Movie review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 (3D) ****
Ten years. Eight films. Four directors. It’s official: Against all odds, Harry Potter is as stirring a film saga as Lord of the Rings. The finale is a potion that induces euphoria, tinged with melancholy.

DVD review: The Change-Up
