Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II

"With its accelerated rhythm, relentless flow of incident and wizard-war endgame, Part 2 will strike many viewers as a much more exciting, involving picture than the slower, more atmospheric Part 1."

"This is the Harry Potter film I've been waiting for in many ways; perhaps, it was inevitable that it would be the final film which got it right, but as a closing chapter, it's near perfect and is the best send off it could ever have been given."

"Fusing spectacle and emotion into a thrilling final chapter, director David Yates ensures that the series goes out with a bang. Finales don't come much grander than this."

"This is such an entertaining, beguiling, charming and exciting picture. It reminded me of the thrill I felt on seeing the very first one, 10 years ago."

"What becomes of the broken-hearted? We've made it to the final Harry Potter film. There will be no more goblins to gawk at, no more shouts of "Bloody hell!" from Ron – no more Harry!? Yet rather than having an empty yearning feeling inside, I feel satisfied."

"It all ends."

"A treat for Potter fans..."

"A worthy finale to this epic series"

"An outstanding capper to the most lucrative film franchise of all time."

"A worthy farewell that packs in as much action as its seven predecessors combined and manages not to stint on the emotional beats. Harry Potter leaves us as a quiet, bespectacled, corduroy-wearing hero for the ages."

"Whatever you think of JK Rowling's wizard creation, there's no doubt her stories have helped shape Generation Hex - the children who have grown up captivated by each instalment of the adventures of her school-age wizards and witches."
