"Silence! Stupid girl. Harry Potter is dead. From this day forth, you put your faith in me." - Lord Voldemort

Why watch this? The pinnacle film, about the legendary Harry Potter, does satisfy!

Plot Summary: Our Hogwarts heroes and heroines continue their dangerous quest to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, the magical items that grant Voldemort immortality. As they close in on their mission, a major battle erupts at Hogwarts, forcing them to return and defend the school from Voldemort's evil forces. Ultimately, Harry must face his destiny and confront Voldemort in a final, climactic showdown to determine the fate of the wizarding world.

Dad's Preview: All that led up to the final film had me a little worried. There were so many story lines, so many sub-plots to wrap up. How could they pull it off? I think it was wise to use Part 1 as the calm before the storm, and have part 2 feature the final, epic wizard battle. But they also made sure to give the audience what it deserved: Nevel's heroic emergence, Molly Weasley's battle with Bellatrix, and the one I waited for most of all: Ron and Hermione's first kiss.
