Viewing Notes
I think my expectations were just too high, as I wanted this final movie to be an epic send-off of the entire series. It just fell short for me in a number of ways.
The battle for Hogwarts just felt unfocused, with some fairly serious events not even getting screen time.
Ironically, I liked Deathly Hallows Part 1, because it really took the time to drive home the isolation and the struggle to do the right thing, impressing upon the audience that there is a price to pay and a long road in front of anyone who does so.
Part 2 felt it could have easily been an hour longer without any problems at all. Can I hope for an extended cut on Blu some day?
