After eight films in 10 years and a cumulative global box- office take of more than $6.3 billion, the most successful franchise in movie history comes to an obligatory – and climactic, fulfilling conclusion in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. To say the least, this is a massively eventful finale will take fans on a ride of pure adrenaline.
It has been an extraordinary journey – an adventure for the producers, the performers, and the audience as the once young, naïve, and, in all honesty, mediocre actors Daniel Radcliffe,Rupert Grint,and Emma Watson have become remarkable thespians. Their emotions are palpable as they take viewers on one last, heart-stopping, breathtaking journey into the magical world of Harry Potter.
With the knowledge that the end is near – in a number of ways – the production team holds nothing back. The eventual sight of the once mystical and ethereal Hogwarts in absolute ruin is striking. Although the cinematography was excellent throughout the series, with the most recent installment it is taken to a new level as the audience members find themselves overwhelmed by the reality of the wizard world. Furthermore, the makeup is at its best – especially when it comes to the goblins and Lord Voldemort, (one instance in particular is truly astonishing). Alexandre Desplat creates what may very well be the best soundtrack of the series, subtly incorporating echoes of John Williams' original themes while richly boosting the electrifying, intense dramatic scenes with brilliant compositions.
The only disappointment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is the harrowing knowledge that this film represents the end of one of the greatest film series' of all time .
