The feeling that a lot is being crammed into this final act brings us back to our ongoing comparison with The Lord of the Rings. Under these circumstances, splitting the book into two films is almost the most logical thing to do, and while not all of it works, it does have a lot of attractive qualities. Having drawn things out for so long, putting off this inevitable showdown, there is almost a rush to get in everything that is left to be said. In the case of HP7a (as Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo christened it), we find the franchise finally starting to cut to the chase, beginning the build-up towards the final confrontation between Harry and Voldemort. For fans and casual viewers alike, the move smacked of wanting to milk as much as possible out of the last drops of a given franchise.

The financial success of splitting the last and biggest of the books into two instalments led to the same tactic being employed with Twilight and The Hunger Games, regardless of whether their respective source materials actually merited such an approach. It's very easy to hold a grudge against Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows purely on the grounds of the industrial precedent it created. I know it isn't beloved by the fandom like the others, but I believe Deathly Hallows is a necessary deviation from the typical trip to the Potterverse so that part 2 is as epic as we know it is. Plenty of other noteworthy sequences include a brilliantly thoughtful Tale of the 3 Brothers story told by Hermione, Dobby's return, Umbridge's unsettling return, and even the opening escape sequence. But again, Harry and Ron needed that conflict to make the payoff of Ron coming back to save Harry and destroying a Horcrux all the more satisfying. Of course, Ron didn't seem to think so, as he got jealous in the most clichГ©d way possible. Even though there's nothing romantic at all, it became one of the series' most endearing bonds. The relationship particularly between Harry and Hermione has never been a focus, in fact rarely touched upon, until this film. No matter, the film has its fair share of thrilling sequences of action along with some needed heartfelt moments between the trio. On the run, looking for something significant, and constantly fighting off the looming presence of a bigger evil. In fact, there are a lot of the same characteristics as a revenge or fantasy-western. This may be a stretch, but this film feels a lot like a Western set in the Potterverse.

It makes the payoff in the 8th movie all the more gratifying. I love watching the trio have to go on the road and figure out all of the horcruxes without the help of their parents or Dumbledore. So in many ways, this is a film about unity and independence at the same time. But I like the fact that this film wasn't just them cutting ties with their family and loved ones to find horcruxes, it was about them becoming adults capable of doing things on their own.

That was a welcomed shift for me.ДЄfter the last 3 films, it seemed like the series had already grown up enough. There are certainly still some minute problems that can be annoying, like Voldemort's minimal presence, but this was the first movie that solely focused on the trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Now that I have gone back and re-watched each film, I have grown more of an appreciation for the series as a whole, and particularly, Deathly Hallows Part 1. Of course, this was before having seen part 2. To me, it was missing its own identity and conclusion to feel like its own film. Upon first viewing, I wasn't a huge fan of the first Deathly Hallows. But then there is the Harry Potter series, which managed to make a well-strung first part, which ranks among the franchise's best, to set up one of the greatest conclusions in film history. There have been quite a few times, especially recently, when dividing the last story of a franchise into two parts was a huge mistake.
