Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
WARNING!!!! Spoiler Alert!!!
I would like to say right off the bat that...WOW!!! I mean...WOW!!! It has been a long time since I've watched a movie that packed that much of a punch. I gave a great review for Part 1 but this was totally the best one of the series.
I took my twelve year old daughter with me to see it and I asked her as we were leaving the theater how she would rate it on a five star scale. She said five and a half. I totally agree. Five for following the story so closely and graphic art. Half for good measure as Hermione would say. The effects in this film were awesome to watch and the sound was incredible the way the speakers reverberated Voldemort's voice. Daniel Radcliffe brought it in this film by being able to feel Harry's pain. It made it all so real. I held it together even though someone two rows over was blubbering like an idiot when Harry finally realizes his fate. There were plenty of sniffles and a few coughs from the guys.
I did notice several differences that were changed like the lost diadem was in a box not on the head of a statue and they mentioned Ariana one time but never told the story of what happened to her. To me that was a key point. I also noticed the cups were not hot like they were supposed to be in the Belatrix's vault. That kind of took away just a little but only briefly as Harry, Ron, and Hermione quickly pulled you back in. What I did like that they changed was the battle scene inside Hogwarts. That completely blew me away. It seemed to be more than what I envisioned from the book and that made me happy. I have to say that there are a lot of sad Potter fans tonight I am sure, as the end of an era has finally happened but, those of us who read the books cried our tears over the end of the era back when it was first published. Seeing it all put together on screen actually felt more of an accomplishment than an ending.
I will say the best quote from the movie was directly out of the book. It came from Molly Weasly and it earned applause, whistles, and I even heard someone say, "hell yea!" It was: "Not my daughter, you bitch!" As a mother of five daughters, I could not have agreed with her more.
With everything I expected and then some, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be a family favorite for years to come.
