After
eight
films
in
10
years,
director
David
Yates
has
ended
the
the
successful
franchise
of
Harry
Potter
with
a
satisfying
conclusion
in
Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hallows
Part
2.
This
final
installment
is
the
shortest
of
all
the
Harry
Potter
films
and
the
movie
buffs
are
sure
to
receive
it
as
a
worthy
climax.
Screenwriter
Steve
Kloves
has
penned
the
script
for
Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hallows
Part
2
based
the
novel
of
JK
Rowling.
The
is
all
about
the
final
confrontation
between
Harry
and
Voldemort,
the
ultimate
showdown
between
good
and
evil.
The
climax
of
the
film
is
the
major
attraction
of
the
film.
The
plot
of
this
final
installment
of
the
Harry
Potter
series
has
lot
of
energy
and
zest.
There
are
some
superb
scenes,
which
have
a
power
that
was
missing
in
the
previous
films.
There
is
less
footling
about
and
has
a
faster
pace.
David
Yates
has
given
greater
attention
to
narrative
balance
and
refinement.
The
movie
is
concise,
rousing
and
frequently
moving.
Harry
(Daniel
Radcliffe),
Hermione
(Emma
Watson)
and
Ron
(Rupert
Grint)
keep
their
spirits
up
to
find
and
destroy
the
Horcruxes
that
contain
chunks
of
Lord
Voldemort"s
dark
soul.
But
their
quest
takes
them
back
to
Hogwarts
boarding
school.
Helped
by
the
redoubtable
Professor
McGonagall
(Maggie
Smith),
they
endure
a
tortuous
siege,
before
Harry
has
to
come
face
to
face
with
Voldemort
(Ralph
Fiennes)
himself.
Daniel
Radcliffe
has
taken
the
whole
responsibility
of
running
the
show
on
his
shoulders
and
Emma
Watson
and
Rupert
Grint
have
lent
stalwart
support,
but
one
can
not
stop
appreciating
Radcliffe's
accomplishment
here.
The
movie
also
gives
a
chance
to
make
a
brief
appearance
to
the
departed
or
absented
characters
of
Gary
Oldman,
Emma
Thompson,
Jim
Broadbent,
Timothy
Spall,
Miriam
Margolyes,
Julie
Walters
and
others.
Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hallows
Part
2
has
sound
production
values
and
there
is
nothing
to
complain
about
technical
elements.
Eduardo
Serra's
cinematography
outclasses
his
work
in
previous
films.
Some
of
Nick
Dudman's
makeup
effects
are
sensational.
Alexandre
Desplat's
score
is
arguably
the
best
yet
for
the
series,
briefly
incorporating
echoes
of
John
Williams'
original
themes
while
richly
boosting
the
already
heightened
drama
of
this
sendoff
to
such
a
tremendously
successful
series.
