What hasn't been said about the Harry Potter series? You either love it or hate it. But one thing that the movie going audience would probably agree on is that this is the best commercial theater adaptation of the similarly phenomenal novel by J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 or simply HP7: Part 2 is the second part and the conclusion to the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film adaptation. 

What can't be said about the film? They really gave it all on this last film. From set designs, special effects, to sound, almost all the production concepts are top notch. The people working on and behind the film had been doing this for ten years, so the acting is really excellent and the actors delivered what is expected of them. The story explains everything what there is to explain. You might eventually sympathize with a character who you previously hated, or lose admiration to another one whom you adored so much in the past films. In terms of action, it also delivers. The siege in Hogwarts felt like the siege in Lord of the Rings the Two Towers. When you compare a Harry Potter film to a Lord of the Rings films, it only means they made something really great in order to pull it off.

Some really minor complain I had is the lack of gimmicks in the credits of the film. This is the last film anyway so it wouldn't hurt that much to at least put some creative and fan service to movie goers. They could have at least put up collages of past and present production photos, set designs, or some artwork of Hogwarts or the character themselves. Well that is just some minor gripe, but I know that would be addressed in its DVD or Bluray release. I raised my eyebrow a bit after seeing the last few scenes of the film, I don't know if it is just me but tell me what you think about it after you've seen it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 7 is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Pinoy Movie Blogger easily recommends you to go see HP7: Pat 2 in the theaters nationwide this July 14, 2011.
