The first part of the seventh and final Harry Potter novel, “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows,” screens Nov. 19 nationwide.
It will be the penultimate installment to the Harry Potter film franchise. A lot has happened since the end of the last movie. After the death of Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts and begin their hunt for “the boy who lived” (Daniel Radcliffe) and his two trustworthy companions Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). The magical trio commit truancy in order to seek and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes - dark magic objects used to attain immortality that are tying him to the realm of the living.
The book culminates with the battle at Hogwarts, but the movie has been divided into two parts, so audiences can assume they will have to wait until June 2011 to see the epic climax to the series. The directors and screenwriters promise audiences that Part One will not disappoint.
“It’s been an amazing year, working with so many talented and experienced people was a great pleasure for me. We have a lot to share with you guys and on behalf of entire cast and crew I can tell you that you’ll love it,” said Director David Yates in his last interview.
The main slogan, “Nowhere is safe,” appears on all the movie posters. Harry, Ron and Hermione must rely on one another more than ever before as dark forces descend upon them.
Fans should expect a lot of action and special effects. Most of the scenes were shot with hand-held camcorders on the streets of London, a couple of national parks and forests and the studio where all of the previous movies were shot. More than 500 people were involved in the production and they all say that this is going to be two and a half hours of a breathtaking story.
Fans are intrigued, tickets are already selling, cast and crew are getting ready for the premiere.
Nov. 19, mark this day on your calendars, fellow muggles. The countdown is officially on.
