Fiennes and Rickman get the actorly moments they've been building toward for so long, and the film is most fun when it sticks to mechanics: roller coaster rides, battle scenes, close calls.
Top CriticIn the 10 years since Harry's first big- screen close-up, the spell has never been broken. And we Muggles have been made better for the magic.
It's a pleasant irony that, just as the first installments of Rowling's oeuvre were better suited to page than screen, the final installments have reversed the relationship.
When the movie was over, a young boy sitting behind me said, "That was great!" He was satisfied, and rightly so.
This is the way The Harry Potter saga was meant to end.
Fasten your seat belts. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2is an emotional roller-coaster ride.
Radcliffe's interpretation of Harry has been exemplary, truly amazing when you think about it.
This enthralling film ends the series on a high note, exceeding expectations and delivering a fine conclusion to the films.
It's a fight to the death, as good and evil whip out their wands and cross swords amid the ruins of what used to be the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is a bittersweet parting for the Boy Who Lived, an excellent finale for the popular boy wizard who has captured the hearts of so many people.
Passable, well-acted, but not one of the best films of the series.
The movie ... manages to be a worthy ending to what has become one of the greatest film franchises ever released.
Part 2 ends up being a worthy note for this decade-long franchise to go out on with a satisfying conclusion to bid farewell to these enduring characters.
What truly unifies this ten-year, eight-film saga is the sense of kinship with its lead trio of young wizards.
Ending the light fantastic
A wonderfully rich adaptation of the final book's last act, but the central focus on the three leads might leave some fans disappointed, especially those seeking a more thorough adaptation.
For the most part, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II picks up right where Part I, the franchise's shining beacon on a hill, leaves off.
It all ends. And to be sure, it's a fitting end for the storied franchise.
Deeply moving and perfectly phrased at every turn, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 bids adieu to a little piece of history in first-class style, and a beautifully heavy heart.
For the most part, the final movie delivers the combination of emotional intensity and rousing battle sequences befitting the end of a phenomenon that evolved from an unexpectedly popular children's book series to an era unto itself.
From any perspective-technical, emotional, storytelling-"Deathly Hallows: Part 2" is a smashing success.
While swept up in the desperate search for Horcruxes, Yates allows us to feel once more as though we are very much in the middle of things, but, alas, it was a trick and a false hope, because in the end...it was, irrevocably, THE END.
This is exactly what you would expect - a perfect and exciting ending for those who have been following the franchise. Those who couldn't care less probably stopped reading ages ago.
It makes a fitting conclusion to a series that most of the film-going public has been following for over a decade.
Even contrarians for whom the incredibly popular series has been an uneven road will admit that in this final stop, a team of talented filmmakers have saved their best for last.

Easily the most action packed of the movies and in reality its just the final act of a very long movie. Watch part 1 before seeing part 2 just to make sure you have the set up all fresh in your heads.
From Rickman to Fiennes to Carter to Smith to everyone inbetween everyone shines, not just the big names Radcliffe, Grint and Watson who once again prove that casting directors sometimes get things right. If anything the casting of the Harry Potter franchise get a lifetime achievement award. Spot on across the board.
Deathly Hallows Part 2 was what we all wanted. From beginning to end we were given a ride that is for the fans of this series. If you are not, not sure whats wrong with you but move along. This is not a movie someone can just pick up and go along with, there is no emotional ties unless you have invested the time and energy into the entire series and than the payoff is magnificent.
The Harry Potter films should go down in history as a masterpiece of storytelling.
