As much as I believe that films should always stand on their own, this is the eighth film in a major movie franchise, which has a “ Part 2” subtitle no less one should definitely at least try to come into this film with some ideas in mind as to what lead up to this point in the story.

Now, with that out of the way, it is also important to note that this series finale is not the film you want to seek out if you have not already seen the other films. My thoughts can be summed up better in my review of the first half of this story, located HERE, but essentially – I did not read the books, but I have followed the films. Upon reaching the end of the film, I cannot quite say that I felt the emotional resonance that has factored heavily into other well-beloved franchises, but this film does manage to do enough justice to conclude what has become quite the magical saga.Īs with “ Part 1,” it should be important to note my exposure to this series.

This is certainly one of the best made films of the franchise, when accounting for several aspects such as the look of the film, the use of special effects, the acting, and for the most part, the film’s narrative drive to the finish. Now, with the series finally coming to a close, one can only hope to relish in how aptly this film series manages to wrap itself up. While some of the films are better than others, this is a rare feat to have seen be accomplished. Never has a major motion picture series managed to maintain all of the key actors for every major role as well as maintain a consistent level of quality all the way through. This is a pretty major event as far as large film series go. So finally, after a decade’s worth of film, we have now reached the end of the Harry Potter movie franchise (minus potential spin-offs or whatever).
