As of 2012, the film is the fourth highest grossing film of all time,[11] the highest grossing film of 2011, the highest grossing film in the Harry Potter series, and the ninth film to gross over $1 billion.[12]

The first review of the film was released on 5 July 2011, by The Daily Telegraph. Philip Womack commented, "This is monumental cinema, awash with gorgeous tones, and 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." He further expressed that David Yates "transmutes [the book] into a genuinely terrifying spectacle."[48] Another review was released on the same day from Evening Standard, who rated the film 4 out of 5 and stated "Millions of children, parents, and those who should know better won't need reminding what a Horcrux is – and director David Yates does not let them down. In fact, in some ways, he helps make up for the shortcomings of the final book."[49] The Daily Express remarked that the film showcases "a terrifying showdown that easily equals Lord of the Rings or Star Wars in terms of a dramatic and memorable battle between good and evil."[50]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 1⁄2 out of 4 stars and said that "The finale conjures up enough awe and solemnity to serve as an appropriate finale and a dramatic contrast to the lighthearted (relative) innocence of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone all those magical years ago."[51] Mark Kermode from the BBC said that the film is a "pretty solid and ambitious adaptation of a very complex book", but he criticised the post-converted 3D.[52] Christy Lemire of the Associated Press gave the film 3 1⁄2 out of 4 stars and said "While Deathly Hallows: Part 2 offers long-promised answers, it also dares to pose some eternal questions, and it'll stay with you after the final chapter has closed."[53] Richard Roeper, also from the Chicago Sun-Times, gave the film an A+ rating and said that "This is a masterful and worthy final chapter in one of the best franchises ever put to film."[54]
In one of the few negative reviews, Brian Gibson of Vue Weekly described the movie as "deadly dull" and a "visual overstatement".[55]
