The limbo scene in particular could have used a lot more exposition and dialogue.
Though this short running time unfortunately leaves no room for all of the large and important backstories regarding Professor Dumbledore’s (Michael Gambon) past or Lord Voldemort’s past and his reasons for choosing these specific objects to be Horcruxes, it makes for a breezy and fast-paced film. ‘Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ adapts the final 1/3 of the actual book, which is why the film is the shortest of all the ‘Harry Potter’ films at 130 minutes. It’s impossible for someone to go into the ‘Harry Potter’ films starting with the eighth and final film and expect to like it. But honestly, if you didn’t know any of these facts beforehand, you shouldn’t be watching ‘Deathly Hallows: Part 2’. Without destroying all of the Horcruxes, Voldemort cannot truly be killed. Harry, Ron, and Hermione must locate and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, objects containing pieces of Voldemort’s soul. Right from the start the film picks up from where ‘ Deathly Hallows: Part 1‘ left off, with Voldemort finally getting his hands on the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in the wizarding world and also one of the three Deathly Hallows.
‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ isn’t perfect, but it’s a fitting ending that does a lot right by staying faithful to its source material. It’s taken 10 years and 8 films to come to this, the concluding installment to the epic ‘Harry Potter’ saga, and it’s a thoroughly entertaining and satisfying ending at that.
