The year of Potter comes to a close. Happy New Year to all! We love all our followers, all the Potter fans, and of course, the most amazing cast and crew that made these stories come to life on film. We can’t wait to see what 2012 has in store for the HP fandom!
don’t you ever wonder what will happen when it ends? how can we let go of the ones who we call friends? and i know it’s only a story but for so many, it’s more than that it’s a world all on its own where we want to put on that sorting hat
This is the final installment, on a scale of 1-10, how sad are you to be leaving? Matthew: 6 and a half. Rupert: Oh, definitely 9. Tom: Let’s go to..9. 9 on the sadness scale because we’re still a bit excited about it. Emma: I would say 10. A full on 10, absolutely! The other boys are like “6 and a half”! Emma: WHAT? One of them actually said he was relieved. Emma: NO!
“The amazing thing about Rupert is that he’s a very self-contained human being. It’s very rare that you see him get emotional. The minute the camera rolls, he just becomes this other thing and he has so much. I’m like, “Where does that come from?” I remember having to remind myself to keep acting because I just wanted to go, “You’re amazing! That was amazing!” I don’t know where he pulled it from.
“Warner Brothers are giving me a lot of input, I feel. I can’t lie to you, I am nervous about it. I think every writer who feels as I feel about their characters is going to be nervous. I’m both nervous and excited. If Warners make the film they are talking about making, I think it will be a great film.”
Like most important goodbyes, the second—and concluding—chapter of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” has been simultaneously anticipated and dreaded. But now it’s here, and all that matters is this: it’s wonderful. Epic and heartbreaking and just as grand as it needs to be.

If there’s a single, lingering regret, it’s simply this: everyone has done such a skillful job bringing this story to screen that somehow, eight films later, it all ends too soon. That’s no fault of Yates or Kloves; indeed, it’s a testament to the series’ enduring magic.
Fortunately, books and movies have a singular advantage over real life: no farewell has to last forever. And those who aren’t ready to let go can always return to the beginning, allowing Rowling’s extraordinary spell to wash over us as often as we’d like.
