Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is a featured article, which means it has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Warner Bros. Entertainment Wiki community. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, please feel free to contribute.



Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is a 2011 fantasy film directed by David Yates from a screenplay by Steve Kloves.[1] It is the second of two cinematic parts based on the 2007 novel by J. K. Rowling, and the eighth instalment of the Harry Potter film series.[2] The story concludes Harry Potter's final quest to find and destroy Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes in order to destroy him once and for all.

The film stars an ensemble cast comprising Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, and Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry's best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, alongside Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, and Julie Walters. Principal photography began on 19 February 2009, and was completed on 12 June 2010,[3] with reshoots taking place in December 2010.

Part 2 was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United Kingdom and the United States on 15 July 2011, and is the only Harry Potter film to be released in 3D.[4] It was a commercial success and one of the best-reviewed films of 2011, with critics deeming it a satisfying conclusion to the saga while praising its visual effects, cinematography, musical score, action sequences, direction, and performances.[5][6][7][8][9][10] At the box office, the film claimed the worldwide opening weekend record, earning $483.2 million, as well as setting opening day and opening weekend records in various countries. Part 2 grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film,[11] and the highest-grossing film of 2011.[12][13] It is currently the highest-grossing film in the Harry Potter series as well as the Harry Potter franchise. The National Board of Review named Deathly Hallows – Part 2 one of the top-ten films of 2011. It was nominated for three awards at the 84th Academy Awards, and received numerous other accolades.

Plot[]

After burying Dobby, Harry Potter asks the goblin Griphook to help him, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger break into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts bank, suspecting a Horcrux is there. Griphook agrees, in exchange for the Sword of Gryffindor. Wandmaker Ollivander tells Harry that two wands taken from Malfoy Manor belonged to Bellatrix and Draco Malfoy; he senses Draco's wand has changed its allegiance to Harry when he took it from Draco. A horcrux, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, is found in Bellatrix's vault, but Griphook snatches the sword and abandons them. Trapped by security, they release the dragon guardian and flee Gringotts on its back. Harry has a vision of Lord Voldemort at Gringotts, furious at the theft. Harry also realises a Horcrux connected to Rowena Ravenclaw is hidden at Hogwarts. The trio apparate into Hogsmeade and Aberforth Dumbledore helps them, revealing that he was the one who sent Dobby to Malfoy Manor. He then reveals a secret passageway into Hogwarts, where Neville Longbottom guides them.

Severus Snape threatens any staff or students aiding Harry. During a duel, Snape flees from Professor McGonagall, who then rouses Hogwarts for battle. Luna Lovegood advises Harry to consult Helena Ravenclaw's ghost. Helena reveals Voldemort used dark magic on her mother's diadem, which is hidden in the Room of Requirement. In the Chamber of Secrets, Ron and Hermione destroy the Horcrux cup with a Basilisk fang. Meanwhile, Draco, Blaise, and Goyle attack Harry, but Ron and Hermione intervene. Goyle casts an uncontrollable Fiendfyre curse that kills him, while Harry, Ron, and Hermione rescue Malfoy and Zabini and escape on brooms. Outside, Harry stabs the diadem with the Basilisk fang, and Ron kicks it into the fire. As Voldemort's army attacks, Harry realises Voldemort's snake Nagini is the final Horcrux. The trio overhears Voldemort telling Snape the Elder Wand cannot serve him until Snape dies. Nagini attacks Snape, then as he dies, he gives Harry one of his memories. Many members of the Order, students, and staff, including Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks, are then killed in the battle at Hogwarts.

