This doesn't hold up as well as I thought it would but there are some awesome moments and payoffs in this. Alan Rickman deserved an Oscar nom for his performance.

I like the work that director David Yates has done with the Harry Potter franchise. He doesn’t have a playful way with visuals or a gift for spectacle, but he understands the character and invests in their relationships and their evolution.

Good film directed for a teenage audience in which not only is magic taught but also how stereotypes affect it while the film itself recreates some British stereotypes. [Review in Spanish]

This final chapter of the beloved franchise is a satisfying end to the series, even if it falls short of the promise teased in its slightly superior predecessor.
