Dear everyone who wrote, produced or created the final "Harry Potter" movie,
First, I would just like to ask, did you even read the ending of the seventh "Harry Potter" book? Where in the story do Harry and Voldemort jump off a cliff and fly around the school together? Did you skip over the pages where Harry and Voldemort have a stand-off in front of the entire school?
I hope you know you disappointed millions of fans the day you released "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2." What should have been the most epic standoff in cinematic history, was demoted to anticlimactic and less-than-satisfying.
I remember the first time I read the "Deathly Hallows;" I gripped the book in anticipation and felt the intensity build up as I read each line as fast as I could without missing a single word. I remember picturing Harry and Voldemort circling each other as the entire crowd watched behind an invisible shield. And I remember jumping with an intense sense of victory when Harry finally defeated Voldemort.
But all of that was lost when I watched the film for the first time. Harry didn't stand victoriously as his friends, classmates and professors rushed toward him. Instead, the victory happened in seclusion. No one witnessed the greatest victory literature has probably ever seen.
Harry's speech to Voldemort at the end of the book, which was also lost in the big screen adaptation, was crucial to understanding the story. He explains to Voldemort why he would never be able to defeat The Chosen One. This scene in the book ties the entire series together. With the film adaptation, however, viewers who have never read the books, miss out on the entire explanation. Loose ends are not tied. They miss out on what should have been the most satisfying, long-awaited scene of the series.
As someone who's been a huge "Harry Potter" nerd since middle school, I can say the film falls short of my expectations. Even now, five years after the final movie was released, I'm still so disappointed in the ending.
So, David Yates and everyone who's ever worked on a "Harry Potter" film, I kindly ask that you rewrite the final movie (and don't forget to stay true to the book) and make a whole new "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2." Please and thank you.
Yours truly,
A dissatisfied "Harry Potter" fan
