Exhilarating & Spellbinding- right to the very end

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2011)

I consider myself a 'die-hard' Harry Potter fan but don't let that make you think that by saying this film was absolutely fantastic, make me biased.
I went into Deathly Hallows Part 1 with very high expectations but was slightly disappointed with the turnout. Going into Part 2 I had the same expectations however, wasn't disappointed one bit.
Everything went together perfectly; the amount of magic and action fitted in perfectly with dazzling camera work and just the right amount of humour.
Full credit goes to all the actors and actresses for putting on brilliant performances. I was slightly worried that Daniel Radcliffe wouldn't live up to the huge role he had to play but once again I was shown otherwise with a fantastic performance on his behalf. Performances from Rupert Grint and Emma Watson added to the overall brilliance of the film.
Though, particular attention must go out to Alan Rickman (who plays Professor Snape). Until now I've seen his role as entertaining and slightly humerus but in this film we see a deeper and much more emotional side the character.
David Yates has done an incredible job of capturing the raw emotion that shapes our beloved characters and at the same time maintain a high level of heart- stopping magical action. The one slight disappointment was the fact that the film went too fast and a few details were left out.
The film was a fantastic closure of the epic saga and will be long remembered.