Harry views Snape's memory in the Pensieve: Snape and Harry's mother Lily were childhood friends; he was also in love with her, but she fell for Harry's father James, whom Snape despised for his arrogance and for bullying him. Harry also learns Snape attempted to protect Lily by pleading with Dumbledore to hide the Potters. Following her death, Snape worked with Albus Dumbledore as a double agent among the Death Eaters, to protect Harry from Voldemort. Harry also learns that Dumbledore was dying and planned for Snape to kill him, and that Snape conjured the Patronus doe that led Harry to Gryffindor's sword. Harry also learns that he inadvertently became a Horcrux when Voldemort's curse originally failed to kill him; Voldemort must now kill Harry to destroy the soul shard within him. Using the Resurrection Stone that had been stored in the Golden Snitch bequeathed to him, Harry sees the spirits of his parents, Sirius Black, and Remus. They comfort him before he returns to Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest. Voldemort casts the Killing Curse upon Harry, who awakens in limbo. Dumbledore's spirit meets him and explains that Harry is now free of the link to Voldemort, and can choose to return to his body or move on.

Voldemort returns with Harry's apparently dead body and demands Hogwarts surrender. As Neville takes the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat, Harry reveals he is alive, and the Malfoys abandon Voldemort along with many other Death Eaters. Molly Weasley kills Bellatrix in the Great Hall, and Neville beheads Nagini, destroying the last Horcrux. Harry defeats Voldemort when his Expelliarmus deflects Voldemort's Killing Curse back at him. After the battle, Harry explains to Ron and Hermione that Voldemort never commanded the Elder Wand; it recognised him as its true master after disarming Draco, who had previously disarmed Dumbledore. Instead of claiming the Elder Wand, Harry chooses to destroy it.

Nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny Weasley, now married, watch as their youngest son leaves on the train at King's Cross to Hogwarts alongside Ron, Hermione, and their two children.

Cast[]

Further information: List of Harry Potter cast members

In the book, a significant number of characters who have not appeared since the earlier novels return to defend Hogwarts in the climactic battle.[14] Director David Yates stated, "I want to get them all back", referring to his desire to bring back as many actors who have appeared in the franchise as possible for the battle sequence in the film. Resultantly, actors reprising their roles from previous Harry Potter films include Sean Biggerstaff as Oliver Wood, Devon Murray as Seamus Finnigan, James and Oliver Phelps as Fred and George Weasley, Clémence Poésy as Fleur Delacour, Domhnall Gleeson as Bill Weasley, Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown, Afshan Azad as Padma Patil, Anna Shaffer as Romilda Vane, Isabella Laughland as Leanne, Georgina Leonidas as Katie Bell, Katie Leung as Cho Chang, Freddie Stroma as Cormac McLaggen, Chris Rankin as Percy Weasley, Alfred Enoch as Dean Thomas, Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn, Gemma Jones as Poppy Pomfrey, Miriam Margolyes as Pomona Sprout, David Bradley as Argus Filch, Emma Thompson as Sybill Trelawney, Mark Williams as Arthur Weasley, Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks, George Harris as Kingsley Shacklebolt, Josh Herdman as Gregory Goyle, Scarlett Byrne as Pansy Parkinson, Louis Cordice as Blaise Zabini, Geraldine Somerville as Lily Potter, Adrian Rawlins as James Potter, and Leslie Phillips as the voice of the Sorting Hat.

The roles of several minor characters were recast or replaced for this film. For example, Ciarán Hinds assumed the role of Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore's brother and bartender of the Hog's Head inn.[15] For the film's epilogue, the main cast were made to look older through makeup and special effects.[16] After the initial look of their aged appearances were leaked online, some fans opined that Radcliffe and Grint looked too old while Watson did not appear significantly different. After primary filming concluded in June 2010, Yates examined the footage and concluded that the problem could not be resolved through editing or CGI, and had the sequence re-shot that December with redesigned makeup.[17]

Filming[]

St Pancras serves as the opening shot of the film's "nineteen years later" epilogue.

