Have you seen the new illustrations on the cover of the Harry Potter novels? Of course you have. You’re staring at one now. They are amazing. I already own the set, but after seeing these I want to purchase them again.
Would this review be about the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 or the book or both? I’m not too sure, but I guess I’m gonna start writing.
We caught this on the opening night, Thursday midnight. It was packed with you folks who probably learned to read reading the first Harry Potter book. And it was fun as everyone was into it. The last movie doing the last book, and doing it justice.
The first half hour was continuation of the first part and it felt like we walked into the middle of the film. It was the middle of the last film if you think about it. Then they went to get the horcruxes and the emotional rollercoaster began as the final parts of Harry Potter unspooled on screen. There was the Battle of Hogwarts and the final duel and then 17 year later. We were done and so is Harry’s story.
I think I like the final two books better than there movies. They were info dense and expository writing which made it difficult to bring to the screen a movie that “showed” rather than “tell.” I find that there is no money scene. The one to watch. I guess it is better in my head.
Overall, the movie is perfectly fine and wraps up the series well. I made everyone in the theatre happy and isn’t that how we wanted it?

Someone cool please write the Harry Potter wherein Hermione is in a shojo manga.
A muggle born girl finds out that she has been accepted into the prestigious Hogwarts Academy. When she arrives she has to negotiate through a new, magical setting and new, magical friends and/or rivals. She studies real hard to become one of the best students in her class and in all of Hogwarts, but finds that that is not enough to win the admiration of the school. She is overshadowed by Harry Potter. Harry Potter who seems to not do anything to achieve his standings. Harry Potter, mediocre in his studies. Harry Potter, mediocre in his magic. Harry Potter beloved by the school. Will this rivalry last throughout school and will it turn out to be something more? And what about Harry’s saucy sidekick, Ron Weasley. Quiet but friendly, Ron Weasley. Can he be the one?
Well, someone. Get started!
(I guess you really have to be into manga to understand how funny this would be. See Ouran High School Host Club, Kitchen Princess, etc.)
