Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts I & II

Finally, the end. Something I had dreaded when the books came out and dreaded once again when the movies came. And all because I’m a Harry Potter fan – big time! The last two parts of the Harry Potter movie saga and the last book were the most bleak and dark and weighed heavily through the screening and the read. Perhaps that’s the reason the after death experience with Harry seemed so out of place – it was so white! But director David Yates has handled the imaginary world so beautifully that it was easy to have my imagination fusing with that of the director’s. Sadly, one has to take the restrictions of a movie into account and that is where movies have always fallen short of the books.
Now the question is, do we live on without another session at Hogwarts or is JK Rowling already yielding the quill and filling up reams with another magical journey? I so hope it’s the latter!
