Yates and composer Alexandre Desplat mark the occasion by invoking John Williams' now iconic themes and fans of the series will will began to get weak at the knees. One spectacular – albeit semi-rushed – action scene later, the story finally returns to Hogwarts. We're dropped back into the world fully aware this is the calm before the storm. However, instead of immediately jumping into the action, the film takes a slow, methodical, even stoic approach at the start.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 begins – even before the Warner Bros. Director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves have no interest in playing catch up. If you haven't seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, watch it now. It left me feeling very, very happy indeed. Suffice to say, Potter holds a special place in my heart and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was my most anticipated film of the past several years. To further extend the connection, the first film – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone – was actually one of my first on-camera video interviewing experiences. Family and friends all joined in my passion as I passed the books along. I'd attend midnight releases of the books, read them greedily, then line up to see the movies opening night. These books were not just for kids, and reading the first few helped fill a void the Star Wars prequels could not. Even though I was in college when the series began, I was endlessly entertained and fascinated by Rowling's world. Harry Potter is a series that I've been a fan of since the beginning. So does Deathly Hallows Part 2 live up to the hype? I'm happy to say it does.īefore we get into the film, I feel a little bit of personal Potter context is needed. Unless Rowling decides otherwise (and she might), this film could very well be the final piece of the Harry Potter canon. The release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 marks the emotional climax of an era and is laden with almost insurmountable expectations.
