New HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 Banners; Watch The London Premiere HERE Thursday A.M.

“You’re a Wizard, Harry.”

Ten years ago, those four words signified the beginning of the extraordinary cinematic journey of a boy whose name became synonymous with magic: Harry Potter. Over the next decade, the film franchise that bears his name changed movie history while also changing the lives of its multi-generational ensemble cast and the filmmakers who devoted themselves to bringing J.K. Rowling’s seven-volume literary masterpiece to the screen. Collectively, the Harry Potter movies were an unprecedented undertaking for all involved—no other motion picture series had ever followed a linear story surrounding the same characters over the course of eight full-length features.

Join WAMG here tomorrow for the world red carpet premiere of the final Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film. We’ll be streaming LIVE the World Premiere of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS – PART 2 in London!

This will be the first red carpet film premiere event in Trafalgar Square, the instantly recognizable landmark providing the iconic backdrop for one of the biggest film premieres to ever take place in the capital.

The cast, filmmakers and guests attending the final Harry Potter premiere will begin the night on the red carpet in Trafalgar Square with the world’s media in attendance. Special areas will be reserved within the square for fans and competition winners from all over the world to see the actors and creators of some of the most beloved characters of all time. Cast and guests will then make their way to Leicester Square’s cinemas to watch the film

In front of the LIVE premiere from London, Warner Bros. has released 4 new banners to celebrate the release of the last chapter of the film.

At the end of their decade-long journey, the cast and filmmakers all share a sense of gratitude and pride as they bring the historic film series to a close.

David Barron recalls, “I thought I was prepared because we knew the day was coming for so long, but it was surprisingly moving for all of us. Everybody put so much of themselves into these movies, and on this one we all shared the added goal of making it a fitting finale to the series.”

“Part of one’s job is to say goodbye,” Alan Rickman says. “There comes that time when it is right and proper to let it go; otherwise you can’t move on. And so the best thing one can say is that it all ended the right way.”

Rupert Grint offers, “The Harry Potter experience was an amazing time of my life, and something I’ll never forget. I’m so proud to have been a part of it.”

“How do I put into words what all of this has meant to me?” Emma Watson muses. “I don’t consider it over because it will always be a part of who I am, and I feel so blessed to have shared in it.”

Daniel Radcliffe reflects, “I know I’ll never see a frame of these films that I don’t connect immediately to a memory of a place or a time or a person. Even now I can’t fully express how important it’s been to me, but I can say it was a great time and it’s something I will never be able to recreate.”

David Yates agrees. “It’s really hard to contextualize it, except to say it’s been enormous fun—intense and very challenging at times, but never not fun. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world and I’m proud and happy to have seen it through to the end.”

“This was a wonderful collaboration,” J.K. Rowling shares. “I was proud to work and form lasting friendships with some immensely talented people. So the overall experience of the films for me has been truly outstanding.”

“I count myself extremely fortunate to have been part of Harry Potter, but none of us would have had this opportunity were it not for Jo Rowling and the world she so brilliantly created,” David Heyman concludes. “One of the things I love about the books is that the stories are timeless…and hopefully we’ve achieved that with the movies.”

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, reprising their roles as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The film’s ensemble cast also includes Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Matthew Lewis, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright.

The film was directed by David Yates, who also helmed the blockbusters “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.” David Heyman, the producer of all of the Harry Potter films, produced the final film, together with David Barron and J.K. Rowling. Screenwriter Steve Kloves adapted the screenplay, based on the book by J.K. Rowling. Lionel Wigram is the executive producer.

Behind the scenes, the creative team included director of photography Eduardo Serra, production designer Stuart Craig, editor Mark Day, visual effects supervisor Tim Burke, special effects supervisor John Richardson, and costume designer Jany Temime. The music is composed by Alexandre Desplat.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Heyday Films Production, a David Yates Film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” which marks the last installment in the most successful film franchise of all time.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” is the first Harry Potter film to be released in both 3D and 2D. Concurrently with its nationwide theatrical distribution, the film will be released in select IMAX® theatres.
