REEL Review
So this is it - Harry's final bow. I've been waiting and was really so excited about this final installment of the Harry Potter series. Mixed emotions actually.

I witnessed Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson grow up, mature, improve and take success in their careers since Harry Potter 1. And I can say that Harry Potter films put them to their rightful places as to where they are now. Whoever they are now, they owe it to the series.

For this film, the center character is Severus Snape. Alan Rickman brought the character to life. The antagonist for the first 7 films suddenly became the hero. He seems to be the evilish one since the beginning, but his final curtain had just introduced him to be a very noble man, who values what love is, and had shown that we always have our 'other side' no matter who we seem to be in everyone's eyes.

As expected, Part 2 is awesome. Many has been changed from the original plots as told by the book, but the soul of the final battle was carefully patched and was put to extraordinary extent. David Yates can take his long vacation and celebrate. He did a really great job. Many were clapping in the cinema at the end of the film. I did not though, but in my mind I did.

Part 2 has a quicker pace, but more compacted. Very thrilling, each character possess a brawny grapheme making the entire film a powerful one. Harry Potter series is a complex book, and highly imaginative. Putting the whole thing into a film, packed with a glorious ending, seems to be a relentless job for the people behind it. No need to mention the cinematography and special effects.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 just simply agitated and fired up everything and justly serves as a fickle ending with a twist of a drama.

Masterpiece. Worthy. Magical.

So long, Harry.
