Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2- Blu Ray review
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Rating: M
Released by Warner Home video
The final part of the final Harry Potter film is unleashed on the
world - and with it, the end of a saga which has entranced a world
and created a multi million dollar lifestyle for creator JK
Rowling.
As you'll remember from the first part of the Deathly Hallows film,
Harry, Hermione and Ron set out to find the Dark Lord's Horcruxes
(a sort of magical object which gives Voldemort his power) and
destroy them - in the hope that that will end this battle once and
for all.
This film takes up right after the end of the last, with Dobby the
elf despatched, the battle lines drawn and Harry aware the ultimate
battle is nearing a final perhaps fatal end.
But as the fate and destiny of Voldemort and Harry Potter play out,
the path leads back to Hogwarts and to a dark secret which will
finally settle the score between the Wizarding world and the Muggle
World...
Quite frankly, what a stunning, magical epic and emotionally
rewarding end to the long running and much loved saga
It's a truly unexpected film - there are moments of absolute
silence where the acting simply takes the foreground and the
soundtrack goes silent and thematically, there is much to engage
the grey matter (although a spiritual flight of fantasy does feel a
little unnecessary and meandering even though it's a metaphysical
jaunt into Harry's psyche- and don't even get me started on the "19
Years Later" epilogue which is cloying and sickly saccharine and
ultimately unnecessary and disappointing).
This is the Harry Potter film I've been waiting for in many ways;
perhaps, it was inevitable that it would be the final film which
got it right, but as a closing chapter, it's near perfect and is
the best send off it could ever have been given.
Extras: A shedload of stuff as you'd expect for the last one -
featurettes galore and additional scenes
Rating: 8/10
