Griphook agrees, in exchange for the Sword of Gryffindor. Wandmaker Ollivander tells Harry that two wands taken from Malfoy Manor belonged to Bellatrix and to Draco Malfoy, but that Malfoy 's has changed its allegiance to Harry. In Bellatrix 's vault, Harry discovers the Horcrux is Helga Hufflepuff 's cup. He retrieves it, but Griphook snatches the sword and abandons the trio, leaving them cornered by security. The three release the dragon guardian and flee on its back. Harry sees a vision of Voldemort killing Gringott 's personnel, including Griphook ( in which the sword then disappears ), and learns that Voldemort is aware of the theft. Harry also realises there is a Horcrux at Hogwarts somehow connected to Rowena Ravenclaw. The trio apparate into Hogsmeade, where Aberforth Dumbledore reluctantly instructs the portrait of his deceased younger sister, Ariana, to fetch Neville Longbottom, who leads the trio through a secret passageway into Hogwarts. Severus Snape, now Hogwarts 's new Headmaster, hears of Harry 's return and warns staff and students of punishment for aiding Harry. Along with Ron, Hermione, and members of the Order of the Phoenix, Harry confronts Snape, who flees after Minerva McGonagall challenges him to a duel when Harry reveals that Snape was responsible for Dumbledore 's death. Voldemort then arrives and demands that Harry be given to him in an hour. Students come to Harry 's defence and McGonagall gathers the Hogwarts community for battle. At Luna Lovegood 's insistence, Harry speaks to Helena Ravenclaw 's ghost, who reveals that Voldemort performed `` dark magic '' on her mother 's diadem, which is in the Room of Requirement. In the Chamber of Secrets, Hermione destroys the Horcrux cup with a Basilisk fang, and she and Ron kiss passionately. In the Room of Requirement, Draco, Blaise Zabini, and Gregory Goyle attack Harry, but Ron and Hermione intervene. Goyle casts a Fiendfyre curse and, unable to control it, is burned to death while Harry and his friends save Malfoy and Zabini. Harry stabs the diadem with the Basilisk fang and Ron kicks it into the Room of Requirement, where it is destroyed. As Voldemort 's army attacks the school, Harry, seeing into Voldemort 's mind, realises that Voldemort 's snake Nagini is the final Horcrux. The trio then enter into the boathouse, where Voldemort has summoned Snape. There, Voldemort explains his belief that the Elder Wand can not serve him until Snape dies ; he slashes Snape 's throat before having Nagini fatally wound him. Before dying, Snape tells Harry to take his memories to the Pensieve. In the battle at Hogwarts between the community, the Death Eaters, and Aragog 's children ( who had been driven out of their hollow ), Fred, Lupin, and Tonks are killed. Harry learns from Snape 's memories that while Snape despised Harry 's late father, James ( who had bullied him ), he loved his late mother, Lily. Following her death, Snape worked secretly with Dumbledore to protect Harry from Voldemort because of his love for Lily. Harry also learns that Dumbledore was dying and wanted Snape to kill him, and that the Patronus doe he saw in the woods that led him to the sword had been conjured by Snape. Harry discovers that he himself became a Horcrux when Voldemort originally failed to kill him and that he ( Harry ) must die to destroy the piece of Voldemort 's soul within him. Harry then surrenders himself to Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest and allows Voldemort to cast the Killing Curse upon him. Harry finds himself in limbo, where Dumbledore 's spirit meets him and explains that the part of Voldemort within Harry was killed by Voldemort 's own curse. Harry then returns to his body, determined to defeat Voldemort once and for all. He fakes being dead, and Narcissa Malfoy lies to Voldemort that Harry is dead after confirming that Draco is alive. Voldemort triumphantly announces Harry 's apparent death to everyone at Hogwarts, and demands that they all surrender. As Neville gives a defiant response and draws the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat, Harry awakens to reveal that he is still alive. An all - out battle ensues, with the Malfoys and several Death Eaters abandoning Voldemort in the process. While Harry battles Voldemort throughout the castle, Molly Weasley kills Bellatrix in the Great Hall before Neville slays Nagini with the sword -- leaving Voldemort vulnerable. The confrontation between Harry and Voldemort ultimately ends with Voldemort 's own Killing Curse rebounding, finally killing him and ending his reign once and for all. After the battle, Harry explains to Ron and Hermione that the Elder Wand had recognised him as its true master because he had disarmed Draco, who earlier had disarmed its previous owner -- Dumbledore. But instead of claiming the Elder Wand, Harry breaks and discards it. Nineteen years later, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Draco proudly watch their own children leave for Hogwarts at King 's Cross station.

