The article discusses the 15th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the final film in the Harry Potter film franchise. It highlights the success and critical acclaim of the film and the impact it had on the fantasy movie genre.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 dropped in theaters 15 years ago, and it ended one of the most consistently successful film franchises in Hollywood history.
Based on the novels by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter film franchise started its run in 2001 with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone). The film follows a young boy named Harry Potter who learns he is a wizard and enrolls at Hogwarts, an elite wizard academy. The seven books were adapted into eight movies, with the last book split into two movies.
That last film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, sees Harry and his friends gather with the students and faculty at Hogwarts to battle Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. It is a perfect finale to a movie franchise that never faltered throughout its entire run. With four different directors and a fantastic recurring cast, it remains a highlight of the fantasy movie genre.
This year, HBO Max starts its Harry Potter reboot of the entire franchise as a long-form series. The television format allows it to tell more of the story from the books and pick up on dropped plot lines and characters that the movies couldn't fit into the running time.
However, that does not mean it is going to work as well as the movies, and it has a long uphill battle to match the films for several reasons. However, at least the fans will always have the original movies to fall back on
