(PaPa, OO, CC, BB, ACACAC, FR, L, VV, N, A, M) Mixed pagan worldview with some strong occult elements that include witchcraft and getting help from speaking to ghosts and some Christian allegorical elements that are surprisingly overt and redemptive and will remind some of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and His resurrection (a major scene takes place in a passage leading to the afterlife that reminds one character of King’s Cross station in London named after Jesus), plus some strong moral elements of fighting a tyrannical evil that reminds one of the worst parts of national socialism and communism and a reference to what sounds like the false religion of works righteousness three “h” words, one “b” word and a couple uses of the English swear word “bloody” strong, sometimes intense action violence as “good” battles evil includes magical explosions and attacks, fireball from magical spell endangers teenagers and swallows one villainous teenager, sounds of a large evil snake striking one character are heard and some blood is scene on a window and later on his neck, people encounter a dragon that’s upset and tries to get them, people fall, people die, stone soldiers fight giants, giant spiders attack people but you can’t really see much of that, snake’s head chopped off, parts of dragon’s body smashes into rooftops, villain tries to kill heroic teenager, sorcerers battle one another no sex but two kisses between two teenage couples upper male nudity when two teenage boys put on dry pullovers teenagers reach for what looks like some kind of beer on a table with some food no smoking and, breaking and entering, greed, arrogance, and disdain for love and goodness but mostly rebuked. In fact, despite its overt redemptive aspects, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART II almost turns the final confrontation scene into just a spectacular magical showdown. Thus, the book’s message that love is what really conquers the villain’s pride, greed and disdain for goodness is diluted.

Also, although the movie does have some of the strongest overt redemptive and Christian allegorical elements from the book, it leaves out others. That said, PART II doesn’t have quite the emotional heft and excitement of the seventh book’s ending. The final chapter to Harry Potter’s adventures contains some of the most exciting, heartfelt moments in the whole series. Eventually, the trail leads back to their school, Hogwarts, where the final showdown between Harry and Voldermort occurs. If they can destroy these parts of Voldermort’s soul, they have a good chance of killing Voldermort himself for good.

Voldemort uses these hidden objects to re-construct his snake-like body multiple times. HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART II opens with Harry Potter and his two friends, Ron and Hermione, tracking down another of the special objects that contains parts of the evil sorcerer Voldemort’s dark soul.
