An Early Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Here's a link to an early review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
http://imstillwandering.blogspot.com/2011/07/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part-2.html
My favorite part of this reviewer's blog post was:
"I think this film has been the most cinematically beautiful; the performances were grand with many characters, Hermione and Snape in particular, coming into their own, with the only exception in my mind being Ginny. I'm sorry; I'm just not going to be a fan. I'm sure she's a lovely person, but she just does not fit the part for me, her acting seems quite forced be it down to skill or script, and the chemistry between Harry and Ginny just did not develop, unlike Ron and Hermione's whose has flourished and grown naturally…. theirs… the kiss… guys… seriously… whoops and hollers; it was bang on lovely, sweet, passionate, giggly…. Lovely.
"90% of the film was satisfying, heart-wrenching, funny, poignant, terrifying, suspenseful, teary, correct in spirit to the novel, visual depictions bang on (the protective spells, the dragon, the piece of Voldemort in the Heavenly King's Cross… wow)."
I really hope this film is as good as this blogger says it is. 12 days left!
The Last Day on Harry Potter
This video shows clips of the last day of filming for several of the members of the cast of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. We see the fond farewells given to various cast members, including Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, Helena Bonham Carter, and Robbie Coltrane. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson cried and hugged each other when they realized that it was all over. What an emotional farewell to an outstanding cast!

New Deathly Hallows TV Spot Shows Fred's Death
Watch this TV spot and stop at 0:13. Is that a Death Eater attacking Fred?!? I hope WB doesn't give away too much about the film before July 15th.
