REEL Review
I am really an HP fan, so I have been waiting for this film since HP 6. I know everyone is excited as Harry Potter ends his battle with the Dark Lord. David Yates satisfactorily gave justice to the world of Harry Potter fans. He metamorphosed JK Rowling's book into an elaborative and remarkable display on a lavish scale.

The settings are just the way I imagined them to be when I read the book. There are just some cuts from the book, but I know it can't be helped. Still the whole story was preserved.

Radcliffe looks too fledged for a 17-year old boy. But his acting surmounted the odds. Together with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, the trio has never failed to satisfy the crowd. These three were perfectly picked for their role. Perfect acting and execution since the first film. They have been under 4 directors (Chris Columbus - 1 and 2, Alfonso Cuaron - 3, Mike Newell - 4 and David Yates - 5, 6, 7A, 7B), but remained the same actors and actress that have duly done their part.

Helena Bonham Carter is still my favorite death eater. I don't know, I love watching her on screen playing the role of Bellatrix. When it's Helena, it's Bellatrix. Never mind the Red Queen (Alice in Wonderland) and Queen Elizabeth (The King's Speech).

I can say that HP movie has matured since The Sorcerer's Stone. There is more than fighting the antagonist by doing some magic. It has been beautifully flicked, putting more emotions into every character. Powered by the striking visual effects, the action part disported heavily, goading intensity to the viewers. If there is one disappointment that I felt, it is the feeling of a broken momentum when the credits rolled. Aw, 7 months to wait. Feels like a thousand years. Having made it this far, Potter fans will not be admonished by the first part's halt, but will expect a truly outstanding bow.
