The Series Certainly Ends on a High Note

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
In the eighth and final film in the series, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) finally has to face down Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) as he learns secrets from the past that will have an impact on his life.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 closes out the series (for now) and turns out to be the best film in the series. It's clear that the previous seven films contained a lot of plot that would eventually lead up to this film, which is pretty much two hours worth of non-stop battles and chaos. As much as I enjoyed most of the series, there's no question that this film here took the action to a whole new level and it really delivered the goods and closes out the series in a grand way.
The greatest thing about this film are the terrific special effects, which have certainly came a long way since the first movie. I'm really not a strong fan of CGI but this series certainly shows the greatness that can be done with it because the effects here perfectly build up this fantasy world and some of the battles here are just beautiful to watch. Obviously I'm not going to spoil anything major but the closing thirty minutes contain some of the greatest battles that you're ever going to witness. The visuals and colors in the battle between Potter and Voldemort are wonderful to say the least.
Once again we're given some terrific performances from the entire cast, which was obviously to be expected by this point. There's no question that the casting directors made all the right selections when the series started and all of the casting paid off. We're also treated to a rousing music score as well as some terrific cinematography that just leaps off the screen.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 is the best of the series and a great way for it to end.
