Ladies and gentleman, it has happened. We will never see the bulky HP logo on the movie screen anymore....we will never watch another movie that involves Harry, Ron, and Hermione grow up and go on new adventures...it's over. And my eyes are still wet from all the crying I did.

Alas, I just came back from the movie, and there was no fire this time. Although there WAS a blackout because of the storm. The screen went black during one of the action scenes. I was even MORE distraught this time than I was last time. I didn't find it humorous like I did last time. I didn't stay optimistic like I did last time. I stormed out of that theater room like my feet were on fire. I stayed out there until the people came in and rewinded the movie slightly. No more complications after that, luckily

Onto the review!!

3D: Brilliant. It was actually a mistake that we went to go see it in 3D. My dear sister Layla messed up and got us 3D, but it's ok, because 3D was really great. The scenery popped out more, the people were shown with more quality, and it was just plain better.

I thought the scenery was beautiful. The camera work was well done, and it wasn't shaky. We also weren't forced to hear the usual heavy, fast breathing of Daniel Radcliffe.

There was a bunch of moments that held very subtle humor, which I thought was great. It was good that they added some funnies to take away from the generally dark and slightly morose film. The acting was--what's the word I'm looking for?--spectacular, magnificent, splendid....you get it...
I was rather impressed with Daniel Radcliff's (Harry) performance, for I usually find him a rather bland actor. I think he really showed his talent in this film, which is a very good thing. Emma Watson (Hermione) was also memorable, as she always is. Rupert Grint (Ron) didn't really have that many lines or impressive parts to really judge on, but from what I saw he did a pretty good job. But let's not forget the supporting cast who did a stupendous job with making the movie complete! Maggie Smith, who played the strict Professor Minerva McGonagall, made me giddy with satisfaction. She really, really, really delivered her role, in my opinion. She was strict, yet as protective of her students as a mother would be.

Matthew Lewis. My, my, my, hasn't he grown up! Who else remembers the chubby, forgetful little first year boy who lost his Remembrall, and was always bullied by Malfoy and his goons? I sure do! His character, Neville Longbottom, turned out to be, in a word, a hero. A brave, selfless, hero. I couldn't help but cheer when he finally beheaded Nagini. When all the Death Eaters were charging towards the castle, and two were incinerated because of the protections, I was having a hard time keeping my laughter to myself when Neville did that whole "Yeah! What now, losers?!" thing. Then, when they charged, and he started running, I laughed even harder. Ah, Neville. I do love you. Matthew really delivered when stepped up and stood up to Voldemort when Harry was presumably dead. Although I have to admit, I was disappointed when he didn't scream to Voldemort: "I'll join you when Hell freezes over!" But ah well, I think he makes up for it.

Ralph Fiennes, who plays the dastardly, and heartless Lord Voldemort, also did a good job. I guess. I think Voldemort could have been a little scarier. I just didn't think he was that scary to me. (And did anyone else think Voldemort looked a little fat? He looked pretty fat to me...)

And how could we forget Voldie's right-hand-woman...Bellatrix Lestrange! Played by Helena Bonham Carter, Bellatrix is almost as evil as Voldemort. Almost. The chick is a madwoman. Completely insane. And I love it! Helena was quite humorous in the Gringotts scene. She really did well. "I wish to enter my vault." Ahaha! Really loved that scene. I would be lying if I said her eventual death didn't upset me...

There was also many other memorable performances. Tom Felton, who plays the cunning Slytherin and Harry's rival, Draco Malfoy--He's MINE people!--did a good job as Draco. You could clearly see his inner struggle when his parents were urging him to come forward and join them. Evanna Lynch played the slightly odd Luna "Loony" Lovegood, and I won't ever change my mind when I say she is the PERFECT Luna! I was immensely entertained when Luna chewed out Harry for not listening to her. "Harry Potter you listen to me right now!" *Giggle* It was also fun to see Julie Walters, the over protective Weasley matriarch, take down Bellatrix Lestrange, a part in the movie I was dying to see! I was so, so, so, so happy when they kept in the: "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU *****!" There was also David Thewlis, who played our beloved Remus Lupin, Helen McCroy who played Draco's mother and Bellatrix's sister, Narcissa Malfoy, and Michael Gambon (is that how you spell it??), as our favorite Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. It was also a joy to see Gary Oldman come back as our favorite Marauder, Sirius Black! (Even if it was only for a few moments.) Can't say they were all flawless, though...Bonnie Wright, who plays Harry's love interest, Ginny Weasley, was as unimpressive as usual. Blahh.

