Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: The Final Closure


It finally arrives.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 the movie.

Personally, I wasn't to anxious to see the movie. All Harry Potter movies were never live up to readers' expectation. Script wise.

That Friday night, just after work, a friend and I gave a shot getting the tix. Since its' premiere, the tix were almost impossible to get on-spot. Fortunately, we got the right timing, good seats.

8.15 PM. Movie began.
It started off with Voldemort acquiring Elder wand, and go crazy toying with it.
Dobby's final closure was also shown at the beginning movie. Continuing where we left of since Deathly Hallows part 1.

The beginning movie has shown that evil has risen and deaths will be inevitable.

I was like... this is it. The final closure. The ending of Harry Potter, once and for all.
When the book 7 was released, the story end there. Harry Potter, does not end there yet.
The movie is still anxiously waited by millions of aficionados.

I wouldn't tell the story here, just because I've been mucked around by emotional roller coaster years ago here.

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger are Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.
We all watched them grew. Just as we felt Harry, Ron and Hermione grew.
We saw them as these 11 years old kids, who were innocent, cheeky, full of adventure. Now, we see them as 20-something adult, maturing in their own ways.

Back to fiction..
JK Rowling has written a very elaborate, very detail story towards each character within each scene. The movie script, failed to deliver just that. I understood that it is impossible to include every character written in the book into the movie. The movie is about Harry Potter, so it stick to him. Focuses on Harry's journey to find horcruxes and eventually kill Voldemort.

The epic climax of the book should be on Battle of Hogwarts.
The movie, failed enormously to deliver. I couldn't feel the suspense, the bravery, the devastating battle. It failed to muck my emotion much further. This should be the epic battle. The most emotional draining scene on this installment. It failed to deliver, just that.

It failed to show Fred.

It does however show Snape. The most heartbreaking scene.
Snape's fatherly love towards Harry, just because he loves Lily too much.
I couldn't imagine this scene when reading the book. On movie, it successfully brought tears to my eyes (seriously). My heart jumped when this scene took place.
This scene is, by far, outshines every other scenes he's made. Alan Rickman, you're gold!

This last installment of Harry Potter movie, is by far has the best execution. In terms of cinematography. Script wise, it succeeds to focus on Harry Potter. It should stands on a center point, that is Harry. This how we connect to the character and no other character can steal his thunder, not even Fred.

I wouldn't say the movie rates a 10, but 8 is good enough for a final closure.
This is the end.

Harry, Ron and Hermione have found peace in their world.
Daniel, Rupert and Emma move on to their new characters beyond Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

The end of every ending.
Bye Harry, Ron, Hermione.
