Some of the scenes portrayed in the movie are somewhat silly too. Some of them were somewhat more serious blunders, such as Voldemort letting the snake wander off when he knows that they particularly wanted to kill it.

There are some irritating ones like the fly-by of Harry and Voldemort around the castle and some okay ones like Harry talking to Ron and Hermione before going into the forbidden forest. If we forgive this flaw, the changes from the book are mostly acceptable and in a few cases, for the better. It wouldn’t have been such a surprise to him. If he had, he would have known much earlier that Dumbledore (and Harry) was hunting horcruxes. He certainly didn’t feel it when Ron destroyed the locket in the first movie nor when Dumbledore destroyed the ring. This would have been fine (just a change from the book) but we know from the first part that Voldemort cannot feel a horcrux being destroyed.

However, in the movie, he seems to immediately come to know that all the other horcruxes are already destroyed (except the one at Hogwarts). Right after the Gringott’s scene, however, there is a major flaw in the plot.Īccording to the story in the book, Voldemort comes to know of the Gringott’s break-in and then begins to check on his other horcruxes. The plot for this part is highly simplified version of the one in the book but there are no major changes. It shows the trio planning to break into the Lestrange’s vault. The movie starts where Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 left off with Voldemort retrieving the elder wand from Dumbledore’s tomb. In fact, the review also discusses changes from the book. Warning: This review contains a fair amount of spoilers both from the story from book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the final part of its movie adaptation. New-comers to the Potter world will still enjoy the action fest anyway. Given that the movie is part 2 of the seventh book in Harry Potter series, it is really not needed. In fact, I wish they would have stuck to the plot rather than changing certain key aspects to provide a recap. The movie mentions horcruxes, hallows, etc… and what they are for first time viewers, but I don’t think that helps much. It sets the tone right in the beginning for a tough ride for the trio. The dark tone of the movie more than does justice to the story. We’ll talk about them later (after the spoiler warning). There are some which seem just stupid or silly. Like mentioned in many places, the action sequences in the movie give an epic feeling, which is particularly absent in the book. The action is well done and the spells and curses make for great visuals. Voldemort still does not feel like the ultimate dark lord but just an average over-excited death eater. Dumbledore has a very limited screen time in this movie and that scene is okay as it is just conversation anyway. Dumbledore and Voldemort are still unconvincing. The performance of the cast was in line of the previous movie.