Part 2 was filmed back-to-back with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 from 19 February 2009 to 12 June 2010,[18][19] with reshoots for the epilogue scene taking place at Leavesden Film Studios on 21 December 2010.[20] Yates, who shot the film with director of photography Eduardo Serra, described Part 2 as "operatic, colourful and fantasy-oriented", a "big opera with huge battles".[21][22]

Originally set for a single theatrical release, the idea to split the book into two parts was suggested by executive producer Lionel Wigram due to, what David Heyman called, "creative imperative". Heyman initially responded negatively to the idea, but Wigram asked, "No, David. How are we going to do it?". After rereading the book and discussing it with screenwriter Steve Kloves, he agreed with the division.[23]

Sets[]

In an interview with Architectural Digest, production designer Stuart Craig remarked on creating sets for Part 2. Of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, he said, "our banking hall, like any other, is made of marble and big marble columns. And it has great strength. The fact that the goblins are the bankers and tellers at the counter helps that feeling of grandeur and solidity and the big proportions. That was part of the fun of the set: we exaggerated the size of it, we exaggerated the weight of it, and we even exaggerated the shine of the marble." About the multiplication of treasure in one of the bank's vaults, he noted, "We made literally thousands of pieces for it and vacuum metallised them to be shiny gold and silver. John Richardson, the special effects supervisor, made a floor that was capable of rising on different levels, so there was kind of a physical swelling of the treasure on it."[24]

Craig spoke about the Battle of Hogwarts to Art Insights Magazine, saying that "the great challenge is the destruction of Hogwarts. The sun rising behind the smoke ... the massive remains of destroyed walls, the entrance hall, the entrance of the Great Hall, part of the roof of the Great Hall completely gone, so yeah. A big challenge there and an enjoyable one really – maybe it helped me and the guys in the art department sort of prepare for the end ... we demolished it before we had to strike it completely." When asked about the King's Cross scene near the end of the film, Craig said, "We experimented a lot, quite honestly. I mean it was quite a protracted process really but we did experiment the sense of it being very burnt out very very kind of white – so we experimented with underlit floors, we experimented with different kind of white covering everything: white paint, white fabric, and the cameraman was involved in how much to expose it, and a series of camera tests were done, so we got there but with a great deal of preparation and research."[25]

Visual effects[]

Visual effects supervisor Tim Burke said that "It was such a major job to stage the Battle of Hogwarts, and we had to do it in different stages of production. We had shots with complex linking camera moves from wide overviews, to flying into windows and interior spaces. So, we took the plunge at the end of 2008, and started rebuilding the school digitally with Double Negative." He went on to say: "It's taken two years – getting renders out, texturing every facet of the building, constructing interiors to see through windows, building a destruction version of the school. We can design shots with the knowledge that we have this brilliant digital miniature that we can do anything with. With a practical Hogwarts, we would have shot it last summer and been so tied down. Instead, as David Yates finds the flow and structure, we are able to handle new concepts and ideas."[26]

On the quality of 3D in film, Burke told Los Angeles Times, "I think it's good, actually. I think people are going to be really pleased. I know everyone's a little nervous and sceptical of 3D these days, but the work has been done very, very well. We've done over 200 shots in 3D and in the visual effects as well, because so much of it is CGI, so the results are very, very good. I think everyone's going to be really impressed with it, actually." Producer David Heyman spoke to SFX magazine about the 3D conversion, saying that "The way David Yates is approaching 3D is he's trying to approach it from a character and story point of view. Trying to use the sense of isolation, of separation that sometimes 3D gives you, to heighten that at appropriate moments. So we're approaching it in a storytelling way."[27][28]

In 2012, the visual effects in the film were nominated for an Oscar. The film also won the BAFTA Award for Best Special Visual Effects at the 65th BAFTA Awards in 2012.

It was originally planned that John Williams, who composed the scores for the first three instalments, would return to compose the final film's score, but he was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts.[29] It was confirmed that the composer for Part 1, Alexandre Desplat, was set to return for Part 2.[30] In an interview with Film Music Magazine, Desplat stated that scoring Part 2 is "a great challenge" and that he has "a lot of expectations to fulfill and a great deal of work" ahead of him.[31] In a separate interview, Desplat also made note that Williams's themes will be present in the film "much more than in Part 1".[32] The soundtrack for the film was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.[33]

Marketing[]

