A great ending to the series, better than I expected.

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2011)

I was really worried about this last movie. Part 1 was good, but I knew that wouldn't mean this one was gonna be. Luckily, they pulled it of. In the beginning I was worried. It seemed as if things were happening to fast and that they didn't really make the Gringotts scene as big and meaningful as I felt it was in the book. Of course, if this was happening in the middle of a movie, which it would if the two parts were put together, it wouldn't be very strange. Still, even for that it was too fast, in my opinion. However, the movie picked up very well after that. Things slowed down, and you started to feel everything that was happening. Now I'm not an enormous Harry Potter fan, though I've read the books and seen the movies, so I might not even remember all the details that they might have missed. Still, to say that it was bad of them not to include more stuff, is unfair. Most Harry Potter books are fatter than holy hell, and even though the last one wasn't as big as for example the fifth, it still contained lots of information and details in the storyline, and trying to squeeze that in to two movies would be impossible. They managed to put a lot of the story into part 2, and I think they did it well. Even though for example Snapes memory scene was shorter than I had hoped, it still gave you the right feel. And of course the big battle could have been shown a little more, you know just a few minutes of footage of people killin' each other and stuff blowing up. That would have been nice. Fred's death was also a little to "small" They should have made a bigger deal out of it. But considering all the good qualities of the film (especially CGI and the way they played out a lot of key moments, like the thing where Harry almost dies and goes to the train station thing, I loved that) it hardly even matters to me that they did some stuff differently. And yeah, the final fight scene between Harry and Voldemort, so what if they weren't in the middle of a crowd, seriously, who gives a crap? Loved that they included the "19 years later scene". Too bad that they didn't make more out of it, but once again: Who gives a crap? Overall, Great movie, a totally fine ending to the Harry Potter series.
