Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2011)

A fitting finale to an adored series!!.....
I have been forced to write my first ever review and that too here on an IMDb(not that anybody was dying for it :P)...a lazy guy like me..such is the power and awe of this motion picture!..
Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows-Part 2 is one of those rare films you'll ever see that marries awesome action,jaw-dropping special effects with a heart-wrenching soul and the profoundness of the universal truth of good over evil,humanity,love,friendship and sacrifice.
Yates' final film of the series..not to mention last Potter film ever..(now never say never!)..is a roller coaster ride in every sense!...from the emotional scale of our beloved characters..to the challenges they undertake...to the evolution of the storyline..its secrets..truths..and lies..to the emotions we experience..as an audience.
Everybody knows the story..so i'll not effort in that direction. Daniel here plays his part(of harry of course)..with a maturity of a man grown older than his years(Clearly !) and shows a steeliness resolve and vulnerability of Harry unlike in any of the previous films.What i like especially of his performance here is the doze of believability and commonness of good he provides to his Uncommonly Hero of a character.
While the audience knows every page,word and hell....shred of the novel,story..Yates masterly portrays the story with such visual splendor and emotional depth that you are surprised and feel yourself shaking in those harrow,moving moments.
Rupert(Ron) and Emma(Hermione) both play their respective parts perfectly,especially Emma(she makes you cry more than one time..) and Neville too gets his moment in the sunshine..finally..and boy! he shines...so Matthew Lewis also delivers in that regard.
Tom Felton meanwhile plays his conscience-challenged character with such haunting and simmering quietness that you can't help but feel for Draco!
Romances are believable and heart-touching with the exception of Harry-Ginny..the principle one..that i felt the filmmakers failed to exploit the gravity of..! (This is my only quibble with the movie!!)
But none of all this makes Harry Potter such a persistently awesome experience until you count the Cast of the legendary British thespians..
Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) is exceptional..conveying the kind of ethereal evil..beyond redemption..that is Voldemort with the nuances of the mad-transformation he goes through not just in the film(when Harry starts destroying bits of his soul!) but throughout the series!
Maggie Smith(Prof. Minerva McGonagall) tugs at your heart..when she says,"Its good too see you ,Harry" and makes you laugh with teary joy when she says,"I always wanted to do that Spell!!" and Hogwarts comes alive!!
Micheal Gambon(Albus Dumbledore) is his usual brilliant self in that ethereal,surreal sequence with Daniel(Harry).
But the Star of the thespian cast is undoubtedly Alan Rickman (Severus Snape). His performance is so exquisite and heart-wrenching that i feel that he should definitely get a nomination for best supporting actor come this years Academy Awards.
This films provides closure to all the subplots and secrets and mini-stories and doesn't leave any thread hanging out loose.As so it provides a perfect closure to us,the fans,too....if that's possible...from this adored series of stories,movies of a generation.
