A swift and a splendid swan song.

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2011)

Harry potter and the Deathly hallows Part 2 starts off the very next second the part 1 ended. Yet somehow, everything looks a tone murkier and creepy , maybe it was the haunting music or maybe it was the 3D. But to make one thing clear the 3D here is done just right. Its not distracting but its not even Avartarisque.
The trio continue their journey to find the Horcruxes while the once safe heaven-Hogwarts is eventually under attack by Voldemort. The entire 2 hours runs really fast, filled with splendid action sequences and plot twists all ending in a fitting climax.
Radcliff , Watson and Grint give earnest performances.Most supporting characters from the previous seven films return, at least for a cameo. Its is no doubt that amongst them it its Alan Rickman as Severus Snape who stands out with his best performance till date. A flash back sequence involving him is one of the finest moments in the film that the audience will remember for a long time.
The only thing the movie allows us to complain about is the 'pace'. Its moves at such fast pace that you cannot help feeling that the ending seemed a tad rushed. There is not enough time to feel sad about certain deaths nor will you find time to cheer as a death eater falls. But probably its the price to pay for 3D. Too long and it might have taxed your eyes too much, to take the attention away from the plot. So the fault could easily be forgotten.
In conclusion, Many potter fans felt the third film was the best of the lot, but Deathly hallows part 2 easily dethrones it. Director Yates must be commended for not getting tired of the series and giving it a respectable, memorable and most of the all the most enjoyable swan song.
