Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) has similarities with the Harry Potter film franchise. The teenage Watson resembles Harry Potter; school experiments; Holmes has a rivalry with Dudley, another student similar to Harry's with Draco Malfoy; Dudley and Malfoy both come from rich parents; cavernous libraries; sweets; train stations; the novelization uses the word potty or Potter; students being injured and needing to see the school nurse; teaches and students eating in the Great Hall; Holmes, Watson, and a third character Elizabeth solving mysteries while at school and Harry, Ron, and Hermione doing the same at Hogwarts; staircases; Harry, Holmes and Watson creeping through a school library at night; Watson and Hagrid say "sorry about at"; the end of school term; the threat of expulsion; no family for Harry to return to, even at Christmas; Harry has a scar on his forehead, while Holmes has one on his cheek; seemingly innocent teaching staff exposed as the opposite; head boys, et cetera.

Goofs
When Luna leaves Shell Cottage (to return to Hogwarts), she has long hair blowing in the wind. In the Room of Requirement (when she and Cho talk about Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem), her hair is short. When she talks to Harry on the spiral staircase, her hair's long again.
She had her hair in a bun/ponytail. It might have fallen out of the bun in the chaos going on. See more »
Quotes
[first lines]
Luna Lovegood:
[looking at landscape around Shell Cottage from doorway]
It's beautiful here.
Bill Weasley:
It was our aunt's. We used to come here as kids. The order uses it now as a safe house. What's left of us at least.
Luna Lovegood:
[looking at wind chime made of shells]
Muggles think these keep away evil, but they're wrong.
Harry Potter:
[to Bill]
I need to talk to the goblin.

A flashback to the final scene of the previous film, in which Voldemort steals the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb, is shown even before the Warner Bros. shield. See more »
What can I say... This was by far the most amazing finale any fan could have asked for. I cried, I laughed, I was short of breath in many instances, I was disturbed, but overall I was thoroughly satisfied with the conclusion of this series. I felt something amazing after the movie ended, something I didn't feel after reading the book. Being able to watch the end of Harry Potter on the big screen really brought the impact of just how much this series has touched not only my life, but the lives of everyone around me. Deathly Hallows Part 2 is by far (in my opinion) the best movie of 2011 and quite possibly one of the best movies of all time. I don't want to give any spoilers I just want to express how happy I am with this film. It picks up where Part 1 left off, all of the characters get the closure they deserve, and the story just comes full circle!
BRAVO!!! That is all I have to say. Thank you to everyone involved in these movies for taking the world on such an amazing journey. J.K Rowling, thank you for writing such a masterpiece that will truly live on in my heart, and so many others hearts for years to come.
Go see this movie!
