Hey y’all – so I finally got out to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 last night – and it was awesome! It opened nearly a month ago and between my schedule and trying to get together with friends to see it, it took some time to sort out a date to go. And like many endings, it was a bittersweet evening at the movies. That’s it. No more Harry Potter stories.

The last book/movies have an amazing combination of adventure, suspense and heartache – and I love how some of the supporting characters get a chance to shine. Neville Longbottom really comes into his own and brings it. And you do not want to cross Mrs. Weasley. Ever.

No spoilers here, but here are the trailers for the final installement of J.K. Rowling’s final book about the boy wizard. Here’s the first trailer:

And here’s the second:

Of course, there’s always Pottermore website – which is to be up and running in October: http://www.pottermore.com/

I had no problem with the final book being split into two films – and thought that where they ended part 1/began part 2 worked very well. What did you think of the final films?

Loved ’em! One of my favourite bits from Part 2 wasn’t in the book, but was so perfect for the character and story: Maggie Smith’s Professor McGonagall animates the statues at Hogwarts to help defend the castle, and confesses with a guilty twinkle, “I always wanted to do that spell!”.

I loved that part too – but couldn’t recall if it was in the book.
