Movie Review for Parents

-by Ginger

In this final, epic battle, Harry, Ron, and Hermione go back to Hogwart’s to destroy Voldemort's final horcruxes. When Voldemort finds out about their plan the biggest battle of their life begins. One of them is labeled CUP and belongs to Hogwart founder, Helga Huffenpuff. The other two are mysteries. They must solve the mystery. At the time of writing this family movie review, this movie was not yet rated. However, if you are familiar with the other Harry Potter movies, other than a different story line, this movie is not much different from previous movies and is expected to receive the same rating as previous ones.

In the end, they must go to the Deathly Hallows. This version answers many questions that were left hanging in the first Deathly Hollows Harry Potter movie. We find out that Voldemort has gained possession of the powerful Elder Wand, which makes him even more difficult to beat. Harry has to do a lot of deep soul searching in this movie and he finds that the events of 16 years ago had more of an impact on him than he thought. This is the ultimate, final battle at Hogwarts and Harry must defeat the dark lord once and for all. The fate of both wizarding and the muggle worlds are in his hands. If he is defeated, then both of these worlds will never be the same again.

This movie has magic, violence, and scary images of wizards and dark forces. Voldemort is very scary in this movie and it might be too scary for small children. However, this family movie review feels that it is appropriate for preteens and teenagers, particularly if they have already seen the other Harry potter movies. This epic, final battle is similar to the other movies since the very first one. This one is a little more violent and the battles are a little bigger, but other than that this family movie review considers it to be similar. It has a lot more explosions, fire breathing dragons, and wizard wars. It revisits the first several movies and attempts to put an end to this series and I would not expect any more movies after this one because it tied up the missing pieces from the other movies.
