Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011, Warner, PG-13, $30) — The finale to the world's most lucrative film franchise — sorry Mr. Bond — delivers the goods in spectacular fashion. A decade after Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) arrived at Hogwarts to hone their wand-flicking skills, it's finally time for Harry to face down the despicable Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

Everything about this send-off works like a charm from a nail-biting Gringotts Bank escape to the re-appearance of Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) when Harry needs her most to a discreetly tear-jerking coda. Wonderful to see this series go out on such a high note. Extras: featurettes, deleted scenes and a conversation between J.K. Rowling and Radcliffe.
