The Best of the Series!

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2013)

HPDH was the best of the Harry Potter series, IMHO. Believe me, this film has it all. Action, comedy, suspense, drama, emotional connectivity, amazing performances.
Understandably this was the shortest of all the Potter flicks- the previous movie covered 75% of the book, and so this film covers 25%... Which is a good thing because it shows Yates put effort into making this movie a big, grand finale. The movie moves at a fast pace, and boy, is that a good thing. One would worry that it would come off as rushed, but believe me, Yates did a hell of a job here. Sure some things were left out and/or changed, but obviously for pacing purposes. I am aware of the changes, but honestly, as a fan of the book, I'm glad they were made.
The acting is what helps make this movie amazing. You could tell the actors were in a "alright, it's the last movie, let's live it up more than we can" mood. Everyone hams it up beautifully. The full power of the actors' performances is used. In my opinion, Matthew Lewis was the highlight of the movie! He always was the highlight of the other films, and this movie is no exception. He manages to ham it up as Neville Longbottom, and here he is in full bad-ass mode.
Really, I am still speechless as to how awesome this movie was. I mean, I knew it was going to be one emotional experience, and thank god it turned out to be that. As the movie's ending credits began rolling, I got incredibly emotional. I did not want to say goodbye to the phenomenon that helped shape my childhood. And you could feel that emotion running through the cinema, when John Williams' score rang through the speakers.
In short, Deathly Hallows 2 was phenomenal, the best of the series, and I plan to see it again someday soon!
