Sure at the end of Part 1 Voldemort gets the want he so badly seeks for and leaves then the films ends on a giant cliffhanger. Part 1 to me also felt unfinished (well it was only half the book I suppose!), I mean in the way that it was long and never seemed to climax. Not everything written down on paper will translate into visually appealing footage. Sure they leave out a lot of information that the books provide but that's the same with all film adaptations! They've got the main story down and where they've deviated from the book it has been for the best. I feel that these small touches bring the films closer to our hearts and help us to connect with the film a lot more. What I especially love about this film and Part 1 is the direction in which they've taken, adding more cheesy lines and (for example in Part 1) that dance sequence. Will Voldemort Succeed? Or will good trump evil? For those who haven't read the book this is your chance to find out. Along the way they encounter a variety of creatures, both friend and foe from dragons to spiders, death eaters to old friends and of course, the Dark Lord himself.
Their final journey takes them to places we may not have seen recently or remembered, places such as Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. This is the only way that will give them a chance of stopping He Who Must Not Be Named. I won't go into much more detail in what happens as most people will have read the book and I don't want to drop spoilers! Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) need to seek out and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. He finally has the power to kill Harry Potter. The film (in case you're wondering) picks up straight after where Part 1 ended, Voldemort (Ralph Finnes) has the most powerful wand in his possession and he's finally ready to succeed in what he tried to do over 15 years ago.
I'm very pleased to say that he's pulled it off ending the series in a fast paced, well written final act. This pleases me because these 3 films are my personal favourites out of the 7 that have come out so far so I think it's fair to say that I was expecting big things from this. Director David Yates, who also directed the 5th, 6th and 7th films is back to direct the final.
First impressions of the film? Brilliant. I quite luckily got the chance to see this at an early screening on July 7th.