I saved the best for last.

Alan Rickman.

For the love of all that is sane in this world--someone give this man a flippin' Oscar!!!!! Holy guacamole with cheese!!! He was brilliant. BRILLIANT!

I can't even tell you how much I cried during "The Prince's Tale", because it's almost embarrassing how much I cried. Oh my gosh. His face! It was heartbreaking! His pain and anguish for Lily was so raw that I was sniffling the whole way through.

All in all, a truly amazing cast.

The action kicked off right away. We were taken on a roller coaster ride at Gringotts, an escaped dragon, and then the real action started. The special effects was really, really well done, and I almost forgot it wasn't real.

I was amused throughout the movie; especially when Harry finally comes back to Hogwarts, and comes face to face with Ginny. They're just staring at each other, and you can see Ron, her brother, in the background, trying to wave and say hi to his sister who he hadn't seen in nearly a year. She completely ignored him. I cracked up. The Harry/Ginny kiss wasn't impressive. Meh. Do you know what was impressive? The Hermione/Ron kiss! Oooohhh my gosh! I loved it! Well, actually....you couldn't really see the kiss, because Ron's head was kind of covering it...that was slightly disappointing. Another funny part was when Ron ran after Malfoy and his goons after they attacked Hermione screaming: "Hey! That's my girlfriend you--!"

It was heart-wrenching to watch the Weasleys mourning over their fallen family member. But I am really, really mad Fred, Tonks, and Remus didn't get a death scene! ARGH!!!! They totally deserved one, too. Really upset about that...

But anyways, I was on the edge of my seat as I anxiously watched Neville as he beheaded Nagini. Another part that amused me was when Voldemort was on the ground and Bellatrix was there, trying to help him up. He kept telling her "no", and she kept trying to help him, when he finally pushed her to the ground!! Ahaha! I laughed so hard!

There was one part when I was really indignant, though. When Pansy Parkinson ratted Harry out, and McGonagall told Filch to take her and all the other Slytherins to the Dungeons. What annoyed me was when everyone else started clapping and cheering when the took the Slytherins away...mean, much?! Oh well--it was kind of funny...kind of...

Also, what was with Voldemort giving Draco a hug?! Haha, I bet Bellatrix was pretty jealous. And I just have to say, I love Narcissa Malfoy. She gave everything for her son. She lied to Lord Voldemort's face! That is a mother.

Something that really really bugged me was towards the end. Harry just defeated Voldemort. It was epic. A good, satisfying-to me, at least-battle. True, no one was there to witness it like in the books, but that could be overlooked. But then he walks into the Great Hall, and everyone just looks at him. I mean, they just stare as he walks through. What was that?! He just defeated the greatest Dark Lord the world has ever known! The war was over! And he doesn't even get a single pat on the back. Not even a "Good job, Harry." Zip, nada, nothing.

Another thing was the duel between Bellatrix Lestrange and Molly Weasley. Bellatrix is arguably one of the most hated characters in the series. They could have at least made her dead a little more....dramatic. A little more focused on. That would have been nice.

The scene where Harry meets his loved ones again was really beautiful. I cried. Snape's memories was...it was...so....words can't even describe! I cried a lot! I couldn't help it. When Snape cried, so did I. It was done enchantingly. Stunningly. Breathtakingly. The emotions inside me almost consumed me! I adore how they flashed back from earlier movies. Really, really well done. Just.....yeah.

Something I noticed was how there weren't that many "NYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHSSSSS" from Voldemort like in the trailers. Also, was it just me, or did they take out the scene where Voldemort was like: "Why do you live?" And Harry's like: "Because I have something worth living for..."

And then we get to the epilogue. However short, I don't think it could have been done any better. I would have liked to see more of the other children, other than Harry's youngest son, but it was really good. They cast the kids perfectly! Just how I imagined!! I was very happy when Harry gave the whole "Albus Severus Potter" speech. Also, I think the Trio aged nicely. Harry looked believable, even if Hermione looked like some 18 year old...

All in all, it was stupendous. I thought it was the best film in the series by far.

When the credits started rolling, I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't somewhat of a mess. I was crying all the way to the car. I looked as if someone just told me my dog died. Seriously. I just couldn't believe it's over.

It didn't disappoint, though.

So..if you read to the end of this very long, and somewhat pointless review, congratulations!! Hope you enjoyed. This is what I thought of the movie which has been on my mind since 6th grade.
