Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

July 15, 2011



A decade in the making, the final showdown between Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, and Lord Voldemort, the evil wizard who wants to take over the world all comes together in Deathly Hallows: Part 2. And producer David Barron promises that the final confrontation will deliver. "The battle at the end is enormous," he tells Popular Mechanics. "It's the first time we've properly had the enemy on Hogwarts soil. And there's a lot of death and destruction. There's some real excitement in it and some real emotion, too—you can't gloss over how important a moment this is in the world of Harry Potter. Because Harry and Voldemort have met before, and as they know from the prophecy in the fifth film, that one must die that the other may live. And they don't know which one it is." Fans of the book, of course, know how it ends but will undoubtedly be excited to see it brought to life on the big screen (in 3D, no less). And so are we.
