A perfect finish to a perfect series

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2011)

I don't usually review Harry Potter titles although I'm one of the biggest fans. I went for the final installment first day first show (couldn't wait any longer like I did for the others) and I wasn't disappointed at all (I never have with this franchise).
The movies have gained as much of a following as the books itself, but this one takes the cake. I'm assuming that the Director, story-writers etc all worked under a lot of pressure as they had to live up to the expectations of millions of fans worldwide, and they did a hell of a job of it. The visuals are excellent, and since this movie only captures the second part of the book, there wasn't any need to gain momentum as the story progresses; the movie had us enthralled from the very beginning.
I'm thoroughly saddened that this is probably the last Harry potter movie that came out (fingers crossed). It's like there's nothing more to look forward to. Yet, J.K. Rowling and everyone have enchanted us beyond our dreams all these years, so I bid adieu to you, Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Excellent. 10 on 10.
