Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:Part 2 is the epic conclusion to the movie series,and the final piece of the Harry Potter lore.It was a great and heart touching send off,with many tears shed.
The movie clocks in at 2 hours and 10 minutes,but I really wanted it to be much longer than that.For a final movie that says good bye to the characters,a lot was cut out from the book,and many deaths of important characters( not spoiling who ) were not,how do I say,good enough.You'll see.
Reading the book,I almost cried because the preparation for the epic battle was awesome,and the battle itself ( in the book ) was explosive,full of action,and full of tears,laughter,and danger.
In the movie however,the battles take place in the background,while the Harry and the crew go and hunt onward.This scaled the epicness back for me,and had me wanting more.The book explained much more in detail,and I hadn't read the book,I would have been lost.My friend hadn't,and all he did was ask questions after the film was over.
The movie was a good time,a sad time,and a good enough send off to this series of wizards and witches.I just wish it had more substance,more to give the series an epic final goodbye,like the Lord of the Rings series did.I'll take it for what it is,and this film will be remembered for a long time.
