Movie #482 "Harry Potter& the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" was a very effective ending to a super effective franchise, in my opinion. I have enjoyed the myriad of quirky characters Harry has encountered, not to mention him and his steadfast friends, Hermione and Ron. I have thought each of these books, that I have read, were wonderful reads, and that no one could possibly put them on the screen, and then I would leave the theatre after seeing the movies in superb amazement that the job was accomplished. I have been frustrated that none of these movies have really gotten the recognition they deserve from the Academy of Arts and Sciences, and maybe since this is the last one, they might take a second look. It isn't the best one, in my opinion, because to me that would be the "Prisoner of Azkaban" followed by the ""Order of the Phoenix" and the first two, and then the last ones. Anyway, there were parts better than others within the movie itself ---- I esp. liked the final confrontation between Harry and the evil force, which I don't usually like in action films, but it was quite entertaining and tense in this one. However, I wish we would have seen Ginny more, wish the twins' tragedy would have been made more of, wish we understood why it was 19 years to get to the last scene, wish there were more of the long line of professors that showed up in this last part, and more Hagrid. But there was so much to like that the film was still very fun and satisfying to watch and appreciate. I recommend it. And esp. Anyone who thinks that their kids shouldn't read these books or see the movies, might want to see this because the themes are quite strong, and it does the franchise proud! We'll miss you, Harry Potter! Our modern day Yoknapatawpha County!
I rates this 4 stars
