  • 14

When the entire wizarding world seems to be turning to the Dark side, Harry, Ron and Hermione start an uphill task of the extermination of Voldemort. Their search for Horcruxes returns them to Hogwarts, climaxing in a battle where truths come out and fates are decided.

Hence the conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist is portrayed in inevitable battle centered on friendship, loyalty and sacrifice. It embraces a dark but fairytale ambiance, which is in harmony with the novel’s essence reminding of courage and solidarity.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson have demonstrated the evolution and determination of their personalities during the turmoil. This is especially referenced in the performance of Alan Rickman who gives different emotions in portrayal of the character Snape.

In the seventh episode by David Yates, the final part is well composed with respect to both sentimentality and action scenes. His direction helps to preserve the magic of the world and give the necessary conclusion to the bubbling franchise.

The music by Alexandre Desplat adds to the movie’s atmosphere and raises the emotional bar. It certainly adds a nice touch of appeal to important scenes, intensifies suspense and joyous moments.

The cinematography was just outstanding. This way the film most comprehensively conveys the scale of Hogwarts and theبنness of fight, thus enhancing the visual component of the film narration.

It adds to the feeling of the true world of the wizards and real, unfiltered by CGI, action scenes. Even the rooms, the corridors, and the grounds at Hogwarts as well as the scorched no man’s land in war scenes help to set the mood.

The impressive special effects are best seen at the wand fights and the warfare sequences in the movie. They make it realistic making the magics even more believable than they already are.

The flow of scenes is fast, but at the same time the change of actions with the focus on the emotions is smooth, that is why the viewers are active. It has thoughtful characterization of leading characters along with the clutch moments of the actual movie being a thrilling action movie. Strong feelings of the main characters’ interactions are successfully felt by the viewer.

Even though, sometimes it seems that the director overemphasizes the usage of special effects at the expense of dramatic scenes. Additionally, some subplots feel rushed, potentially leaving newcomers adrift in the vast narrative.

Seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Watching ‘Part 2’ ‘unfold’ was an exciting celebration of the uncertainties of change, the complications of growth and, in many cases, the satisfaction of a job well done. It touch my heart; full of friendship and right against evil in spectacular visual with great acting performances.
