17. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (#201)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 succeed into rendering an appropriate filmic climax to the phenomenon that is Harry Potter. But that isn't to say that the movie, by any means, was anything special. Let's face it: ever since David Yates took over directional duties, the products began to feel increasingly like... well, products. It was almost as if there was a factory somewhere churning out "Harry Potter" movies, year after year. Which is to say that Deathly Hallows: Part 2 lacks personality, and suffers from being the second part in a movie that only need to be one. Granted, people seemed please with the final results (well, except for that horrible epilogue, perhaps), and this has often been cited as the best of all the Harry Potter movies. But does it deserve its place at 201, when the actually best movie - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - doesn't make the 250?
