The famous cast returns for this epic conclusion to the first Harry Potter. Okay, first off-if your a book buff then you'll probably get really pissed off. This film is an instant continuation of Part 1, and sadly that means the entire first part was the build up. This entire film is Gringott's and the final battle that takes place within the Hogwart's castle-Voldemort is slightly obsessed with his old school. Surprisingly having cut out a lot of subtleties of the story, its run time was 130 minutes. However, the acting was great especially Alan Rickman's performance. He truly went above in this tale to present Severus' story with heart. Daniel also did a great performance. However, the ending was great cinematically but it could've been done a little better. Bellatrix's battle could've had some extra detail, and the final battle with Voldermort didn't convey what happened easily. It looked like Harry overpowered him and stole the wand, but the wand actually betrayed Voldermort by abandoning him. It was kind of rushed and probably would've benefited from keeping the films length (like the other films)-it's a really though call though. The effects were great for the wizarding battle though. The editing really pulled out the comical humor in some parts (particularly with Neville's epic battle moment). I enjoyed the film in general because of it's story, and coupled with part one it's truly awesome. I am left with only two questions for the plot: What happened to the third item of the Deathly Hollows? When was Hagrid captured by the enemy?
I give this film an 9 out of 10 stars. This film is all in all a great film to watch. You just have to separate it from the books. The plot holes make it odd in story, but the acting pulls the drama and slight humor into the spotlight.
Okay, as part of my blogs I add in questions for fun movie trivia. I will once again add a question, answers can be placed in the comments sections. Good Luck!
Answers to last blog questions: Janet Leigh & The Shape
New Question: What are the three items that make up the Deathly Hallows?
A wand, a cloak, and a book
A book, a snake, and a stone
A stone, a cloak, and a wand
A wand, a snake, and a diadem
P.S. I'll go back and review the previous Harry Potter films to fully end one of the films that began the epic film era. However, Twilight's ending films are coming out: that means bracing myself for sex, babies, and vampire eyes!