On 2 April 2011, a test screening of the film was held in Chicago, with Yates, Heyman, Barron and editor Mark Day in attendance.[38] The film had its world premiere on 7 July 2011 at Trafalgar Square in London.[39] The United States premiere was held in New York City at Lincoln Center on 11 July 2011.[40] Although filmed in 2D, the film was converted into 3D in post-production and was released in both RealD 3D, IMAX 3-D and 4DX.[41]

The film was originally scheduled to open in Indonesia on 13 July 2011.[42] The Indonesian government levied a new value added tax on royalties from foreign films in February 2011, causing three film studios, including Warner Bros., to halt the importation of their films, including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 into the country.[42] The film was not released to cinemas in the Kingdom of Jordan due to recently enforced taxes on films.[43]

On 10 June, one month before release, tickets went on sale.[44] On 16 June 2011, Part 2 received a 12A[45] certificate from the British Board of Film Classification, who note that the film "contains moderate threat, injury detail and language", becoming the only Harry Potter film to receive a warning for "injury detail". At midnight on 15 July, Part 2 screened in 3,800 cinemas. In the United States, it played in 4,375 cinemas, 3,100 3D cinemas and 274 IMAX cinemas, the widest release for an IMAX, 3D, 4DX and Harry Potter film.

Prior to its release, the film was predicted by box office analysts to break records, citing the anticipation built up over the course of 10 years.[60][61] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 grossed $381.4 million in the United States and Canada, along with $960.8 million in other markets, for a worldwide total of $1.342 billion.[1] In worldwide earnings, it was the third-highest-grossing film, the highest-grossing film of 2011,[12] the highest-grossing film in the Harry Potter franchise, and the highest-grossing book adaptation.[62] It also became the highest-grossing film for Warner Bros. until 2023's Barbie,[13] as well as the highest-grossing release from parent company WarnerMedia, surpassing The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.[63] Part 2 set a worldwide opening-weekend record with $483.2 million.[55][64] This record would be held for four years before Jurassic World took it in 2015.[65] The film set a worldwide IMAX opening-weekend record with $23.2 million.[66][67] It set the worldwide record as the fastest film to gross $500 million (6 days),[68][69] $600 million (8 days),[70] $700 million (10 days),[71] $800 million (12 days),[71] and $900 million (15 days).[72] On 30 July 2011, the film crossed the $1 billion mark, tying the 19-day record that had been set by Avatar.[73][74][75] It was also the fastest Warner Bros. film to cross that mark until Barbie surpassed it in 2023, passing it in 17 days.[76]

United States and Canada[]

In the US and Canada, the film became the 13th-highest-grossing film at the time of its release,[77] the highest-grossing film of 2011,[78] the highest-grossing Harry Potter film, the highest-grossing children's book adaptation,[79] the highest-grossing fantasy/live action film[80] and the 13th-highest-grossing 3-D film.[81] Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold more than 40 million tickets.[82] It set new records in advance ticket sales with $32 million,[83][84] in its midnight opening with $43.5 million[56] and in its IMAX midnight opening with $2 million.[54][85] It grossed $91.1 million on its opening Friday, setting a Friday-gross record as well as single- and opening-day records.[86] It also set an opening-weekend record with $169.2 million, an IMAX opening-weekend record of $15.2 million and opening-weekend record for a 3-D film.[87][88][89] Although 3-D enhanced the film's earning potential, only 43% of the opening gross came from 3-D venues. This means only $72.8 million of the opening-weekend grosses originated from 3-D showings, the second-largest number at the time.[57]

It also scored the largest three-day[90] and four-day gross,[91][92] the sixth-highest-grossing opening week (Friday to Thursday) with $226.2 million,[93] and even the seventh-largest seven-day gross.[94] It fell precipitously by 84% on its second Friday[95] and by 72% during its second weekend overall, grossing $47.4 million, which is the largest second-weekend drop for any film that opened to more than $90 million.[96] Still, it managed to become the fastest-grossing film in the franchise and also achieved the second-largest ten-day gross ever at the time (now eighth).[97] In its third weekend, the movie surpassed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to become the highest-grossing film of the franchise in the US & Canada.[98]

