High-def Digest reviews Deathly Hallows Part 2 Blu-ray

Final Thoughts
The best movie of the franchise gets a proper send off with a demo-worthy visual display coupled with an audio presentation that will nearly blow you off your couch. There's nothing to dislike about the way this disc looks or sounds, the fact that it's a really good movie simply puts it over the edge. The Blu-ray exclusive special features are informative and worthwhile. The Maximum Movie Mode is a feature every fan will want to explore. When you add it all up, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' is a must own title. Even more so since Warner announced that it will be pulling all of the copies from store shelves by the end of this year. Get it while you can.

This thing is one bombastically charged ride. Directionality is top-notch. From the wiz-bang action as spells zoom by in and out of frame to the distant crackle of Death Eater spells exploding on the shield above Hogwarts. Even the quieter moments are cause for rejoicing. When Hermione, disguised as Bellatrix, enters Gringotts Harry and Griphook are supposed to be standing right beside her under Harry's invisibility cloak. Griphook whispers to Hermione that the other goblins know they're imposters. The surrounds pick up this bit of dialogue so well you'll think Griphook is standing right next to you.
It's hard to not notice all the fine detail shining off the screen. Just take a look at the faces of Harry and Voldemort at the end. Dirtied and bloody, where each speck of mud and gunk is completely visible. The ultra-close-ups of them reveal the tiniest pores, hairs, and dirt flecks. As Hogwarts lay in ruins and the camera swoops down over a rubble-covered courtyard, even at mid-range you can see intricate patterns in the brick-lain courtyard floor. The tiniest age lines are extensively revealed on Olivander's face, even though he sits quite a distance from where the camera is placed. The special effects this time around take on a life of their own. The tiny, pulsating concentric rings of blue light that pulse forth from the students' wands in the darkness are easily visible. The shield that is created by the teachers at Hogwarts is something special. It has a total organic feel as it comes together. Spells and curses fly by with stunning ferocity, each of them clearly defined. As they smash into rocks and walls they send tiny chunks of rubble flying, all of which can be seen with clarity.
