Harry Potter Legacy

I am about the biggest Harry Potter fan you can find. I am the definition of obsessed. So, when the last movie ever came out, I had no choice but to see it at midnight. I expected lot of sadness, but I was wreck at the end. Here's my [fan] review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2:

The last film in the Harry Potter saga picks up directly where the previous film left off. There is even a flashback to the last moments of the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Shortly after that, we get reminded of the death of a very reliable house-elf named Dobby. Within a few minutes of screen time, it is decided that Harry, Ron, and Hermione have to break into Gringotts bank to find a Horcurux hidden in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault there. Did any of that sentence make sense? If not, you've never seen a Harry Potter film and would most likely sit in the theater confused for most of the film's 2 hour and 10 minute run time.

When the trio breaks into Gringotts, the action starts. That's nothing compared to later in the film. Harry and Co. have to stop the evil Lord Voldemort, but first they still have some Horcuruxes to find. They are back to Hogwarts. Soon, an all out war is being fought between the good wizards and the Death Eaters.

Obviously a lot more happens, but it is too complicated to explain without going on for ages.
This is by far the best in the series. It has all of the action, acting, writing, and heroics that some of the other films in the series fell short of.

If Part 1 and Part 2 were combined into one long film, it would be even more amazing than this!

My list of favorite Harry Potter films in order:
1) HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
2) HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban
3) HP and the Half-Blood Prince
4) HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
5) HP and the Goblet of Fire
6) HP and the Sorcerer's Stone
7) HP and the Chamber of Secrets
8) HP and the Order of the Phoenix

I will always remember Harry Potter, and I couldn't be happier with the overall series. Even the worst movie is still far better than any Transformers movie. I'm just glad that they did these films right.
