Movie Review: Harry Potter and

 Haya Haha.


"Neither can live while the other survives"

Harry Potter:  it's the series of books written by J.K Rowling, the series that broke many records around the world. The last Harry Potter movie, directed by David Yates, was released July fifteenth of this year. It was the perfect ending to the Harry Potter phenomenon.

 The previous movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, ended with Harry, Ron and Hermione looking for the Horcruxes, and Voldemort snatching the elder wand from  Dumbledore's grave. In this movie, the search for the Horcruxes continues. However, the action is taken back to Hogwarts where everyone unites to put an end to all the corruption created by Voldemort.

The movie begins with our three wizards deciding to break into Gringotts  because they believe that one of the horcruxes is hidden there, as they make their miraculous escape they decide that they should head to Hogwarts because they think that another horcurux lies there. Voldemort follows them to Hogwarts and this is when Hogwarts’ battle begins. After the death of Severus Snape, Harry finds out from Snape’s memories that he should die in order for Voldemort to die as well; since Harry himself is a horcurux.

Harry gathers all his bravery and goes to hand himself in to Voldemort, at that very moment the snitch that Dumbledore gave him opens and inside was the Resurrection Stone that can summon ghosts; Harry sees all his family in front of him and this encourages him to go through with his decision, but when he is “killed” only the part of Voldemort that is living within him dies and he stays alive.

Then the battle starts again, Neville kills the last horcurux, Nagini (Voldemort’s snake) and this is when Harry makes his move and kills Voldemort. A scene after 19 years follows the final part at Hogwarts, showing Harry, Jenny, Ron and Hermione with their children at platform 9 3/4.


From the way I see it, this movie is the best one out of all eight. The events in the movie were almost as detailed as the ones in the book, although it's the only movie from the whole series where the differences between the book and the movie are major; some scenes were changed completely.  However, nothing is perfect!

The best thing about this movie is that the director was even able to show all the action, emotions, and anxiety that Rowling's strong words were able to create in the book.

I can say that since it's the last movie, the director, the actors and the entire crew put all their effort in it, to create a movie that even beat star wars. So I conclude by saying I give the movie 9.5/10.
