A good set up for the finale, with some great cinematography and emotional beats. I actually quite like the second act for one, it has this brooding, moody tone and you have some of the best acting from Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson in there. There are quite a lot of action beats in it (not that many actual sequences though), which are mostly good, but I wasn’t a fan of how the chase near the end was edited together. The logic can also be a little thin in places (What’s this mirror Harry suddenly has? Why were they only traced once, during that coffee shop visit? Why doesn’t Bellatrix recognize Ron and Hermoine after Order of the Phoenix? What are these distraction trumpets that Harry uses in the ministry sequence, and how did he get them?), which are mostly things that were omitted from the book and probably should’ve been in here somewhere to make the script a little tighter. The animation style they used for the deathly hallows story was very creative, but I always found the hallows themselves to be a needless addition, overstuffing the plot with macguffins. The focus is on the horcruxes for 90% of this and part 2 regardless.
