Review
Continuing where the last movie left off, DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 was exciting but ultimately the final chapter of the film series. J. K. Rowling deserves to be proud of this interpretation of her last Harry Potter book, and wow, what a powerful finale! In this movie, there is a lot of spellbinding action and heartbreak. It contains more than a few surprises and continuing acting performances like Alan Rickman, who appears in his last time as Severus Snape, a character he played since the first Harry Potter feature, The Philosopher's Stone.

DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 is the best of the Harry Potter features and my second favourite movie of 2011. I like to invite all my viewers to comment on what they think of the film, especially Potter fans.

Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Ever
