Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

so that's it, the end. of course, the final book was released in 2007 so for anyone else who read that, we all knew what was going to happen, so i guess it wasn't as big of a climax as it could be, but nevertheless i was pretty anxious to see how Warner Bros. had decided it would all end - you know how film companies can be, changing everything around to make it fit a bit better. but no, this time they stuck pretty closely with the book; from what i can remember anyway. 

But anyway, i think this one was the best by far, not only out of all the other Harry Potter films, but also out of all the others i've seen this year. partly because it was the last one; the one where everything kicks off and it's just fight scene followed by fight scene followed by emotional scene, then another fight scene. also because all the characters are now old enough to find reasonably attractive, which always helps.

I went to see it on the opening night, at 12-30am with all the super-fans that had dressed up in school uniforms - which by the way, i thought was ridiculous, not because there's something terrible about dressing up but because the main characters weren't even in school any more. but of course being there with everyone made this certain atmosphere that was actually a lot of fun; people would cheer when the lights went down and cry when people died. although i was not one of the crying people, there were some terribly sad bits in it; and i'm saying sadder than when Dobbie died in the previous film. the only negative thing i have to say, if anything really was that the 3D didn't really seem necessary. i mean, it didn't really ruin it or anything, i just dislike 3D at the best of times, but i think that Harry Potter would have been amazing without it, but nevertheless even with 3D i still thoroughly enjoyed it. 

I'm not going to really say more than that, because i don't want to give anything away for people who haven't seen it, but it was completely brilliant, and really well done. i'm so glad i went to see it on the opening night, and it was actually a really good film, i wont be surprised if it tops Avatar's opening weekend box office intake. to be honest, even if you've never even seen Harry Potter before, you've never even read the books - go and see this film anyway because you'll be blown away. i'm sad to see this series come to an end.

of course, this is all just my opinion.. feel free to disagree...ܤ