For example, Ciarán Hinds assumed the role of Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore 's brother and bartender of the Hog 's Head inn. In the book, a significant number of characters who have not appeared since some of the earlier novels, reappear to defend Hogwarts in the large, final battle. Director David Yates said, `` I want to get them all back '', referring to his desire to bring back as many actors who have appeared in the franchise as possible for the climactic battle sequence in the film. Sean Biggerstaff, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones, Miriam Margolyes, and Emma Thompson reprise their roles from earlier films briefly during the battle scene. For the final scene in the film which is set nineteen years after the film 's main story, the actors playing the main characters were made to look older through the use of makeup and special effects. After the initial look of the actors ' aged appearances leaked onto the Internet, some fans reacted by opining that Radcliffe and Grint looked too old, while Watson did not appear significantly different at all. After primary filming concluded in June 2010, Yates examined the footage, and concluded that the problem could not be resolved through editing or CGI, and had the sequence re-shot that December, with redesigned makeup. Production Main article : Production of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows St Pancras serves as the opening shot of the film 's final scene, `` nineteen years later ''. Part 2 was filmed back - to - back with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 from 19 February 2009 to 12 June 2010, with reshoots for the epilogue scene taking place at Leavesden Film Studios on 21 December 2010. Director David Yates, who shot the film with director of photography Eduardo Serra, described Part 2 as `` operatic, colourful and fantasy - oriented '', a `` big opera with huge battles. '' Originally set for a single theatrical release, the idea to split the book into two parts was suggested by executive producer Lionel Wigram due to, what David Heyman called, `` creative imperative ''. Heyman initially responded negatively to the idea, but Wigram asked, `` No, David. How are we going to do it ? ''. After rereading the book and discussing it with screenwriter Steve Kloves, he agreed with the division. Sets In an interview with Architectural Digest, production designer Stuart Craig remarked on creating sets for Part 2. Of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, he said, `` our banking hall, like any other, is made of marble and big marble columns. And it has great strength. The fact that the goblins are the bankers and tellers at the counter helps that feeling of grandeur and solidity and the big proportions. That was part of the fun of the set : we exaggerated the size of it, we exaggerated the weight of it, and we even exaggerated the shine of the marble. '' About the multiplication of treasure in one of the bank 's vaults, he noted, `` We made literally thousands of pieces for it and vacuum metallised them to be shiny gold and silver. John Richardson, the special effects supervisor, made a floor that was capable of rising on different levels, so there was kind of a physical swelling of the treasure on it. '' Craig spoke about the Battle of Hogwarts to Art Insights Magazine, saying that `` the great challenge is the destruction of Hogwarts. The sun rising behind the smoke... the massive remains of destroyed walls, the entrance hall, the entrance of the Great Hall, part of the roof of the Great Hall completely gone, so yeah. A big challenge there and an enjoyable one really -- maybe it helped me and the guys in the art department sort of prepare for the end... we demolished it before we had to strike it completely. '' When asked about the King 's Cross scene near the end of the film, Craig said, `` We experimented a lot, quite honestly. I mean it was quite a protracted process really but we did experiment the sense of it being very burnt out very very kind of white -- so we experimented with underlit floors, we experimented with different kind of white covering everything : white paint, white fabric, and the cameraman was involved in how much to expose it, and a series of camera tests were done, so we got there but with a great deal of preparation and research. '' Visual effects Visual Effects Supervisor Tim Burke said that `` It was such a major job to stage the Battle of Hogwarts, and we had to do it in different stages of production. We had shots with complex linking camera moves from wide overviews, to flying into windows and interior spaces. So, we took the plunge at the end of 2008, and started rebuilding the school digitally with Double Negative. '' He went on to say that `` It 's taken two years -- getting renders out, texturing every facet of the building, constructing interiors to see through windows, building a destruction version of the school. We can design shots with the knowledge that we have this brilliant digital miniature that we can do anything with. With a practical Hogwarts, we would have shot it last summer and been so tied