Amazing finale to a great franchise

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2020)

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" was yet again directed by David Yates and is the second part of the seventh instalment of the franchise. In order to finally defeat Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter and his friends have to find and destroy the remaining four Horcruxes. Little do they know that the Dark Lord is in possession of the strongest wand to ever be created - the Elder Wand.
This is it, the big finale everybody has been waiting for for nearly ten years and it delivers. All the previous movies have set this up to be the big showdown the series deserved. The only thing that feels lacklustre is its pasting. At times this film can feel a little rushed, as there is still a lot to cover (the destruction of four Horcruxes) over the rather short runtime (at least for a Harry Potter movie) of merely two hours. This is just a minor issue I have and is probably a result of some other movies not contributing as much to the set up of the finale as they could have. Nevertheless this is still a brilliant ending to the franchise and overall an amazing movie.
