It feels good to finally be able to say Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 opens next month. A new round of TV spots continues the war on Hogwarts as Voldemort tries to make Harry feel guilty for putting those who fight with him in mortal danger. I didn’t tear up this time, so I consider that progress. I did, however, start thinking that I wish my wand lit up and shot sparks. (Yes, I have a wand.) Watch the spots below. READ FULL STORY »

New 'Deathly Hallows' poster: No, not the face!
Darkness continues to reign in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 marketing campaign, but in comparison to the gritty poster of Harry going head-to-head with Voldemort, this latest solo image (at right) almost looks like a glamour shot. We love it. Harry’s looking strong, and like he’s just done a spell to clean his glasses.

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2' trailer: I. Don't. Want. This. To. Ever. End.
I’ve been staring at my computer screen for the last five minutes trying to come up with the words to describe my reaction to the new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2. On the one hand, I feel it is my journalistic obligation to note dispassionately that it features foreboding shots of horcruxes, ominous shots of Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), and disquieting voice-over from Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). And on the other hand, OMIGOD, did you SEE that giant pale dragon breaking out of Gringotts, and the fiendfyre attacking Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), and Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) literally pulling Voldemort into battle with him?!? Harry Potter fans worldwide are now confronted more than ever with the delicious irony of wishing July 15 could be tomorrow and yet never actually wanting this movie to end. Check out the trailer below and see for yourself: READ FULL STORY »

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2' footage ruminates on sacrifice and loss
Image Credit: Jaap Buitendijk
We were warned from the start that the four minutes of footage was rough. But for any lover of the Harry Potter films, it was a preview that would surely strike at the heart.
Though the story has already been finished and published by J.K. Rowling, the final half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows won’t reach the screen until July 15. For those who’ve faithfully followed Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint over the past decade as they played the boy wizard and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, the closing of this franchise is bound to come freighted with emotion.
The good news: The finale will lean hard on those feelings, depicting not just a climactic battle between good and evil, but also ruminating on the losses and sacrifices it took to get there. Harry Potter fans know how it all turns out, but this film is determined to remind us that the price for a happy ending is often a lot of unhappy endings.
After the jump, here’s what theater owners gathered at CinemaCon saw (and let us pause to mention the requisite SPOILER ALERT here):

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2' poster appropriately gritty
The Harry Potter marketing machine continues to do it right: The new poster for the final installment of the franchise features a stare down between bruised and battered Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). I love it: Not only because the blood on Harry’s face reminds you that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 is a war film, but because you can’t help but think of what this image would’ve looked like had it been Harry circa Sorcerer’s Stone and appreciate the man he’s become. (Note how the light catches Harry’s stubble… when you’re not mesmerized by Voldemort’s fingernail.) I also love that they went with this strong image, with the wand at the center and the line “IT ALL ENDS 7.15″ and didn’t care that it left no room for the title of the movie. Eight films in, we know it.
