![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And it does so while delivering propulsive action, glancing back so that we get to reminisce just a bit, and tying together an impressive number of not-so-loose ends.Īnd although it's best viewed as the second half of a long film, it moves - and compels us - sufficiently to seem to justify the decision to split the movieization of Rowling's final book into two movies, which some detractors in the critical community (ahem) questioned, even though they (ahem) admired Part 1. HP VIII holds up in its expert delivery of the final battle, the showdown between good and evil that the series has been leading up to and that we have been keenly awaiting for a decade and through eight movies. Let the record show that the majestic final cinematic chapter goes in the books, despite carrying an intimidating level of lofty expectations, as a laudable successor to its "Harry Potter and the" predecessors - Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Chamber of Secrets (2002), Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Goblet of Fire (2005), Order of the Phoenix (2007), Half-Blood Prince (2009), and Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010). It's the movie version of the second half of the seventh and last book, and the conclusion of the highest-grossing international franchise in movie history. Ten years and seven movies later, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the imaginative, energetic, and climactic final installment in the admirably realized and fantastically successful series of movie adaptations of JK Rowling's epic, seven-novel fantasy about a boy wizard, finally (or is it too quickly?) arrives. So here we are at the end of the road, our Potter training behind us, as it were.
