Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Movie Review

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 continues the journey of Harry and his friends (Ron and Hermione) in search of more of The Dark Lord's horcruxes, finally ending with the final battle between Harry Potter and The Dark Lord.

Now this movie is very much like it's predecessor i.e. Adventurous and Thrilling. Although still not as good as the novel but it does keep the story identical, with a few changes here and there in order to save time and to create dramatization. It also contains a few humor not present in the novel, but it works well at times when there are long and monotonous conversations. As the previous chapter this too focusses a lot on Harry, Ron and Hermione and the rest of the characters have a very limited role which they have done well. Hence, the positives:
1. Performances: Everyone has played their part well, no doubt, the stakes are always high for Harry Potter movies but they were much higher for the last chapter and everyone has given their 100% to it.
2. Screenplay: Screenplay was very well written. As it is always very difficult when you are writting an adapted screenplay, the writer took great care not to change the story too much compared to the novel and still managed to create a lot more thrill in the action sequences.
3. Cinematography: This is the department in which the 3D was evident. The camera angles in not only the action sequences but also in the much stable scenes was kept such that the whole set must be visible giving details about the distances.
4. Art Direction and Set Decoration: Thanks to the 3D and the amazing cinematography the sets just awed the audience. May it be the Gringott's vault or Hogwart's Room of Requirement, very hard work was done create those sets.
5. Costume Design: The wizard robes have always earned a lot of admirarion and this time was no different.
6. Sound Mixing: It was good, if not brilliant. You can distinguish between the sounds well and the infusion created sound not noise.

Negatives:
1. Background music: I think the background music was not very catchy. I hoped that they will use the famous theme more. But it seems that they have intentionally kept it constrained, due to the reasons unknown.
2. 3D Effects: 3D effects were not used to even half their ability. There were such scenes in the movie which could have made it to the top of the list of the best scenes ever, if only........

Overall it was an amazing watch for both, the people who have read the novel or those who have not. Although those who have read the novel might like to remember the novel rather than the movie, but it is expected isn't it. After all which of the last 7 movies have stood up to the standards of the novels. Therefore, I rate it as follows:
Entertainment rating: 4
Critics rating: 4
