Harry Potter and the Difficult BM

We here at Tableau Your Mind were trying to keep the Harry Potter stuff to a minimum, but:

Guest Blogger Gemma Fart-a-ton has got something to say!

Thanks, Tableau Your Mind.  So, I've seen a lot of Harry Potter posters around town, and there was something about Harry's face that didn't quite make sense. Instead of the stoic sadness that usually populates young Dan Radcliffe's visage, there was a new emotion. Was he angry, was he trying to be intense? Was he simply bored of shooting promo photos? 

But then it hit me suddenly, like a bolt of lightning (or like a curse that causes a lightning bolt scar). What Danny Raddy has crafted - brilliantly - on the billboards and posters for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is a character study of one man. 

One man who really has to poop.

Let's look at the photos and determine what Harry/Dan might be thinking, shall we?

Film Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

It still beats Apparition

The eighth film in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, starts off directly after the events of Part 1. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley go in search of the last Horcruxes, blindly following the orders of Albus Dumbledore, who has been dead for about a year. It's a bit ridiculous to summarize the events of the film, because fans of the book are undoubtedly familiar with most of the plot contained within the movie. And that's part of the fun. Audience members sit in anticipation, wondering, not what will happen, but how the events will play out. How will Molly Weasley's final confrontation with a particular Death Eater play out? How will director David Yates make the magical battles, which have historically been difficult to film, as exciting and epic as they are in the book? When and where will Neville strike? And how on earth is screenwriter Steve Kloves going to make Wandlore interesting?

Snape, Snape-ing it up

The film acts as a long goodbye. Almost every character gets a farewell, whether it's Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey staring out at the destroyed Hogwarts, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan fighting Death Eaters with verve, or Professor Trelawney (Emma Thompson) saying a quiet goodbye to one of her beloved students. Other characters get

Harry Potter and the Final Trailer

The final trailer has arrived for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and it really packs a punch. Even though the majority of the audience doesn't care about spoilers (since they pretty much know the plot) the trailer contains very few. Fans of the series might notice a dead character who has never been seen dead before (behind Harry, in a couple of frames), but other than that the trailer is more about an emotional journey.

Warner Brothers has stated that this is the final trailer for the film, even though there are bound to be loads more for the DVD release. Still, let's all take in the finality.
