Yesterday, the first review of the feverishly anticipated epic emerged in the UK.
"This is monumental cinema," gushed The Telegraph, "carrying an ultimate message that will resonate with every viewer, young or old: there is darkness in all of us, but we can overcome it."
But the praise came with a back-hander for the author - "Perhaps the greatest triumph of this final film is its ability to overcome the deficiencies of J.K. Rowling's writing," The Telegraph said.
"In the last Harry Potter volume, she failed singularly to muster the epic feel needed; as a result, on the page, the concluding battle at Hogwarts was a damp squib."
On screen, the battle becomes "a genuinely terrifying spectacle, as bloodied students fight desperately against a horde of screaming black-robed Death Eaters".
The three leads - Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) - all received a pass mark.
"Radcliffe's erstwhile plankishness has transformed into a heroic stoicism; Watson has perfected the requisite winsome, fearful look, panting and gasping with the best of them; and even Grint can now do 'emotional'."
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 opens in Australia at midnight next Wednesday.
