The film that Harry Potter fans have been waiting for - and dreading - is approaching fast. On July 15, the final instalment in the Harry Potter series will be released, bringing an end to the action-packed saga that has gripped the world for over 15 years since J.K. Rowling's first novel was released. A sneak peek at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has been released, with a teaser trailer and the film's stars talking about what we can expect from the climactic film.
The final film will the see the much-anticipated battle between Harry Potter and his nemesis Lord Voldermort. In the featurette, Daniel Radcliffe says: 'Something's got to give. Harry is aware that the floodgates are open and that he is going to have to be the one that deals with Voldermort.
'The reason they're on this journey is much bigger than any one of them. It has to come to a head at some point,' he says. 'This is it, really. This is the end of the line,' Rupert Grint, who plays Harry sidekick Ron Weasley, adds.
After spending months searching the country for Voldermort's horcruxes - the source of his power and immortality - in order to defeat, Harry and his friends will eventually return to Hogwarts for the final showdown. The first Deathly Hallows ended with Harry, Hermione and Ron on a mission to find these objects, and becoming increasingly frustrated with their lack of progress.
In between quests for hidden horcruxes and duals with Lord Voldermort, Harry finds time for a little romance. The newly-released clip shows a lingering kiss between Harry and his love interest Ginny Weasley. Fans of the book are also looking forward to the highly anticipated embrace between Hermione and Ron. Rupert Grint spoke about kissing his co-star, recently announced as the new face of Lancome, during promotion work for the last installment.http://www.morungexpress.com/entertainment/63707.html
INFORAMA COMMENT
What can you say? The event of the year for fantasy film lovers is fast approaching. Part II of the last film in the Harry Potter series is due to debut in July. The renowned stories of Harry Potter and company growing up in troubled times in the wizard world have been, quite literally, entertaining the world since J.K. Rowling published the first Potter novel in 1977. Since then over four hundred million copies in 67 languages have been sold almost as quickly as they were printed. As an aside, the very first printing of one thousand copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone printed by Bloomsbury Press in England are estimated to be worth $25,000 to $40,000 each.
The author has stated in a number of interviews that one of the principal themes of the Potter series was death and loss. She was finishing her first Potter novel when her mother died. Rowling has also stated that her mother's death had a profound effect on her and her writing.
Another interesting item is that Rowling's target audience/readers are the young. And while there is certainly fantasy on the minds of young readers and movie goers who wish they had an invisibility cloak or a magic wand, she injects strong doses of reality when favorite characters are killed. You could hear an audience moan when Albus Dumbledore, the revered headmaster at Hogwarts (the Harvard of wizard schools) is killed defending the school and his young charges.

Rowling follows the traditions of great storytellers such as Aesop by teaching lessons of life as well as telling a great tale. Her superb lexicon of wizard gadgets and spells remind you of another great British story teller, J.R.R. Tolkien of Hobbit fame. Both series of films were relatively faithful to their book's storylines.
From the release of the first Harry Potter film in 2001 to the present each movie has provided spectacular visuals of magicians and muggles (for those not in the know, muggles are non-magical characters.) Additionally, Rawlings presented a number of typical magical creatures-dragons and some not so typical critters-such as Hippogriffs, a kind of unicorn with the chest and head of an eagle.
The author has stated in a number of interviews that one of the principal themes of the Potter series was death and loss. She was finishing her first Potter novel when her mother died. Rowling has also stated that her mother's death had a profound effect on her and her writing.
Another interesting item is that Rowling's target audience/readers are the young. And while there is certainly fantasy on the minds of young readers and movie goers who wish they had an invisibility cloak or a magic wand, she injects strong doses of reality when favorite characters are killed. You could hear an audience moan when Albus Dumbledore, the revered headmaster at Hogwarts (the Harvard of wizard schools) is killed defending the school and his young charges.
Part II of this final episode should be every bit as exciting as the previous Potter movies. Over the past ten years, audiences have watched the principal characters, Harry, Ron and Hermione grow from young children into adults. I took my own young children to the theatre to see every Harry Potter film as they were released and watched them gaze at the screen in awe of their wizard heroes. It makes me a little sad to see the characters all grown up. It reminds me that my children are adults now and I will have to wait for grandchildren to see that innocence again.
