The End of the Seventh Movie

I was just wondering...what does everyone think about when Harry killed Voldemort at the end of the Deathly Hallows part 2. I think It was great, even though it was very anticlimactic. In the book, everyone from Hogwarts was watching. In the movie, it was like a private thing between Harry and Voldemort, and then Harry went back in the Great Hall and everyone just looked at him. This seems weird to me...



I think that it was awesome but incredibly unrealistic. I mean who dies by being hit and having pieces of himself peel off. I mean seriously?? But it was really cool. I also think it was stupid that nobody was celebrating. Sure a lot of people died but i mean COME ON! Voldemort is DEAD shouldn't you be celebrating?


Yeah, I was expecting the movie to mimic what happened at the end of the book: harry tells Vold that the elder wand does not belong to him, etc etc, and then harry gets the wand and Vold is humiliated after he A: looses the wand and B: harry bitched him out. I was disappointed that they didn't show this to the rest of the people in the courtyard.


The movie was okay, and it was better than the book. But Deathly Hallows was one of my least favorite movies.


for what its worth, i think they have made the last book as a series, not a rushed, pasted 2 part movie. I wanted Chris Columbus to do that film because he did brilliantly at the first two books, it was insanely good. And at the very end part, I wished they've just ended it with real mature characters, not a bearded Rupert and Danielle, or Emma Watson and Ginny wearing mature clothes it really look silly

deleted user YES!! i totally agree, i think they should have got actors who looked like them. Instead they looked like children wearing their parents clothes, espe ...more

I definitely didn't like the end of Voldemort in the movie, if that is what you meant. It was pretty stupid. I think they should have done it like the book.


One of the most important things that happens in the book is that Harry offers Voldemort one last chance to come over to the good side and redeem himself. That never comes across in the movie, which is disappointing. The other thing from the book that doesn't really come across very clearly in the movie is that Voldemort is really killed by his own rebounding curse, not by Harry.


I think it's a toss up between the book and the movie. If we didn't read the book, we'd like the movie and because we've read the book and loved it we don't really like the movie.
I guess they thought by making the ending the way it did, it made it more personal for Harry and more final sort of thing. But I'm not really surprised they changed that bit because we've seen them change pivotal moments a little before in the earlier books.

deleted user I mostly liked movie (except the 19 years later…but then I didn’t really like that in the book either) i think you just have to look at films of books ...more
