Messed up the end scene, still pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2011)

I absolutely love the Harry Potter books. I think Deathly Hallows part 1 was best in a sense that it stayed true to the book. Part 2 takes from where we left off.
The Good : Very well made scenes of Gringotts,Battle of Hogwarts,Snape's memories,King's cross.(Although King's cross could have had more details). The movie captures the tense mood in the book with some comic relief scenes jabbed in. Very good acting by all cast. Alan Rickman is perfect Snape book readers could have asked for. Movie keeps you on edge even though you know what is going to happen.
The Bad: 1. Lack of use invisibility cloak. I mean COME ON ! That is so important part of the book !
2.No Shrieking Shack,the final battle does not happen in Great Hall.No back story of Dumbledore, just one liner hints by Aberforth. No scene of Ravenclaw Common Room !
3.Movie really rushes through the confrontation of Harry telling Tom Riddle who is true owner of the wand and after everything is over Harry explains it to Ron and Hermione. Then Harry SNAPS the Elder Wand and throws it away. What the hell? I really don't understand point of changing these things from the book. WHY? WHY?
4.Movie does not establish the fact that Harry becomes Master of death. So non-readers will feel Harry defeated Voldemort only because of Wand.
5.Unintentional funny scenes. The scene where Voldemort declares Harry is dead and laughs is pathetic. Everybody was laughing.Gambon I think is worst Dumbledore, with his ridiculous dialogue delivery, he spoils the "Of course it is in your head Harry ..." line. That line is epic and people laugh because it sounds like Dumbledore is making a joke.
8/10 only because whatever they did right,they did it very well.I am being generous since it is last movie. Thank you J.K.Rowling for this series and as JK said "Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home"
