Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2

I have long been a fan of the Harry Potter series, both the books and the movies in their own rights.  I waited with barely-contained excitement for the final film, The Deathly Hallows Part 2, and last night we went to the midnight premier.  As a movie it succeeded in bringing the story to a close in a masterful cinematic spectacle, but as a fan of the books, I was extremely disappointed.
