The expected end.

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2015)

This film is the adaptation of the second half of the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter's saga, written by J.K. Rowling and directed by David Yates. This film is the end of a franchise that lasted more than seven years and earned billions. Yates excellently fulfilled its role but seems to have been a bit dazzled by the special effects. Certainly they have done a great service to the film, but it seems that, in the midst of so many effects and phenomenal camera angles, the script was a bit put away, eventually detaches from reporting the original book. One of the most surprising and unfortunate facts of this film is the radical change in the appearance of some parts of the castle, as its main entrance (which originally wasn't near the Great Hall) and the appearance of the stairs. Throughout the saga and all the books, the castle stairs had the same appearance and the ability to change position, which sometimes took the students to places where they wouldn't (or couldn't) go but, in this film, those so-known stairs gave way to some others, completely different, wider and imposing but that have nothing to do with descriptions of the castle in the books.
Despite these negative details, the film is excellent. It's a real thriller in certain passages and has the gift of having the entire cast to give their maximum and achieving levels of interpretative excellence, giving to their characters an enormous depth, a human size, often fallible and imperfect. The final, moreover, it's surprising and absolutely breathtaking, as were also the last chapters of the book.
