Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - David Yates - 2011



Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a polar opposite to the first film in terms of pacing. It is a high energy film from the get go and never really drops in pace.

With that being said the film has as much heart as the previous Potter films. It is a sad action film with a high body count on both sides of the fight for good and evil.

The film is mostly made up of the final battle but is structured in a way where the plot take preeminence and the characters are able to develop in the middle of all hell breaking loose.

The sequences that I really loved about the film was the calm before the storm moments where the characters are all trying to prepare themselves for the eventual death and destruction that is sure to come. The fact that the characters are children that we have seen grow makes these moments far more profound.

Like Dobby in Part 1, Neville is a big surprise in the film and becomes a total badass by the end of the film.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a rush and is a perfect way to end the series. It manages to be both fun and depressing and is a film (and a series) that should not be missed.
