I’ve been waiting, anticipating this movie since Part One came out. In the beginning I was able to keep up, reading the books before seeing each one of the movies but in the past few years I’ve fallen behind. So I viewed both Part One and Part Two with fresh eyes, having no idea of the outcome of either movie. Not having read the books made me more eager to see the movie.

Each and every Harry Potter movie has impressed me with the quality and the strict adherence to the storyline in the book (for the ones where I read the book) so I went in with high expectations and was not disappointed.
There was much ground to cover finishing the fabulous tale of Harry Potter so it made sense to have two movies for the last book. This movie opened in a dark place with the death of Nobby the Elf. Harry, Hermione and Ron banded together to take out Voldemort, understanding there were still bridges to cross and objects that needed to be destroyed.

The movie sucked me in right away. Although I occasionally had trouble understanding all the dialogue spoken with British accents, I picked up the plot with no problem.  The symbols continue to fascinate as Harry trades the magic sword to a gnome for help entering the vault where one of the items they are seeking resides.

The hunt continues throughout the movie with more plot twists being revealed at every turn. The action leaves you breathless as magic and great writing keep you guessing every minute. Although the movie was long, it passed quickly because there was not one dull second. Just when you think you have it all figured out, J.K. Rowling turns everything on its head. The movie was fabulous whether you’ve read the book or not. Definitely headed for the top ten, this don’t miss movie had many scary moments with that huge, nasty snake, a frightening fire-breathing dragon and assorted huge warriors. It is best for children 10 and up who won’t be frightened by large monsters on the screen. You do not have to have read all the books to enjoy this movie. See it with your kids; it’s a cinematic ride like none other.
