Alright. I decided to write a review from the new Harry Potter which I saw few days ago.
_______________

Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows part 2 - WARNING! CONTAINS SPOILERS
_______________
The newest Harry Potter movie starts off from where we were left from the previous installment to the series. From the spot where Dobby was buried. The movie starts off quickly, leading the kids immediately to Gringotts where they broke into a building with hell of a tight security. Being double crossed by Griphook and left for dead in the dark tunnels after finding new Horcrux from Bellatrix Lestrange's vault. To escape from the tunnels, they capture a guardian Dragon and fly off with it, killing everyone while at it (yeah it's awesome xd)

The story progresses quickly into Hogsmead where Harry and his gang are trying to gain entry to the Hogwarts. No other than Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth, helps them while at it and they arrive in Hogwarts. It's not hard ot guess that there's a horcrux hidden inside of the castle and the kids/adults and teachers take it over. This results Voldemort declare a war in the Hogwarts castle grounds.

When the fighting begins, Harry is off to seek the Horcrux while Hermione and Ron are going to Chamber of Secrets to pluck some teeth off the dead basilisk. Harry Potter finds the new Horcrux in the Room of Requirement, Malfoy appears and Harry, Ron and Hermione are saving Malfoy and some black guy after Goyle kills himself with a sea of Fire. The best part of this scene is most likely when Harry attempts to kill the Horcrux from the room of requirement with Basilisk fang and Ron kicks the dying Horcrux in the fire, which results the fire to gain Voldemort's visage xd.

The rest of the movie is a quick blur. Snape dies, Harry learns truth about him, Harry dies, Fred dies, Lupin dies, Tonks dies and Harry clashes wands with Voldemort five or six times. Yeah, I cried when Snape died and all the good guys died but still it got boring by then.

Voldemort's defeated and in the end of the movie you see him with his children 19 years later. End of the story
Overall the movie was the good and had elements from the previous movies which is good. The few things that bothered me were:

1. Cool guys dying. Why Fred? T^T
2. Neville's skills. I mean, two years ago he was still a chump now he's killing Horcruxes and fighting Deatheaters
3. the speed of the movie. Sure, it took Harry and the gang six years to kill two Horcruxes. In the four hours ( 7 part 1 and 2 ) after it he kills a whole lot of them including himself.
4. Emma Watson's acting. She's just not that good actor. Only thing she did well in the movie was crying and kissing, though she kissed only once.

I would rate this movie 8.5 or 9/10 and I'll surely buy the movie and watch it later.

I don't liked your review.

1. He had to die since it was like that in the book. That was also the trigger of anger of Molly.
2. He's pretty good now. Since he was the one who maintained Dumledore's Army together in the trio's absence at Hogwarts.
3. Well, nobody knew the existence of the Horcruxes till Dumbledore found the ring in the 6th.
4. Don't you dare insult my darling <3:p

My own review ---

It is the best movie visually, no doubt on that. Story-wise though, I still find COS the best of all movies. This one is great movie-wise though. If not my favorite, then surely second-best.

For those who read the book, obviously, you are going to whine. But as someone who read that last book so many times, I know what I'm saying. This movie is perfectly depicted until the scene with Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest.

What were perfect? The scene at Gringotts, the story of Snape (another fab. performance by Alan Rickman), the scene in Room of Requirement, some good moments. Basically, everything was great until the scene in the Forest where they went on the lines of a movie and not as per the book.
Disappointing there till the 19 years later. Though if you didn't read the book, even the ending shall seem a beauty. Especially in 3D. It's a visual treat for sure.
Though I wanted the Hogwarts students to sing Voldy Gone Moldy over his dead shell (they didn't because I wonder for what reasons, everyone were becoming ashes while being killed). Still, the end of Voldemort in 3D was awesome visually. Really lively. If I didn't read the book, I will have been crazy at that point but eventually that was not the case.

All-in-all, 80% of the movie were picture-perfect to the book, perfectly depicted. I'll give it 8.5/10. (8/10 for content, 5/5 for visuals+soundtrack, 4/5 for acting). It's perfect cinematically though.

True. The only flaw of the movie is that it's based on the book which the most of flaws I listed were from.

Still, I don't like Emma Watson for some reason. She's been just acting poor after Order of the Pheonix in my opinion.

You did, the scene in the book was more emotional I think. That's my opinion though i would rate the movie 10/10. Its freaaakin' epic and my fave movie. It was kinda sad when Fred died. :'(

Wew, don't even wanna remember that part.
