Harry Potter and The Dealthy Hallows Part Two Review


The time has sadly arrived ladies and gents, muggles and halfbloods, house-elves and goblins, to say our goodbye to the wonderful world of Harry Potter. That's right, Harry, Ron, Hermione and everyone else who gave our lives meaning with their magical presence have cast their final spell. And what an emotional, action-packed, all-out epic spell it was!

Harry's conclusive chapter begins where it left off. Voldemort is now in possession of the Elder Wand (basically the most powerful pimpstick of all) and Harry has just buried our beloved house elf Dobby. He was a free bitch baby.

What follows is Harry, Ron and Hermione's fulfilment of Dumbeldore's mission to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes in the hope they can finally bring an end to the Dark Lord's life. This naturally includes breaking in to Gringotts (Alton Towers meets HSBC), flying on a dragon's back, breaking into Hogwarts where we are re-united with both Dumbledore's Army and humour. From this point on the magical shit literally hits the magical fan as all out magical warfare errupts between the forces of both Voldemort and Harry in the Battle for Hogwarts.

Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows Part Two is as a result an emotional roller coaster from start to finish, something director David Yates has finally been forgiven for in regards to the often argued pointless Part One. All is forgotten now David since I pretty much had to contain myself on seven occasions to stop uncontrollable tears streaming down my face.

The Guardian wrote "sensational, satisfying, surreal...an explosive final chapter." whilst the Daily Telegraph praised Yates for his ability to take Rowling's writing a step further. "Yates here transmutes it into a genuinely terrifying spectacle...Hogwarts itself comes to life....This is monumental cinema."

So, in a nutshell, after 14 years, 7 books and 8 films it is time to ride our Nimbus 3000 into the sunset. Thank God for dvds!

Deathly Hallows Part 2 is out in cinemas worldwide now and stars Daniel Radcliffe alongside Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Ralph Fienes and Michael Gambon as Dumbledore.

Take a look at the equally epic trailer below. Excuse me whilst I got breakdown once more.

P.S. Notable mentions must go to that of Professor McGonagall (who knew she was that kick ass?!?!), Molly Weasley who had the best line ever and took care of a certain devious witch who has had it coming, and of course Neville Longbottom who proved he is just the man really.
