HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2
5 out of 5 stars

EXCELLENT!!! or as the brits say...BRILLIANT!!! i was deathly bored with harry potter: part 1, but part 2 brings it all home and more! what a bittersweet ending. :)

RECAP: harry potter and his friends, hermione and ron, tend to their wounds and re-evaluadte their game plan to bring down the one and evil voldemort by destroying all the horcruxes. if you don’t remember from part 1, read my review on HP7: part 1. but in case you don’t have the time... harry learns that the horcruxes contain a piece of voldemort’s soul, and by destroying all of them, one destroys voldemort. so, harry and his friends question a goblin who works at gringotts wizarding bank who was being questioned by bellatrix from the first movie, and gets him to take them inside bellatrix lestrange’s vault in exchange for griffindor’s sword. (greedy-ass goblin...) all is semi-going well until the goblin betrays them and locks them in the vault, so harry and his friends have to escape via a fire-breathing dragon who was guarding the vault! they then realize that another horcrux AKA rowena ravenclaw’s diadem (in case you didn’t know- it’s sort of a tiara) is INSIDE hogwart’s castle. they are helped by dumbledore’s brother abeforth, and neville longbottom and co. help harry get back into hogwart’s to complete their mission. pretty soon, hogwarts is attacked by trolls, giant spiders, death eaters, and even lord voldemort himself...who now possesses the elder wand, the most powerful wand in the world. does harry have a chance now? well, you’ll see... ;)

like i said, i was deathly bored with harry potter part 1, but this was by far THE BEST HARRY POTTER MOVIE....HANDS DOWN. it’s clearly a continuation of the first part, and it brings everything home, even the epilogue. it’s bittersweet and packed with magical battles and the final showdown between harry and voldemort is very appropriately shown. at the end of the day, good always triumphs over evil, although in this case, a lot of sacrifices had to be made. (i.e. death of harry’s parents, sirius black, remus, dumbledore) we also know snape’s true intentions, and i think that’s what makes j.k. rowling such an amazing author. great storytelling translated into a great movie! BRAVO, HP7: part 2. the whole series will surely be missed. :’)
