Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

"Brilliant film – best of the bunch."

"Best yet, saw it on Friday, seeing it again. They still don't quite get it, but this is the closest yet."
Emma Anne James
"J K Rowling should have killed Potter off properly, and had him sacrifice his own life in order to finally get rid of Voldemort. It would have been a much more plausible and adult ending."
Carol Emmas
"Just fantastic."
Jake Rubinsky
"Was it as good as the book? What movie ever has been? What goes on in your head in your imagination will always trump any film. Was it an excellent adaptation? Yes, it was. They ended it all perfectly."
Emily MacIntosh
"Radcliffe looked out of his depth, especially in the part where Harry learns that he has to die – he's meant to look shocked, scared and nervous at the same time, but Radcliffe fails to pull it off."
Tushar Kelkar
"A perfect end to a magical coming-of-age story. 'No story lives unless someone wants to listen... the stories we love best do live in us forever.' Nothing better than J K Rowling's words from the book to describe this last instalment of the great HP saga."
Antonella Gramola Sands
"David Yates did it badly. There is not a single gripping battle scene in the movie. This part is about the battle for Hogwarts, for Gryffindor's sake!"
Chozo Tull
"I am a Christian and I generally avoid TV shows and movies about witches and witchcraft."
