My Film: 'Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows; Part 2' 17-7-11

WARNING! Spoilers!!!

The final instalment in a series that has been ten years running Deathly Hallows part two brings about the conclusion to a story that many have held close. Harry Potter has been a part of my life for the last 12 years and I am personally saddened by its eventual end. My childhood is over!

With the dark lord's army at his heels Harry must destroy the remaining Horcruxes to defeat Voldemort and bring peace to their world. Though Deathly Hallows provides a fine conclusion to the films, the grandeur of its action packed climax seems to falls short as key moments are passed over in a truncated rush. Overall a well acted showcase of talent, Hallows will please Potter fans, yet find the 'uninitiated' confused and lost.

The main issue that I had with this film was that they emphasised the death of Dobby the house elf  so much in the first part of the film yet in the second part, the deaths of Lupin, Tonks and Fred Weasley (well loved characters) went practically unnoticed.

Still not my favourite Potter film but it was a fantastic ending to a set of films that has gripped the world. Harry Potter for ever! (And for all of you who want to know, The Goblet of Fire is my favourite!)

My Star Rating:
9.5/10*
