Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2

It all ends says the poster's tag line and so it does. With much wand waving and spell casting, and an occasional heart string tugged at. It's spectacular to watch and while the tone is darker in the latter films, they still come over essentially as a merry romp. As 8 films spanning a decade with consistantly high production values they are a significant part of recent film history but I'm surprised by the casts dismay at the lack of non-technical awards nods because for all the box office receipts, there is nothing individually stand out. This is a good thing in a series that heavily relies on ensemble casts sub almost every working British actor found here somewhere but there is no insult in saying the whole works, but not because of one performance.
