple of examples: Helena Bonham Carter's Bellatrix. She makes a nice appearance in Hallows part I, but then isn't really involved in part II at all (does she even have a speaking line at all, or do anything except cackle before being blown to bits? - and for this Carter gets major billing right below the 3 stars - wow!). Further, Maggie Smith is mere window dressing throughout all of the films until this last (as if to say - see, aren't we cool, we've got Maggie Smith in our films). But low and behold, Dame Smith finally gets to do something in part II - which is yet another reason why this one rises above the rest. It is full Maggie when she animates the guard gargoyles to protect Hogwart and then turns to an associate and admits with that so proper, yet with a gleam in her eye tone, "I've always wanted to do that spell".

    In speaking about Part II in particular; as I've noted, the CGI is wonderful, the acting shows depth, as the main characters, especially Harry, have grown into the roles quite nicely. Alan Rickman is the usual perfect Snape, and Ralph Fiennes does a nice job of voice emoting through the mask of "you know who". I thought the pacing was good for the most part, though once again a bit too much attention was lavished on bit players (a tighter narrative for the whole series could have been achieved with the judicious exclusion of several characters). Personally, I rather enjoyed the White Train Station sequence (where Harry may or may not be dead). I just wish the White Room at the station had black curtains - and so would Jack Bruce, I'm sure. The conversation between Dumbledore and Harry contains a nice bit of metaphysics - Harry asks Dumbledore if this is all in his mind and Dumbledore replies, "of course it is - which doesn't mean that it isn't also happening in real life".

    Really, my only major complaint in this final chapter is tag ending, which is totally superfluous and adds nothing to the story other than a happy ending (yet another bit of pandering to the perceived audience, I'm sure). The film would have been far better served to have concluded with the three friends (perhaps echoing the triangle that was the driving force for the entire series) standing on the bridge to the ruined Hogwart and, with backs turned from it, looking with determination towards the future.

Fiennes and Rickman get the actorly moments they've been building toward for so long, and the film is most fun when it sticks to mechanics: roller coaster rides, battle scenes, close calls. Full Review

It's a pleasant irony that, just as the first installments of Rowling's oeuvre were better suited to page than screen, the final installments have reversed the relationship. Full Review
