The gritty adventures of Harry Potter conclude with the final movie to be released tonight at midnight.

The mission of KUT News is to bring you news about the issues important to people living in Austin. But we also know that news just can't always compete with everyone's favorite bespectacled wizard. The lastHarry Potter film opens at midnight tonight. KUT News brings you a roundup of reviews for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.

Here's what NPR's Kenneth Turan had to say about the flick.

The New York Times' Manohla Dargis also reviewed "Deathly Hallows, 2.0"

The Rolling Stone's Peter Travers gave it 3.5 stars.

And finally, Salon explores the curious (and lucrative) choice to divide the seventh book into two movies and declares it entertaining, if slightly generic.

(Salon is obviously populated by silly Muggles under the influence of the Imperius curse.)

You can read more reviews about the final "Harry Potter" movie on Rotten Tomatoes.
