Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Ten years after the first Harry Potter adventure, the 8th final and shortest, installment of J.K. Rowling's immensely popular seven volume literary masterpiece comes to a close.

Before the last confrontation between Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his arch-nemesis Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) takes place, Harry Potter, along with Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), must find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, items in which the Dark Lord has embedded pieces of his soul in his quest for immortality. However, the destruction of each Horcrux makes the amphibious faced, Lord Voldemort, even more dangerous. The stakes are higher and no one, not even Harry, is safe.

In what may be his best film to date, returning helmer, David Yates, perfectly blends the thrilling feature with an emotional underpinning. Surprising revelations and complexities are uncovered such as Professor Severus Snape's (Alan Rickman) hostile nature towards Harry.

One of the many extraordinary scenes involves a magical bank heist featuring great 3D special effects and prosthetic makeup, taking up to four hours to apply on each of the dozens banker goblins.

The epic finale, augmented by impeccable acting in addition to well merged practical and visual designs, captures the imagination, delivering a satisfying, climactic conclusion.
