“The boy who lived...come to die.”
You’ve seen the epic trailer, you’ve been teased with posters galore and you’ve been suffering night tremors ever since you saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 last winter.
Now, it’s finally time. Time for war.
The conclusion of the unprecedented eight-film series is upon us and we’ve got one more glimpse behind the curtain of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 before you mount the Gringotts dragon and fly into battle.
Last year, I was lucky enough to be kidnapped by a eight-foot-tall bearded man and taken to Hogwarts castle, where I got a glimpse of how director David Yates, his production team, a cast of every British actor known to man and Mr. Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, planned to make Deathly Hallows the perfect cap to an emotional franchise. My interview with Radcliffe and discussion of the first half of Deathly Hallows went up last October, but now I have a deeper look at what to expect from Part 2.
In short: ACTION
The trailer gives you a pretty good idea how big Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is aiming to be, but don’t take my word for it...well, do take my word for it, as I experienced the destruction of Hogwarts first hand and chatted it up with Yates, production designer Stuart Craig, Neville Longbottom a.k.a. Matt Lewis and the legendary actor Warwick Davis.
Read on, wizards.