Critical response[]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of Lua error in Module:Rotten_Tomatoes_data at line 136: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). based on Lua error in Module:Rotten_Tomatoes_data at line 136: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). reviews, with an average score of Lua error in Module:Rotten_Tomatoes_data at line 136: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).. The site's critical consensus reads, "Thrilling, powerfully acted, and visually dazzling, Deathly Hallows Part II brings the Harry Potter franchise to a satisfying – and suitably magical – conclusion."[121] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating to reviews, the film has a score of 85 out of 100 based on 41 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[122] The film received a score of 93 from professional critics at the Broadcast Film Critics Association; it is the organisation's highest-rated Harry Potter film.[123] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[124]

Philip Womack in The Daily Telegraph commented, "This is monumental cinema, awash with gorgeous tones, and carrying an ultimate message that will resonate with every viewer, young or old: there is darkness in all of us, but we can overcome it." He further expressed that David Yates "transmutes [the book] into a genuinely terrifying spectacle."[125] Another review was released on the same day from Evening Standard, who rated the film four out of five and stated "Millions of children, parents, and those who should know better won't need reminding what a Horcrux is – and director David Yates does not let them down. In fact, in some ways, he helps make up for the shortcomings of the final book."[126] The Daily Express remarked that the film showcases "a terrifying showdown that easily equals Lord of the Rings or Star Wars in terms of a dramatic and memorable battle between good and evil".[127]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four and said, "The finale conjures up enough awe and solemnity to serve as an appropriate finale and a dramatic contrast to the lighthearted (relative) innocence of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all those magical years ago."[128] Mark Kermode from the BBC said that the film is a "pretty solid and ambitious adaptation of a very complex book", but he criticised the post-converted 3D.[129] Christy Lemire of the Associated Press gave the film three and a half out of four and said "While Deathly Hallows: Part 2 offers long-promised answers, it also dares to pose some eternal questions, and it'll stay with you after the final chapter has closed."[130] Richard Roeper, also from the Chicago Sun-Times, gave the film an A+ rating and said: "This is a masterful and worthy final chapter in one of the best franchises ever put to film."[131]

In one of the few negative reviews, Brian Gibson of Vue Weekly described the film as "deadly dull" and a "visual overstatement".[132] Other reviews criticised the decision to split the novel into two cinematic parts, with Ben Mortimer of The Daily Telegraph writing "Deathly Hallows – Part 2 isn't a film. It's HALF a film ... it's going to feel somewhat emotionless." Other critics wrote of the film's runtime; Alonso Duralde from The Wrap said, "If there's one substantial flaw to the film, it's that this cavalcade of people and places and objects can barely fit in the 130-minute running time."[133] Rebecca Gillie of The Oxford Student gave the film two out of five and wrote: "At the end of [the film] there is nothing that stays with you once you've left the cinema."[134]

Entertainment, Inc. applied to purchase the rights to the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a follow-up to The Deathly Hallows, leading to speculation that the stage play was being planned to be adapted into a film.[142][143] In November 2021, Chris Columbus, who directed the first two instalments of the film series, expressed interest in directing an adaptation of The Cursed Child, with the intent of having the main cast members reprise their roles.[144][145][146][147] In March 2022, when The New York Times asked Radcliffe whether he would return to his role as Harry Potter, he replied that he was not interested at the moment, but did not deny the possibility of returning to the role in the future.[148][149]

In a Sunday Times interview in August 2025,[150] Columbus confirmed that he maintains close relationships with the original cast but has not spoken to Rowling in "a decade or so".[151] He went on to state that the controversy over Rowling's views on transgender people meant that a film adaptation of The Cursed Child with the original cast was "never going to happen".[150][151] In a recent interview with Variety, Columbus spoke of "separating the artist from the art" and described the controversy around Rowling as "just sad, it's very sad", while noting that he does not agree with her views.[152]
