![]() ![]() Fantasy or otherwise, few will compare to what this disc does with darkness.Īnd that’s about it for this affair. ![]() The later franchise films have all come with their own brilliant depth and intensity, Hallows 2 a trend-setter for a series that has unfortunately now seen its end. They can’t really, so lush, rich, and perfect, few discs can withstand such an assault of darkness. ![]() Seriously Steve, those people should be thrilled, not caught up in their own conversation.īlack levels don’t come any better than this. Kloves nailed it too, at least until the final moments. The character was in the right hands at Warner, the studio treating him fairly and writer Steve Kloves translating bulky novels into condensed screenplays. Potter still proves magical, a triumph of fantasy storytelling and Hollywood cohesiveness, an impressive feat on any level. It’s as if they didn’t see battle, or already read the book. As series draws its final breath, Harry walks through the decimated halls of Hogwarts, all of those characters simply going about their business. Expertly crafted as it may be, (an especially spectacular, nearly silent stairway brawl unforgettable), it’s missing the spark. What’s odd then is what we’re left with, the film diverging from the books and turning the Potter/Voldemort battle into a distinctly personal engagement. That says a lot, the ups and downs of this fantasy franchise playing with emotions and grim scenarios for a number of films now. Harry Potter has lost nothing over the years, this despite a conclusion that is more aggressive, brutal, and darker than anything prior. Magic is freely flung about, giants smash battling wizards, and key characters have their pay-off. The attention given to the actual product has proved extraordinary, giving those moments of Hogwarts undergoing total devastation a better emotional toll. Behind-the-scene bickering, contract disputes, script disagreements none of it played a role. Not only has the film series found a conclusion, everything happened smoothly. Part 2 is as much a celebration of the Potter franchise as it is a rare look at Hollywood success. Ten years of waiting, ten years of battling, and ten years of searching are about to climax. Death Eaters hover over Hogwarts, eerily waiting for a moment to strike.
