Editor’s note: This review may contain spoilers, particularly for those who haven’t read the books. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was an in-between moment of a movie, a picture that left many fans of this most unusual movie franchise — not to mention the books they’re based on — feeling adrift and forlorn. By necessity, it was only a story half-told: Adapting the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling’s series required splitting the story into two parts. Now, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 , director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves guide the story to a graceful and satisfying end. The movie’s final moments are the equivalent of the half-jubilant, half-mournful thrill you get when you close the cover of a book you’ve savored.
