After a decade of amazing adventure, ultimately this summer is the actual bystander of how epic is the showdown between light and dark, good and evil when ‘The Boy Who Lived’ comes face to face with ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’. As the series evolves from Chris Columbus' fanciful kiddie-like dreamworld to something much more dark and complex, and this is where the climax that the entire movies have built towards finally plays out. One of the most successful film franchises in history finally draws to its emotional close, also suddenly reminding us of quite how lovingly constructed the franchise's four directors have crafted its on-screen presence over the years. And wrapped very properly with the highest scale of visual exposition that surpassed any of the other films and fused with the equal heart and emotion as Part I, “Deathly Hallows Part Two” truly solidify its place as one of the best final chapters of any movie franchise ever.

           

# After all, this final chapter is the ultimate showdown where only one side can win, and therefore, for once in a Harry Potter movie, the action is completely tense, thrilling and breathtaking from start to finish.

# The film left no time to waste and immediately reaches the first highlight of the magic with one of the finest looking dragons of movie history. The spectacular scene also designed specially for an eye-popping 3D experience.

# Though Part II was always meant to be an action-packed, high class special effect show off, yet unlike the mind-numbing action of “Transformers”, here you feel totally invested in the protagonists' plight since the filmmaker chooses to touch audiences rather than wow them.

# Director David Yates doesn’t forget to insert as much heart as before in the storytelling. The most emotional moment in the film is likely come from the justification for Severus Snape’s (Alan Rickman), one key sequences in the film and, perhaps, its best. Rickman himself undoubtedly does an outstanding job again here, gave the ever-enigmatic Snape some true soul.

# Screenwriter Steven Kloves translates Rowling's apocalyptic plot to the script with flair, managed to make a narrative line that satisfies as a conclusion without overplaying it.

# Thanks to a cast of terrific actors who convey the powerful and nuance performances also has gotten so good at bringing the details of the story to life. Even those who appear just briefly like John Hurt as the wandmaker Ollivander, Ciaran Hinds as Aberforth Dumbledore, and Gary Oldman as Sirius Black are so pitch-perfect.

# Harry's final showdown with Voldemort has given Radcliffe his best performance of the series. Carrying the movie on his shoulders, he has matured into confident young actor and puts forward some of the finest and most nuanced act as the narrative barrels towards its conclusion.

# The always excellent Ralph Fiennes in Voldemort skin is again presents the strongest, vicious, and most memorable performance ever as one of the biggest villain in movie history. When he spoke the Parseltongue, the language of snakes, is particularly chilling.

# Grint and Watson also seem to have more and more vanished into their characters. The emotional core the two have managed to create over the years with Radcliffe is what’s made this series special, more than the spectacular effects

# As this is also the last we’d see all the beloved Hogwarts professors including McGonagall (Maggie Smith), Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) , Flitwick (Warwick Davis) - as well as the members of the Order of the Phoenix- Remus Lupin (David Thewlis), Kingsley Shacklebolt (George Harris), Molly Weasley (Julie Walters)- and Yates provides each principally sufficient screen time for the heroic send-off they honestly ought to have.

# Walters, as Mrs Weasley, delivers a surprisingly stronger than ever performances here. She even has a particularly good moment when she gets to spit the line: “Not my daughter, you bitch!” at Helena Bonham Carter’s Bellatrix.

# Matt Lewis as Neville Longbottom also shines bright and stealing each of his scenes, further exemplify the supporting cast's weight.

# Alexandre Desplat, the gifted French composer of “The King's Speech”, produce a score that perfectly serves to boost the high stakes drama in the picture and even able to tie the series together.

# The ultimate battle, when Voldemort storm the Hogwarts with Death Eaters, Dementors, giants and large tarantulas, is as thrilling visualized on film as it was described on the pages of Rowling's book.

# The 3-D glasses are fortunately useful enough, the device made the battle scenes looks more impressive with the depth of field that suggests action in a real place. Also the scenes delving into Gringotts’ vaults or a Hogwarts’ secret room immerse us wonderfully to this magical world.

# While always have somewhat a bumpy ride when it comes to delivering on the expectations of its audience, it's truly remarkable that Yates has managed to wrap up the series with a finale that's as moving, spectacular and engaging for both die-hards and casual fans alike.
