The climactic battle between the forces of Voldemort and Harry and his loyal followers is vividly staged, with flourishes that command our attention, even after seven previous movies full of impressive visual effects. I won't pretend that I understood every utterance, as a devoted Rowling reader would, but I got the things that matter most in terms of incident and character. This is perhaps the most densely-plotted and detailed of all the Potter movies, which is really saying something. It's the journey, as well as the destination, that matters here, and there are definitely surprises along the way. The subject is Harry's showdown with the malevolent Lord Voldemort, and I won't reveal more than I ought to, but it shouldn't be a great secret that good triumphs and evil is vanquished. While Part One of 'The Deathly Hallows' played like a place-holder this eagerly-awaited finale, directed by David Yates, offers excitement and resolution, as it should.
