Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2
The end has arrived and as everyone makes the journey into the cinema they are aware that this is the final goodbye to Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermonie (Emma Watson). This is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
With tissue packets stuffed into our pockets and some of the audience dressed up in full gryffindor uniform everyone is prepared for the immensity that is about to hit the screen. Explosive is the only word to describe this film, fast paced and action packed, there is no way your attention could waver even for a second.
With their wands at the ready, this film takes off exactly where the last one finished, Dobbys untimely death at the hands of Bellatrix Lastrange (Helena Bonham Carter), Voldermorts (Ralph Fiennes) most extreme follower. With their mission clearly laid out for them in Part 1, nothing has changed, the hunt for Horcrux’s still continues. However time is against them as it isn’t long until Voldermort realises what they are up to. With his search for the Elder wand over, he now believes himself to be the most powerful wizard about and wants nothing more than to find Harry and kill him.
With their journey taking so many unpredictable twists it isn’t long until they have no choice but to return to Hogwarts, a school they no longer recognise with Snape (Alan Rickman) as Headmaster. When they arrive they are greeted by old school mates who have carried on the DA (Dumbledores Army) and hide out in the Room of Requirement, as to avoid the torturing punishments of the Deatheaters and the Dementors that now surround the school.
Meeting up with a few school favourites from the other films the audience is happy to see professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith), Seamus Finnigan (Devon Murray), Cho Chang (Katie Leung) and professor Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) jump to Harry’s aid. But the most surprising of all characters is Nevill Longbottom (Matthew Lewis), he is no longer recognisable as the loveable but quiet and shy boy who lets himself get bullied. But has transformed into a strong leader who welcomes the fight for good to triumph over evil, he is the true hero of this film.
Both Harry and Voldermort know that this is it, this is the battle to end all battles and this is where one will have to die. This film is dark and the director David Yates has done his best to portray the book perfectly into the film, with the strong structure of the story and the all star cast you will struggle to catch your breath in the battle between life long enemies, Harry and Voldermort. The fate of the magical world is in Harry’s hands as this final battle will determine whether or not life can go back to normal for everyone or whether dark magic will rule and the muggle world be destroyed.
So for every follower of the films and for every devoted fan of the books now is time to gather support and cheer Harry on, because this is the last time you will gather in excitement at the cinema for a new Harry Potter film. Our friends will be greatly missed.
