After seven earlier films reaching back a decade, the Harry Potter saga comes to a solid and satisfying conclusion in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.' The finale conjures up enough awe and solemnity to serve as an appropriate finale and a dramatic contrast to the lighthearted (relative) innocence of 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' all those magical years ago. Harry, Hermione and Ron are grown up now, and Harry has even grown the facial stubble required of all epic heroes. The time has come for him to face Lord Voldemort in their final showdown, and their conflict is staged in a series of special effects sequences containing power and conviction. I am still not sure what the bolts discharged by magic wands actually consist of, but never mind. How to make rainbow in a jar.
They look wicked and lethal. I dare not reveal a single crucial detail about the story itself, lest I offend the Spoiler Police, who have been on my case lately.
Besides, you never know. Maybe they've completely rewritten J. Rowling's final book in the series. Maybe Harry dies, Voldemort is triumphant, and evil reigns.
What I can observe is that this final film is a reunion of sorts for a great many characters we've come to know over the years. So many distinguished British actors have played roles in the Potter films that those who haven't may be fitfully resentful.
Here we see once again characters whose names were once new and now resonate with associations: Bellatrix Lestrange, Rubeus Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore, Ollivander, Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin and even Prof. Minerva McGonagall, who is called upon to summon her powers and shield Hogwarts School from the powers of Voldemort. You don't want to know what happens to Hogwarts here. Many of its shining spires and noble gothic arches are reduced to ruin and ashes, providing an apocalyptic battleground. The school also seems to have mysteriously relocated adjacent to towering heights that permit vertiginous falls to the earth far below. There is no place in Britain that fits this geography, but then is Hogwarts quite in the real Britain?
What is does occupy is a Britain of the imagination. The series has remained faithful to J. Rowling's original conception, and resisted temptations to cheapen its action or simplify its complexity.
She created a fictional world with its own logic and consistency, and here at the finale, there is some satisfaction in seeing loose ends tied up, lingering mysteries explained and suspicions confirmed. In a dreamy sequence, we are allowed to see the characters as they were in the beginning.
They were so young. By spanning something like real time, the story has grown older along with them., born 1989, was 11 when he first played Harry Potter, is 21 now, and he and Ron Weasley () and Hermione Granger () have luckily remained recognizable and soldiered on through what involved a great deal of hard labor.
Not many young actors have been worked so relentlessly for a decade. That said, it's apparent again in this film that the three leads are upstaged by the supporting characters. Their role is to be plucky, clean-cut and stalwart. They sneak around and observe things. They eavesdrop.
