Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 130m
Director: David Yates
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, John Hurt, Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon
Synopsis:
Harry, Hermione and Ron's search for the remaining horcruxes takes them back to Hogwarts to find a hidden diadem and confront the encroaching forces of Lord Voldemort.
Review:
The final pieces of Rowling's intricate patchwork of mythological archetypes fall balefully into place as Harry makes a grim discovery about his destiny in this exciting, pacier closing chapter. That it might have been better not to separate the last two films, for reasons of continuity rather than commerce, cannot be in doubt, but if it must stand alone this film certainly garners to itself its fair share of pity and dread, making it the most satisfying of the cycle. There can be little better climax than a face-to-face amid the ruins of Hogwarts, and the effects department excels itself with images reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings.
