Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ( July 2011)

A scene from the movie

With all the hysteria, and the endless fanfare, the final Harry Potter movie in the franchise did release worldwide gathering that one last applause, leaving behind a decade full of magic. The final journey of Harry, Hermione and Ron, to defeat the dark Lord Voldemort once and for all ended in perhaps the most spectacular way.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is definitely one of the finest among all the previous movies, with its special effects and 3D cinematic experience. The movie opens from where the part 1 ended, with the trio trying to find and destroy the other horcruxes. From breaking into the wizards' bank Gringotts to escaping on a dragon, the movie encapsulates action to its zenith. But this is just the beginning as more action awaits them in the battle of Hogwarts which is the final call of good versus evil. But beyond the extremely brilliant work by the action team, what make this movie stand apart are many other aspects. In terms of acting, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) truly outdoes himself, along with Rupert (Ron) and Emma (Hermione). The emotions that Dan portrays of despair and hope simultaneously interwoven with the fact that he has to go on fighting despite any circumstances, make him outshine in this film. Along with Radcliffe, the actor who holds the story together is Alan Rickman ( Professor Snape). His presence in the picture, tumults the entire scene to a different level altogether, which carries a high emotional quotient. Supporting cast including- Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Matthew Lewis also bring their own share of magic, to add to the film. Ralph Fiennes, who plays Voldemort is as vile and anti-humane, as any Potter fan would have imagined him to be.

But, what makes this film excellent, is its screenplay and background score. Steve Kloves work of building this story into a movie, is executed beautifully. The magnanimous task of fitting in every aspect of the book, so that no person in the theatre gets confused or misses any important part, has been done brilliantly. Any avid series' reader will definitely agree to that, keeping in mind the time frame. Along with that, the music that surrounds every dimension of every character's life in this movie is what makes the film unforgettable. Alexandre Desplat's outstanding background score, ranging from the battle to Snape's memories, brings tears to the eyes of every Potter fan. A cauldron full of these elements, brought together under David Yates direction, makes this movie the best of all. So, as Harry bids his last farewell to the people across the world, he does that in such a way that no one can forget it for a very long time to come.

With all the action and emotion, Harry Potter does leave an enchanted experience, perhaps teaching some of life's hardest lessons in a way, that will be remembered forever.
