Very good, for the most part

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2013)

I will start off by saying that I was very impressed with this movie and how it was chosen to end the Harry Potter series. While some will say that Deathly Hallows into to movies was simply for profit, I do agree with the decision, because I believe that the events in Part 1 allow Part 2 to move as quickly as it does. It is impressive to think that all previous Harry Potter movies take place over the course of a year, while Part 2 takes place all within a day or so. Putting Hedwig's Theme at the epilogue was a very good move that should please most fans of the series. The visual effects seemed pleasing, but at times it seemed that they may have been overdone. Once again, Priori Incantatem is not supposed to take place in this movie, yet it happens all the time, making me think that it was added just for a visual effect. The deaths of Bellatrix and Voldemort were also unnecessary and more climactic than the book described. But all of that aside, I do think this movie was made with the intention of making any Potter fan cry, because people next to me were in tears by the time the title cards came through. Snape's memories were very well done, even though there was much left out, it still got the point across in my opinion. Overall, I think this was very well done, and I am perfectly fine with this adaptation of the end of the series.
