Why Two Parts? Either Way, The Finale Is Around The Corridor.

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2014)

Upon hearing of a 2-part finale, as well as the conversion to 3-D. Your instant thought, or at least mine and many other peoples were "Is it really necessary"? Well luckily for us, they couldn't convert it to 3D in time for it's release date. to be honest I'm all up for a 2-part finale, as long as the get every bit in and send an incredibly beloved series off right.
It was a bold move, and after watching "Part 2". I can confidently say that the 3D was completely unnecessary, and they could have easily gotten away with one movie. The only thing I can say wrong about "Part 1" is the pacing. It starts off well, and then we're stuck in the woods for two hours. It's incredibly slow and where it ends never really bothered me, but it can't help but be crippled by how much they would get done in the second.
Another thing I found strange, was that virtually out of nowhere dance that happens between Harry and Hermione. It's not bad or worth anything of a critical backlash, but it was just as awkward for us as it was for them. Aside from that it was really good. The trio are not going back to Hogwarts, and instead are on a private mission to defeat Voldemort once and for all. Tensions arise between the three in all kinds of various landscapes, as well as the head bureaucracy of wizards itself.
Final Verdict: The acting was good, by this point it was so good to see that the final newcomers to the series would be Bill Nighy and Rhys Ifans. Sadly though, this was also the time to be saying goodbye to Harry and his friends, as the finale would not even give you the time to do so. 7/10.