down. Instead, as David Yates finds the flow and structure, we are able to handle new concepts and ideas. '' On the quality of 3 - D in film, Burke told Los Angeles Times, `` I think it 's good, actually. I think people are going to be really pleased. I know everyone 's a little nervous and sceptical of 3 - D these days, but the work has been done very, very well. We 've done over 200 shots in 3 - D and in the visual effects as well, because so much of it is CG, so the results are very, very good. I think everyone 's going to be really impressed with it, actually. '' Producer David Heyman spoke to SFX magazine about the 3 - D conversion, saying that `` The way David Yates is approaching 3 - D is he 's trying to approach it from a character and story point of view. Trying to use the sense of isolation, of separation that sometimes 3 - D gives you, to heighten that at appropriate moments. So we 're approaching it in a storytelling way. '' In 2012, the visual effects in the film were nominated for an Oscar. The film also won the BAFTA Award for Best Special Visual Effects at the 65th BAFTA Awards in 2012. Music Main article : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 ( soundtrack ) See also : Music of the Harry Potter films It was confirmed that the composer for Part 1, Alexandre Desplat, was set to return for Part 2. In an interview with Film Music Magazine, Desplat stated that scoring Part 2 is `` a great challenge '' and that he has `` a lot of expectations to fulfill and a great deal of work '' ahead of him. In a separate interview, Desplat also made note that John Williams ' themes will be present in the film `` much more than in part one. '' The soundtrack for the film was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.

Critical response On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 96 % based on 315 reviews, with an average rating of 8.3 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Thrilling, powerfully acted, and visually dazzling, Deathly Hallows Part II brings the Harry Potter franchise to a satisfying -- and suitably magical -- conclusion. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating to reviews, the film achieved an average of 87 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. The film received a score of 93 from professional critics at the Broadcast Film Critics Association ; it is the organisation 's highest - rated Harry Potter film. On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale. Philip Womack in The Daily Telegraph commented, `` This is monumental cinema, awash with gorgeous tones, and carrying an ultimate message that will resonate with every viewer, young or old : there is darkness in all of us, but we can overcome it. '' He further expressed that David Yates `` transmutes ( the book ) into a genuinely terrifying spectacle. '' Another review was released on the same day from Evening Standard, who rated the film 4 out of 5 and stated `` Millions of children, parents, and those who should know better wo n't need reminding what a Horcrux is -- and director David Yates does not let them down. In fact, in some ways, he helps make up for the shortcomings of the final book. '' The Daily Express remarked that the film showcases `` a terrifying showdown that easily equals Lord of the Rings or Star Wars in terms of a dramatic and memorable battle between good and evil. '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film three and a half out of four and said, `` The finale conjures up enough awe and solemnity to serve as an appropriate finale and a dramatic contrast to the lighthearted ( relative ) innocence of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone all those magical years ago. '' Mark Kermode from the BBC said that the film is a `` pretty solid and ambitious adaptation of a very complex book '', but he criticised the post-converted 3D. Christy Lemire of the Associated Press gave the film three and a half out of four and said `` While Deathly Hallows : Part 2 offers long - promised answers, it also dares to pose some eternal questions, and it 'll stay with you after the final chapter has closed. '' Richard Roeper, also from the Chicago Sun - Times, gave the film an A+ rating and said that `` this is a masterful and worthy final chapter in one of the best franchises ever put to film. '' In one of the few negative reviews, Brian Gibson of Vue Weekly described the film as `` deadly dull '' and a `` visual overstatement ''. Other reviews criticised the decision to split the novel into two cinematic parts, with Ben Mortimer of The Daily Telegraph writing `` Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 is n't a film. It 's HALF a film... it 's going to feel somewhat emotionless. '' Other critics wrote of the film 's runtime ; Alonso Duralde from The Wrap said, `` If there 's one substantial flaw to the film, it 's that this cavalcade of people and places and objects can barely fit in the 130 - minute running time. '' Rebecca Gillie from The Oxford Student gave the film two out of five and wrote, `` at the end of ( the film ) there is nothing that stays with you once you 've left the cinema.
