Seriously, you have no idea how much the "Harry Potter" book and film series have influenced my life. You see, when I was just eight years old, I read the very first book chronicling the adventures of "the boy who lived" and from that point on, I was immediately captivated. Never before had there been a series of fantasy novels that appealed to readers my age and were extremely fun to read. So when the first "Harry Potter" movie was released in 2001, my love for all things Hogwarts grew even more. Over the next ten years, I persistently read all seven books and watched their accompanying films, but nothing could prepare me for the heart-wrenching emotion I would experience once I took my seat to watch "The Deathly Hallows - Part 2". Like many others, I just had to see the most anticipated motion picture event of the year for its midnight release in IMAX 3D and boy, oh, boy was it worth every penny! The film immediately resumed where "Part 1" left off, and from then on, there was heart-pounding action around every corner. Much to my satisfaction, the battles were just as intense as they were described in the book, especially the epic final duel between Harry and Voldemort, which had me on the very edge of my seat. In addition, the 3D visuals were phenomenal, the score was simply breathtaking, and the acting was superb as always. But it wasn't until the very end, when I actually saw Harry and his friends as adults taking their children to Platform 9 3/4 for the very first time, that I began to tear up...and I'm a grown man for crying out loud! I swear I didn't see a single dry face when I walked out of that theatre, and for good reason. The world of "Harry Potter" has not only been a great influence in my life, but that of my entire generation and many others as well. "The Deathly Hallows - Part 2" was truly a fitting end to arguably THE greatest movie saga of all time. I will never forget the memories I had watching Daniel, Rupert, and Emma grow from young, spirited child actors to the sophisticated and extremely talented megastars they are today. They couldn't have been more perfectly cast. And now, before I end this bittersweet review, I'd like to sincerely thank, J.K. Rowling, for creating these outstandingly captivating characters and shaping the childhoods of millions of avid fans such as myself. Although this marks the end of Harry Potter's incredible journey, I fullheartedly believe that he'll continue to live on in all of us, the true wizards! I don't know about you guys, but I just can't wait till the day when I can introduce my kids to "the boy who lived" so they can experience the magic for themselves! HARRY POTTER WILL ALWAYS RULE!
