harry potter deathly hallows part 2 plot

Not terribly long ago, I predicted the following would be my response to the film: 'I'm going to give it 7/10, be grateful it's so much better than the wobbly-paced Deathly Hallows: Part 1, hate on the incompetence of how the epilogue, already the worst part of the book, was executed, and rank it fourth of the eight movies (barely ahead of Prisoner of Azkaban, which looks better but can't compete with the action setpieces in the new one).' That was pretty close, but the film clocked in a little south of my expectations.

The plot, if you are interested in knowing the plot, is a little something like this: having learned what he needs to do to kill the evil dark wizard Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) in the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and begun doing it in Deathly Hallows 1, 17-year-old Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) proceeds to go through the longest day of his life, beginning when he and his closest friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) sneak into a massively high-security goblin bank to steal a MacGuffin, proceeding through their return to their beloved magic school at Hogwarts, into a crazy-huge battle that involves every single character who hasn't died yet and some who have, except for Imelda Staunton's Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, because I am to be denied even this small pleasure. What you think right now will be your reaction to the movie is virtually certain to be your actual reaction, which among other things means I feel even more useless than usual writing this review. And it's pretty gosh-darn likely that, if you are planning on seeing Deathly Hallows 2 in its theatrical run, you've done at least one of those things not too many people, I ween, sit around of a Saturday night, thinking, 'I've avoided the entire multi-media franchise for 14 years now, but dammit, I suppose it's better than paying money to see Bad Teacher a third time'. So, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has opened now, and concluded an eight-film, ten-year, decade-defining franchise, and it does so in exactly the way you would expect it to do if you read the book, saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and/or any of the six books and films preceding them.
