Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II Casual Critic Score: 8.5 out of 10 Release Date: July 15, 2011 Rating: PG-13 Length: 130 minutes Genre: Adventure, Drama, Fantasy Fan-tasy Harry Potter, the boy who lived. His story is concluded remarkable well in this last installment in-stallment of the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time. Join Harry and the gang for the final time as their story builds to its inevitable finish, revealing the results of their efforts in this good vs. evil adventure. Reading the final book mesmerized mes-merized me, especially in its final chapters. The images of battles and exciting duels raced through my mind as I tried to imagine what those scenes would look like on the big screen. Having just seen the realization of those imaginations, I'll confess that some of my expectations were exceeded, and some of my expectations ex-pectations left me disappointed. I won't say anything to spoil any plot points in case you're one of the last 14 people who haven't yet seen the film, but the demise of key characters weren't given the screen-time they deserved. Also, some important characters and the actors representing them didn't have nearly the impact on us we were hoping for. Nonetheless, Nonethe-less, Harry, Hermoine, and Ron were given plenty of breathing room to connect with their loyal audience for a worthy goodbye. The result is deeply satisfying satis-fying and emotionally enduring. endur-ing. The transformation we've witnessed in these young actors from their first film together until now is indescribable.
