Harry Potter's Finale A Success

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2011)

Alas, we find ourselves at the conclusion of 10 years of wand-waving adventures. Was it a success or was it less than what fans expected. Here is a detailed analysis of the last Harry Potter movie.
Spoiler Alert!!! :
We were left hanging as Dobby, a great friend of Harry dies and Voldemort gains a newfound power. Harry continues his quest to find the horcruxes. One of the first things I notice is that the entire movie was just a couple of events stretched out. I'm not saying that is a bad things, but a lot of things were left out.
One of those events was when Harry snaps the Elder Wand. What about fixing his broken wand!!! Now he has no wand. In the books, he was able to fix his wand with the powerful Elder Wand.
Also, there should have been a more emphasis on Fred's death. The movie focused on just Harry and his 2 friends. Showing the students battling would have really put a more emotional twist by seeing all the deaths.
Another thing I noticed was that Goyle was gone. I mean, Zabini was never really appeared much, yet Malfoy had replaced him as a best friend.
However, the movie had a lot of good things about it. The plot was strong and the scene with Snape dying and Harry learning he must die was very appealing to the emotional sense. The action was great and there was humor, (some a little dark) throughout the movie.
By the way, I was really looking forward to the main battle. I wanted to see a crowd of people watching two battles of Bellatrix and Voldemort. Seeing each of them battle the 3 people would have been great.
But, when Molly Weasley curses Bellatrix, she does it with almost no emotion. And Voldemort only battled Harry and there was no one watching. There was no speech with Harry coolly calling Voldemort Tom and explaining the power of love. There was instead Voldemort beating Harry and Harry running and hiding.
End Spoiler!!!!
Even with two parts for the same book, there just was not enough time to fit in all these events. Still, the movie definitely did a good job of portraying the few events that actually transpired. I think the movie really deserve the 8.7 out of ten rating. I might have even given it a 9. But, as much of a fan I may be, I must taken into account any flaws for this to be a good review.
