The final instalment, Deathly Hallows Part 2, is a bravura duel between good and evil. It’s also a cathartic, occasionally clunky nostalgiafest.

TOP CRITIC
For 10 years and eight films we’ve gotten to watch these young actors grow as people, as performers and as characters. It has been a true coming-of-age saga, in the fullest and most moving sense of the term.

The grand finish, if not always inspired, feels necessary. In a sustained, imaginative way, this is the best of any movie series.

TOP CRITIC
The film is strong enough to have the unusual effect of improving its predecessors in the memory simply by association.

TOP CRITIC
Fiennes and Rickman get the actorly moments they’ve been building toward for so long, and the film is most fun when it sticks to mechanics: roller coaster rides, battle scenes, close calls.

One of the great things about this second Deathly Hallows is that it plays exceedingly well as either a stand-alone epic or a continuation of the previous chapter.

The new locations are vast and mind-boggling, the sets beautifully decorated and detailed, and the creatures more impressively monstrous.

An epic showdown in gorgeous 3D, packing an emotional punch, this cast and crew should take their final bow with pride before their devoted fans.

[The film] ends the series so beautifully, and shows such reverence for the books that inspired and affected them so deeply.

Plot
This is the tale of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), an ordinary eleven-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the groundskeeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.
