What a monumental waste of time. This was a huge disappointing finish to the entire Harry Flopper series. I've enjoyed each one (have never read any of the books) because of the smart dialogue, all the magic touches, the atmosphere of the settings, the plot, the fast pace and all the various eccentric characters. Though none of the movies have come close to duplicating the total mystery and illusion and fantasy of the first one.
Part 1 of the Deathly Hollows was what i have come to expect from this series - not a 10 but a solid otherworldly 8. but Part 2 needed some wizard help badly. It was too long and too damn dark - i could barely see anything on the screen - and so boring. All these interminable conversations. All the dialogue fell flat; no sparkle at all. And absolutely no magical elements! It was like everyone had become rich enough and they were tired of the whole Fizzle-dorf world.
there were also long wand-off scenes; minutes upon minutes of waving sticks at each other with fire or lightning emanating from them. It was the same thing as watching a gun battle in a Nicolas Cage movie; i felt like screaming as it seemed to go on forever.
At the end of the movie, there was an 'epilogue' - the screen said this was 19 years later. I couldn't take it as it felt like i had already been sitting for 19 years.
Oh thou blasphemous Muggle!! If there was a part 3, you would surely change your tune. I have spent many an hour, just me and my wand. Perhaps you would understand if thou were not a wandless one.
