David Yates Conjures A Magnificent End to A Renowned Book/Film Series

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2011)

Since 2001, I've watched every Harry Potter film ever made. Now here's something that can be difficult to put in proper words. I'm just... in complete shock and have to say that it's an astounding and compelling end to a famous franchise!
The top film critics were absolutely right about it all. The series started off as a lighthearted piece where we got to know the young cast, but as the movies progressed further into a darker tone (with "Prisoner of Azkaban" director Alfonso Cuaron starting it there), we see this cast growing up before our eyes, delivering such wonderful performances. It was certainly not overacting, director David Yates turned it all around with such finesse ever since he took control of 2007's "Order of the Phoenix."
The final duel of Harry Potter vs. Lord Voldemort has finally arrived and I was at the edge of my seat anxiously waiting to see the end result (I could literally hear some people gasping, slowly cheering, and even a small handful of them tearing up).
I've read the original book of "Deathly Hallows" and there were quite a few changes that occurred in the movie (though I won't say what those are). Point here is, it's very intricate to interpret this particular book into film, but at least this adaptation kept as closely as it can to the original. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson have permanently solidified their careers, thanks to the franchise that has shaped them as we see today!
With great robustness in the story both in triumph and tragedy, author JK Rowling certainly brought us to our knees begging to see more.
