Description

In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.

Good vs. evil etc.

Entertaining but too hurried. Nothing has any weight to it. About as much time is spent with 30-second cameos as with main characters, kind of like there's a giant curtain call (for the cast of eight movies) going on at the same time as the story. I had fun, though, despite a

before Harry and Hermione have an affair and Ron shoots one or both of them? Or casts some sort of spell. Whatever. After watching the whole series, I had no desire for another installment, but it was quite an experience to watch the three main actors grow up. Radcliffe, in particular, was amazing to be able to play a character with such high expectations and pull it off.
