"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2" is a fantasy adventure film directed by David Yates and based on the novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" by J. K. Rowling. This is the eighth and final instalment in the "Harry Potter" film series which continues to follow Harry Potter's quest to find and destroy Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes in order to stop him once and for all.

  • Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
  • Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley
  • Emma Watson as Hermione Granger
  • Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange
  • Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid

As I said earlier, the features of "Harry Potter" film series are good acting, captivating music, exciting characters, wonderful special effects, the contrast of bright and dark colours and unexpected deaths.

The cast of all "Harry Potter" series is totally amazing: it's unimportant who you see on the screen, you can't see any falsity in acting. As for me, I want to mention playing of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and David Thewlis.

Death is the only irreversible phenomenon in Harry Potter's world and in principle in the real one too. What can be more powerful than it? Everything else might be corrected if it's necessary or changed: relationships may be improved, skills may be acquired but death... There's nothing to do with death. It's sad, or not, it's absolutely terrible that a person who love you might exist no longer tomorrow... But what to do with this fact? Just resign oneself? Resist? Well, it's natural so it has to be admitted anyway.

Quotations
* * *
Professor Albus Dumbledore: After all this time?
Professor Severus Snape: Always.
* * *
Harry Potter: We have to go there, now.
Hermione Granger: What? We can't do that! We've got to plan! We've got to figure it out...
Harry Potter: Hermione! When have any of our plans ever actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose!
* * *
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.
* * *
Gregory Goyle: [aiming at Hermione] Avada Kedavra!
Ron Weasley: [chasing them off] Aaarrrgh! That's my girlfriend you numpty!
* * *
Lord Voldemort: Harry Potter, the boy who lived... come to die. Avada Kedavra!
* * *
Argus Filch: Students out of bed! Students out of bed! Students out of bed!
Minerva McGonagall: They are supposed to be out of bed you blithering idiot.
Argus Filch: ...Right, I'm sorry Ma'am.
Minerva McGonagall: Actually, Mr. Filch, your timing is impeccable. Could you please escort Miss Parkinson, and the rest of Slytherin house out.
* * *
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love.
* * *
Lily Potter: Harry, you are so loved. Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Harry, be safe. Be strong.
* * *
Harry Potter: Does it hurt to die?
Sirius Black: Quicker then falling asleep.
* * *
Harry Potter: Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
* * *
Professor Severus Snape: Look at me... you have your mother's eyes.
* * *
Minerva McGonagall: I've always wanted to use that spell.
* * *
Neville Longbottom: I'd like to say something...
Lord Voldemort: ...I think we'd all be fascinated to hear what you have to say.
* * *
Draco Malfoy: [Wand pointed at Harry] Well, well what brings you here Potter?
Harry Potter: Could ask you the same.
Draco Malfoy: You have something of mine, I'd like it back.
Harry Potter: [Nudging to his wand] What's wrong with the one you have?
Draco Malfoy: It's my mother's, it's powerful but it's... not the same. It doesn't quite... understand me, know what I mean?
Harry Potter: Why didn't you tell her, Bellatrix, you knew it was me? You didn't say anything.
Gregory Goyle: C'mon Draco, don't be a prat, do it.
* * *
Harry Potter: I have to go back, haven't I?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Oh, that's up to you.
Harry Potter: I have a choice?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: Oh, yes. We're in King's Cross, you say? I think, if you so desired, you'd be able to board a train.
Harry Potter: And where would it take me?
Professor Albus Dumbledore: On.
* * *
Harry Potter: Come on Tom, let's finish this the way we started, together.
* * *
Harry Potter: And Remus, your son...
Remus Lupin: Others will tell him what his mother and father died for. One day, he'll understand.
* * *
Harry Potter: Dumbledore trusted me to see this through.
Aberforth Dumbledore: What makes you think you can trust him? What makes you think you can believe anything my brother told you? In all the time you knew him, did he ever mention my name? Did he ever mention hers?
Harry Potter: Why should he...
Aberforth Dumbledore: ...Keep secrets, you tell me?
Harry Potter: I trusted him.
Aberforth Dumbledore: That's a boy's answer. A boy who goes chasing horcruxes on the word of a man who wouldn't even tell you where to start. You're lying!
* * *
Professor Severus Snape: For myself and a few select members of staff, this news comes as little surprise. We have for some time now considered Mr. Potter's return to Hogwarts as not merely possible, not inevitable.
* * *
Professor Severus Snape: It's come to my attention that earlier this evening Harry Potter was spotted in Hogsmeade. Should anyone attempt to aide Mr. Potter, they will be punished.
* * *
Minerva McGonagall: Potter, I assume you're here for a reason. What do you need?
Harry Potter: Time. As much as you can get me, Professor.
Minerva McGonagall: Do what you have to. I'll secure the castle.
* * *
Lord Voldemort: Join me in the forest tonight and confront your fate.
* * *
Professor Severus Snape: You have preformed extraordinary magic with this wand, my Lord, in the last hours alone.
Lord Voldemort: No, I am extraordinary, but the wand... it resists me.
Professor Severus Snape: There is no wand more powerful, Olivander himself has said. Tonight when the boy comes, it will not fail you I assure you.
* * *
Harry Potter: He knows if we find them, and destroy all the horcruxes we'll be able to kill him. I reckon he'll stop at nothing to make sure we don't find the rest. There's more, one of them is at Hogwarts.
* * *
Neville Longbottom: You were right, never better. I feel like I can spit fire.
* * *
Helena Ravenclaw: I know what he's done! I know who he is! He defiled it! With dark magic!
* * *
Harry Potter: There's something hidden here in the castle, and it may help us defeat you-know-who.
* * *
Lord Voldemort: Behold, Nagini, our work is done.
* * *
Minerva McGonagall: And Potter... it's good to see you.
Harry Potter: It's good to see you too, Professor.
* * *
Young Petunia Dursley: Freak! I'm telling Mummy! You're a freak! You're a freak, Lily!
* * *
Lord Voldemort: They never learn. Such a pity.
* * *
Lord Voldemort: From this day forth, you put your faith... in me.
