Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) by Luis T — 13 Oct 2017

Very epic and a great narrative that steals bits from the bible. Rowling knows how to concoct a complex story that unwraps beautifully. Some things strike me as over the top, children story though. For one, why Voldemort would be so much an personal enemy of Potter and totally evil at the same time? That seems so mad and megalomaniac that few wizards would support him. Then, the fighting is so extensive and murderous, it seems too much, bordering on WWII. It seems that the forces at play are difficult to equalize. With so much power on each side, the outcome cannot possibly even out because it's practically impossible to stop either side from causing major casualties.

Rowling nevertheless is thinking very intelligently. Her stories are always satisfying an complex.

I found the epilogue very charming. Excessively charming, with all our heroes having a mini-me or two sent to the school of wizards. And the significance of the frog? Is it another reference to french, which are all over the place throughout? A french from Québec this time?
