The snipped corners have been noticeable, but never problematic, with even the average fan who's never picked up one of the books (a.k.a. The rest of the 'Harry Potter' cinematic saga has been racing against the clock since 2001, cleaving away entire subplots and characters to fit an average running time of 150 minutes. The crucial element at play here in 'Deathly Hallows' is time. Facing horrific threats from all sides, Harry takes off with friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) into the wilds of the world, armed with their Hogwarts training and special gifts from Dumbledore's will, used to combat attacks from Voldemort's minions, trackers, and the Horcruxes themselves, which extract dreadful thoughts out of anyone who possesses them. For Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), the time has come to abandon the life he once knew and begin the hunt for special Horcruxes, pieces of Voldemort's soul that, if destroyed, can end his heinous reign. With the Ministry of Magic in the Dark Lord's pocket and Hogwarts without their influential leader, it appears all hope is lost.

Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has grown in power, with his Death Eater army sent out into the world to eradicate all Muggles. The first half of this final battle is a tonally unstoppable creature, blessed with a startling sense of stamina and grandeur to support the epic tale of a boy wizard facing a dire journey towards manhood.ĭumbledore is dead. But that's cynicism, and there's nothing cynical about this gorgeously crafted, perilous journey with three heroes who've grown up before our eyes over the last decade, iconically repelling evil with the support of a miraculous, focused production team. Rowling's wizard phantasmagoria, 'Deathly Hallows' has been chopped into two feature films to capture the full lung capacity of the material, and perhaps yank some additional box office coin along the way.

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' is at least 1/2 of a proper conclusion.
