Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 [DVD] [2011]

Love HP

Great watch and recommended. I can now watch this film anywhere

This action packed, emotional and enthralling finale is without a doubt the best of all the Harry Potter films and i consider it the second best movie that has ever been made.Right from the beginning the action explodes with an escape from Gringotts on the back of a huge and brilliantly done cgi dragon, the best cgi i have ever seen is in this film and it is completely flawless. Every detail has been carefully considered and the sets are astoundingly realistic and inspired, Grigotts vaults are vast and cavernous and the ride on the rail cart down to the LeStrange vault is thrilling and visually stunning. Once at the vault the action continues with one of the book and the films best ideas and set pieces, a room filled witwh items that when touched multiply (though they did leave out the part where the objects burn, which would have made the scene more tense and exciting) the escape on the dragon is amazingly done and the cgi blends flawlessly with the actors and environments.From the very beginning this film delivers big thrills and amazing performances, particularily Emma Watson who portrays Hermione with an ease that is so natural she was born to play Hermione and will always be Hermione.We are then taken to Hogwarts, a Hogwarts that is more like a prison and the students are prisoners, the atmosphere is haunting and Yates directs in an unyielding and powerful manner, giving the whole of the film the sense of dread and foreboding that was so clear in the novels. The battle at Hogwarts couldn't have been any better, it is brutal, explosive, at times funny and very well paced. Spells are fired in every direction, creatures kill mercilessly and the co-ordination of all the actors working together to portray this scene is so realistic i was at times doubtful this was just fictional.The emotion in this final part has not been kicked aside by the action it is still evident and powerful, particulairly Alan Rickman's scenes, where he shows just how good an actor he is and how well he plays Snape.This film is very near perfect, however some of the vital scenes in teh book were either cut short or not included at all. For example the final confrontation between harry and Voldemort is over way too soon, the battle is at times disjointed but still very well staged, hagrid's part is cut down way too much as are ron and hermione's. However these things are not serious enough to affect the five star rating, though it would have been better to see them included and or extended.There are no words to describe how sad it is that this will be the last Harry Potter, but what a finale it is.The whole production is very near perfect, from the cgi to the acting, through the seven years of Harry Potter we have been witness to something completely awe inspiring and magical, to have grown up with Harry, Hermione and Ron has been a pleasure. J K Rowling has made millions of people happy, i am just one of those millions. She couldn't have given the rights to a better film company as Warner Bros and everyone who worked on the Potter films has made it possible for muggles to be a part of the Wizarding World.

For fans of Harry Potter this final installment, Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2 is absoloutely unmissable! It makes everyhting from film 1 worth while. It was by far the best, and i would even go as far to say, "THE BEST FILM EVER!"The central plot in the film is very powerful, being basically about good versus evil. That may not sound like much, but trust me, it is a lot more. The main cast and surrounding faces play a brilliant part and the film is very emotional at times, due to their brilliant performances and srength of storyline. There are so many things I could talk about in this film, and we could be here all day. As I was talking about the acting, the performances from Daniel Radcliffe and the actors who played Snape and Voldermort were particularly impressive.This is by far the best of the Harry Potter films. The Blu-Ray transfer of this film is great as well, making viewing excellent. One thing I would say though, is that the film is rather dark a lot of the time. Well the film is dark (in terms of storyline to start with), but I am referring to the picture quality. It is Blu-Ray standard, but the visuals are very dark. The producers and makers of the film did this in order to make it an age rating of 12, meaning hiding the blood and guts and gore, being cloaked behind the blackness of the picture. This was done in order to keep the younger viewers that had been with the franchise since it had begun, meaning no explicit footage was shown, therefore not making it an age rating of 15 or 18.So, that is the main bulk of my review, I could go into more detail, but I don't want to analyse too much as you need to see the film for yourseleves. It is a fantastic film, see if you haven't already and the Blu-Ray is magnificent. So, go get it. I would also like to mention that soem people in other reviews complaiend about the ending to the movie, don't listen. I loved the ending, and I'm sure if you are reading this review, you will too. Buy this film and watch HP's final installment in what will surely be one of the most memorable and groundbreaking film series franchise's of all time - thank you J.K Rowling, this show will be missed and your imaginative mind will be too.

realy good film

This final film in the 'Harry Potter' series is definitely one of the best in the series with great action, emotional moments and a relatively good resolution. The main part of the film is the climactic battle at Hogwarts and this was a very entertaining fight. On the downside thought, I do feel that some more of this conflict probably should have been shown a bit more of the wider conflict as a whole rather than mostly following the main characters. The plot of the film is relatively good, with some nice twists, as well as some good emotional scenes. The CGI used in the film is very good throughout, as are the performances of the entire cast.The two-disc DVD set includes all the usual special features that would be expected from a 'Harry Potter' DVD, and although I haven’t had a chance to watch them yet I would expect them to be just as good as those in previous sets.Overall, this was a very nice ending to the film series that I feel is worth around four and a half stars.

Great value

Bought for my son whose Harry Potter mad have already watch it 3 times and I'm sure there will be more.Great family film for all those Harry Potter fans out there
