Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 left me speechless because of how amazing it was. I have been (and always will be) a huge fan of Harry Potter since the books first came out and I have grown up with Harry Potter - it was my childhood.
Deathly Hallows Part 2 takes off right where Part 1 finished and continues with Harry, Ron and Hermione hunting the remaining Horcruxes to destroy Voldemort. The movie is action packed, thrilling, emotional, breathtaking and very sad in parts with an ultimate showdown between good and evil.
If you have read the books (like me), you will be happy to know that the major key moments are in the movie, however there is a fair bit missing here and there, but you don't notice it much and it doesn't really matter because the movie is absolutely fantastic - David Yates has done another fantastic job!
The actors once again were outstanding. They all played their roles perfectly, and one particular actor that stood out was Alan Rickman who plays Professor Snape. He played his role brilliantly and The Prince's Tale will leave you with tears streaming down your face. For me, this is one of the best scenes in the movie even though its very sad. It is played out incredibly well. Maggie Smith who plays Professor McGonagall, was also fantastic. She really stood up a fair bit by standing up for Harry and protecting the school boundaries etc.
This has to be the movie of the year. The music was powerful and worked brilliantly throughout the movie, all the actors played their roles beautifully, the battle is definitely epic and words fail me to describe how great this movie is. It's really amazing. A magnificent ending to the fantastic Harry Potter series.
I really am struggling to come to terms that Harry Potter has ended, it hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I find happiness in knowing that I grew up with the best series ever and Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart.
