Ah yes Harry Potter. With the release of this movie comes a closing in my childhood. I now have to face facts that their will never be a new Harry Potter anything for as long as I am alive. (unless you count Pottermore, but who honestly cares about that?) But nostalgia aside, is Harry Potter 7: The Deathly Hallows part 2 HD 3D Alpha Turbo Remix vs Capcom any good? Lets dive in!
Harry Potter; and the Deathly Hallows part 2
Since this is an adaptation of book, we should discuss how well it accomplishes putting the written page on the silver screen. Unlike other book adaptations, (COUGHERAGONTHATWASBULLSHITCOUGH) HP 7 part 2 does an outstanding job of using its source material well. When I first heard that Warner Brothers was splitting the last book into 2 movies, I kinda scratched my head. “Why would they do this?” I thought. Then after re-reading the entire series for the third time, (yes I’m sad and lonely) I noticed how much of the 7th book was not full of side quests and filler like the other books are. In fact, every chapter of that book had plot relavent things going on , and so, it would be impossible the cut scenes out like they did in the other 6 films. So they had the choice of making one long film that would likely be about 4 hours and drag like hell, or split the book into 2 films. Hey, I’d rather watch a 5 hour Harry Potter movie than Transformers 3 anytime.

Harry Potter brings back bigshots Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Ema Wattson (Herminoe), and Rubert Grint (Ron). They all do a fairly good job of keeping with the characters that they spent 6 other films perfecting. Radcliffe especially does a decent job as the main lead, but some scenes have him spacing out when he should be angry or upset, which is ashame, because wev’e seen that he can play mad and do it well. Other than that, the acting is top notch, emotions are portrayed well, and dramatic scenes have some real weight to them. Overall, it's a movie you can get easily sucked into, especially if you have read the books.

| Daniel Radcliffe and crew put on a good show |
If you have seen the trailer for this film, chances are you know its more combat oriented compared to the first HP7 movie. A good 2/3 of the movie is a ginat battle scene that will surely remind you of Braveheart and LOTR Return of the King, but it has to said, all the battle scenes in this film look great, even the CGI parts. That’s a high compliment coming from me, seeing as how I usually detest CG. Despite being a childrens movie, HP7 part 2 is strangley violent. I know a battle is going on, but we see people getting engulfed in flames, blown up, dicinigrated, and falling off a collapsing bridge to their deaths! JEEZE! Way to strech out that PG13 rating guys.

Overall, I liked all the Harry Potter films, and this movie was the perfect way to close them out. The well done epilogue especially brought a tear to my eye. When Harry talks to his son, I almost felt like it was my adulthood coming to grips with the end of my childhood. From day one, the cast and crew of these films have been extraordinary, I’m both sad and incredibly happy that its finally come to a end. Dramatic, full of suspense, good cinematography, music, acting, and cool battle scenes, I highly recommend you check this movie out before it apparates out of theatres.
I give Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a well deserved:
3.5/5 A solid film to close of the series.
