Seriously, I never would have thought Neville would be the one to kill Voldemort's snake, Nagini, but that's why it was so brilliant. Rowling has a knack for giving everyone a chance to shine, and there's no difference in Part 2. Ciaran Hinds' Abeforth Dumbledore for one, Helena Ravenclaw, a nearly-blind Dragon from Gringott's, and oh yeah those kids at the end. Sure, you can't really have the full experience without at least watching Part 1, but there's no part of me that thinks this story could have been pulled off in one film.Įven with all of the cameos and reappearances of beloved characters, there's plenty of new ones as well. Both, The Hunger Games and Hobbit series' have had a rough time closing out their series' with a film that feels whole in itself. I think what's most impressive about this particular installment is that it manages to pull off the 'all pay-off' type of story that most part 2's have struggled with.

We begin part 2 still in search of the Horcruxes as well as finding Voldemort's army at its strongest. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 checked off just about everything I could have asked for. Rowling joked in an interview, that Rickman would often gloat that he knew more than the other actors and actresses.To me, the perfect conclusion to a franchise ties up everything that was promised while leaving the audience with an emotionally satisfying ending that leaves the door open for something later. Rowling said that she shared this information with Rickman because 'he needed to understand, I think, and does completely understand, and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who's living proof of Lily's preference for another man (a man who had tormented and ridiculed him), came from.' According to Rickman, the directors prior to the publication of the last book were not privy to the information of Snape's true character either, and he had to ask them to defer to him on the portrayal of Snape, whether or not they understood why. Most significantly, Rickman was one of the very few people other than Rowling to know (years ahead of the last book's publication) that Snape had been in love with Lily Evans (later Potter) when they were students at Hogwarts, and both Snape's protection of, and antagonism toward Harry, came from that. Rowling told him some character secrets about Snape that would not be otherwise revealed until the last book. Not long after Alan Rickman started to play Severus Snape, J.K.
