Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 Harry Vs Voldemort
Vickiana Sconyers
Having nixed the 3am showing in IMAX of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I, on Friday morning, I woke up very early on a Saturday morning to make it to the 9:30am show. I have been a Harry Potter fan from the first book and from the very first movie, so of course I had to see this film within the first few days of release. Overall, it was good, and very true to the book, but I think that most of this installment in the series is a build-up for Part II of the Deathly Hallows. As a result I did find that it dragged in places, especially during scenes when they were traveling (i.e., the incessant camping) or working out next steps, and while the action scenes were pretty awesome, I found myself waiting for things to happen.
That said, while many people may think that it was a money-making gimmick to split the last book into two movies (and it very well may be), there is so much information in this book which was translated quite accurately in Part I, including the retrieval of the next horcrux, their journey to destroy it, and the revelation of the story of the Deathly Hallows (which is integral to the culmination of this epic story), that Part I does it tremendous justice.
