Retroview: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Pt. 2

A Retroview Review.

Luke here, with a quick and dirty reflection on WB's nightcap of a movie.

 

HP7II is a difficult movie to talk about, because it's not really a complete vision. It marks the completion of a full work, be it the entire series, or just HP7, but HP7II is, in itself, not a whole movie. I'm going to say right here and now that I loved watching it, and am incredibly pleased to see it opening night with all the squealing fully grown adults, but that I felt cheated. This review will not be a recap of the other movies, or a discussion on the end of an era, or the end of a series. There will be a time and place for that, and I don't believe that this is that time. For now we have this final offering, this desert of a movie to consume, digest, and reflect upon. No spoilers here, but I have a feeling you already know how it ends, either because you read the book, or you've already seen the movie (judging by the box office numbers, you've probably already seen it). Here we go!
