The Perfect Finale!

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2013)

The Harry Potter saga came to a satisfying end with this film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. This is the perfect example of how to end a series of what was perhaps the best film franchise in history. This is as close as it gets when it comes to being flawless. The visuals are outstanding and gorgeous in 2D format, a story that packs an emotional punch is being told, and we see for sure that after a decade in the business, our young three main actors have grown up.
David Yate's film starts off right where Part 1 leaves off. We see Harry, Ron, and Hermione hunting down the final Horcruxes which eventually will lead them to Hogwarts where they have a final showdown between good and evil.
This film is well-acted, perhaps the best acting I have seen this series. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson are essentially Harry, Ron, and Hermione in essence. I was very happy that Alan Rickman and Matthew Lewis got their dues in this film. Rickman had many scenes that tend to play heavy on the emotions and Lewis as Neville Longbottom really turned into the hero that made Gryffindor house proud. All-in-all, the acting was amazing.
Overall, this is the best Harry Potter ever made. It's fitting that it had to be the last one to be the best but this has been the best film franchise I have ever seen and I am sad to see it go. I was not disappointed by the Battle of Hogwarts. All the technical work that was put into it was top-notch. It was epic in the book, but even more epic on-screen. I was very happy to hear the iconic John Williams themes here that have been absent for quite a few movies. This movie had the perfect ending and I'm glad they did not screw that up. I admit by the time the movie ended, a tear or two came to my eyes. The Boy Who Lived will always live on! I rate this film 10/10.
