WARNING: the Deathly Hallows Part 1 spoiler alert!

Today at USAO I learned the outcome of the much anticipated final Harry Potter film, one I have been waiting for for nearly a decade. And finally, here we have it: the final showdown. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 showed for the first time in the United States last night, where fans flocked to make it to the midnight premieres. The Harkins theatre was filled with excited people, some of them dressed up in full costume attire, while others wore themed shirts to display their support. The anticipation was clear as all of us sat in our seats, munching on our concession. Cheers erupted as we were instructed to put on our 3d glasses. Even more cheers came when it announced the showing of the feature presentation. And then, the show began.

The film started off on a realistic, somewhat sad note, referring back to the death of Dobby at the end of the previous film. Then as it went on, it turned into an exciting, action filled ride with emotional and fast paced scenes that keep the viewers completely focused and intent upon the film. Director David Yates does spectacular once again in this new addition, paying close attention to details such as including Hedwig's theme and little details within the book that, to be quite honest, I was surprised they stuck so true to. Scenes were altered and some things added, but overall, they included every important factor and more from J.K. Rowling's masterpiece. I would say some of the most impressive things about it was the breathtaking performance of Alan Rickman (who plays Professor Snape) and the entire end of the film, a battle that blows the viewers away through both high-action and highly emotional scenes that keeps us sitting at the edge of our seats.

For Harry Potter fans, this is a definite must-see. This is it: the moment we've all been waiting for, and sure enough, they ended it with a bang.
