Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
It all ends here. Part two of the climactic finale of the Harry Potter series (JK Rowling's last book, The Deathy Hallows, was split in two for the movies) brings the epic to a close, including the final showdown between Voldemort and Harry, and the destruction of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After destroying one Horcrux and discovering the significance of the three Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron and Hermione continue to seek the other Horcruxes in an attempt to destroy Lord Voldemort. However, now that the Dark Lord has obtained the yet unbeatable Elder Wand, he aims to complete his final stage to ultimate power and launches an attack on Hogwarts School, where the trio return for one last stand against the dark forces that threaten to take over the Wizarding and Muggle worlds.
Joining the cast this time is Ciarán Hinds as Aberforth Dumbledore, brother of Albus.

Reviews & comments
not impressed
wow is that what all the hype was about. I havnt read the books so was finding out about harry potter from the movies but what a big rush this movie was. I t was like tidying up a whole lot of loose ends very fast before the time ran out so wasnt; really much of a movie. I also find the character of voldemort not so great & a very wimpy & weak...
too rushed for my taste
I found this movie was too rushed & found it was trying to fit everything in before the time was up. I thought that when it had ended we had only been there for an hour it was so rushed. So we didn't enjoy it & could have left it but of course you're drawn to watch it because it's the end of a series. I also find voldemort in the movies a very weak...
I don't understand all the love for this film?
I loved Pt. 1 of the Deathly Hallows films. However this film, whilst displaying incredible cinematography, good CGI and adequate acting did not resonate as much as the first. The action sequence and 'large-scale' battles at Hogwarts felt cheap and light, as if the characters were made of paper. The battle abstained from a sense of weight that would help...
Harry Potter and some cinematic closure
So, 4 times Potter director David Yates ends the Epic saga that is the Harry Potter franchise in fine, action packed style; just as he began his Potter journey so many years ago. Rounding off with great aplomb he and his production team deliver an epic climax to a great series. Finally, some closure ;-) You could be forgiven for thinking that this HP7 Pt2...
It all ends here
This was a great ending to a great franchise I have not seen all of the films but I have seen close to all of them now. This was all about the final showdown between Harry played by Daniel Radcliffe and Voldermort played by Ralph Fiennes. Also Alan Rickman is great as Snape and of course Maggie Smith playing McGonnegal. Like the 3rd Lord of the Rings this...

Variety
pressWith its accelerated rhythm, relentless flow of incident and wizard-war endgame, Part 2 will strike many viewers as a much more exciting, involving picture than the slower, more atmospheric Part 1.

TVNZ
pressThis is the Harry Potter film I've been waiting for in many ways; perhaps, it was inevitable that it would be the final film which got it right, but as a closing chapter, it's near perfect and is the best send off it could ever have been given.

Total Film
pressFusing spectacle and emotion into a thrilling final chapter, director David Yates ensures that the series goes out with a bang. Finales don't come much grander than this.

The Guardian
pressThis is such an entertaining, beguiling, charming and exciting picture. It reminded me of the thrill I felt on seeing the very first one, 10 years ago.

Sunday Star-Times
pressWhat becomes of the broken-hearted? We've made it to the final Harry Potter film. There will be no more goblins to gawk at, no more shouts of "Bloody hell!" from Ron – no more Harry!? Yet rather than having an empty yearning feeling inside, I feel satisfied.

Hollywood Reporter
pressAn outstanding capper to the most lucrative film franchise of all time.

Empire Magazine
pressA worthy farewell that packs in as much action as its seven predecessors combined and manages not to stint on the emotional beats. Harry Potter leaves us as a quiet, bespectacled, corduroy-wearing hero for the ages.

pressWhatever you think of JK Rowling's wizard creation, there's no doubt her stories have helped shape Generation Hex - the children who have grown up captivated by each instalment of the adventures of her school-age wizards and witches.
