Review:

This year the moment fans had eagerly waited for (and secretly prayed would never happen) over the past ten years finally came upon them – the final Harry Potter film. And thankfully for everyone, it’s one of the best.

In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. It is time to pick sides; Harry stands as the de-facto leader on the side of all that is good, whilst He-Who-Shall-Not-Named heads the charge in the name of the dark arts. In this final instalment we see many familiar faces yet again, from the famous trio of heroes to an array of recognisable and much-loved side characters such as Hagrid, Prof McGonangall, Draco, Neville and many more.

The much anticipated final film in the series does not disappoint. The film delivers precisely what viewers will be looking for: fantastical battles, gripping suspense, shattering revelations, and, most importantly, a fitting and emotionally satisfying conclusion that is entirely in keeping with Rowling's novel. Those diehard fans who have wanted the films to be a good representation of the books will be greatly relieved as, although some large subplots have been removed or altered, the important parts have remained untouched; many lines have been lifted straight from the pages of book, including ‘that line’ by a certain Mrs Weasley.

Brimming with the high standard of sparkle and special effects that fans have come to expect, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is thankfully nowhere near as long-winded as its title and is the shining light at the end of the phenomenally successful series’ tunnel.
