WARNING: This MAY contain spoilers IF you haven't seen this last final installment.

I would like to say that people have to see this movie through the director's point of view because of the details they had lacked from the past 6 (not including Deathly Hallows part 1) films. This movie was absolutely epic, magical, and the greatest film out of the 8 films out now. I was concerned about two scenes: the Prince's Tale and resurrection stone with Harry. This final installment went out with a bang and ended this journey for the current trios a great feeling for us audience to see.

I have to say, I felt a little rushed with the beginning and I can see that the director really wanted to get through with Voldemort vs. Harry's battle at Hogwarts. Overall with this film, it was beautifully put together and Ms. Rowling was right about this film: It met most of our expectations.

This film will make you laugh, cry, sigh, and smile because I did all that. Many great spotlights for characters such as Ron and Hermione, Professor McGonagall, Neville, Luna, Mrs. Weasley, AND Draco. This is a very dark film and a lot of deaths but to me, I felt that they were lightly brushed away and I wished the directors shown how some of the characters died during the battle.

The ONLY scene in this film that made me cry, like ball like a baby, was when Snape got killed by Nagini and gave Harry his memory to look into (which then goes into the Prince's Tale). I have to say, I really wish (as well) the director got more into the friendship that Lily and Snape developed growing up and going to Hogwarts. Alan Rickman deserves an Oscar nomination (or just win one) for this performance as Snape. He put the right emotions that the audience (or readers) have been waiting to see out of Snape. The love he has for Lily was perfectly shown during the Prince's Tale and an awe moment for Alan Rickman. Let me note, where I watched this, no one during the Prince's Tale gasped or whined or anything. Instead, you heard sniffling knowing that probably the whole theater was crying watching this scene. Alan Rickman needs that Oscar.

The resurrection stone scene with Harry was very sad too but I felt a little rushed again with this scene. I had imagined reading the book that his dead loved ones would walk with Harry until he reached Voldemort's spot. However, I did choke up watching this and it was perfect the way I had imagined this scene. This was a beautiful and sad scene for Harry, as well as for us viewers and the audience.

The battle was AMAZING and it really grabbed your heart away to see our beloved school in ruins! Spells flying from left to right, giants and spiders, and the students and teachers trying to defend for the Wizardry world! I actually loved the battles they had.

-AHEM- I would like to applaud Julie Walters for Mrs. Weasley oh so famous line. Yes, yes, YES! Amazing. I wish there was a rewind button during the movies so I can see that over and over and over again!

The most awkward scene probably (and the most funniest to me) was when Voldemort hugged Draco. Anyone who had read the books laughed and there's going to be a lot of jokes about that.

Lastly, the epilogue was beautifully put together too. I choked up when "Leaving Hogwarts" by John Williams started to play. We as the audience and readers are leaving Hogwarts as well as Harry growing up to see his two sons go off to Hogwarts.

I hope this final installment becomes the most grossing movie of all time and actually win some Oscars. I am fully aware that they do win big awards but for once, these amazing cast need to have an Oscar for themselves. I hope every single one of you muggles (or Harry Potter lovers) will love and enjoy this movie like I did.
