A Stunning Finale, Does not Disappoint,

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2011)

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is a fantastic film with a really well developed storyline and a stunning cast. Fans will not be disappointed, it closes out the franchise perfectly, all the loose ends are tied up, it is clear J.K. Rowling wrote the perfect ending in her book that had all fans very pleased, and David Yates brings it to life perfectly, making it the darkest, most intense of the series. The only issue I felt it had is that some characters are pushed to the side, ones that were significant in previous movies, whose character arch is unfulfilling, such as Minerva, Horace, Sybil and, in particular, Hagrid, one of Harry's closest friends whose screen time was very limited, I understand that they had a lot to go through, but it left me disappointed. I have said before that the cast were always maturing and growing as this series continues, and this is no exception, their performances here are very effective, the young cast members are pure professionals now, living and breathing the lives of their respective roles. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint all shine, as does the ever terrifying Ralph Fiennes, the thrilling Alan Rickman and the charming Michael Gambon, the amount of iconic, unforgetful performances here are spectacular. An action packed, intense and well acted finale, I would recommend Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 to anyone looking for a good adventure or fantasy film.
Harry, Ron and Hermione continue their quest for all three of the Horcroxes, as Hogwarts is in huge danger under Voldermort's attack, it's all up to Harry to save the day, with one last battle.
Best Performance: Daniel Radcliffe
