We’re getting down to the last few days before the release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” In a way, it’s a relief, but it also means it’s the end of an era. Let’s get ready to pour some liquor on the ground in remembrance of the series.
But until that time, we have four new posters to talk about. These posters are all one-sheets showing Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) individually, wands in hand, ready for battle.
On the one hand, it’s nice to see the marketing campaign go blitz-tastic with the dark, grimy look of the movies’ posters and such, but also, I’ve seen posters with people simply standing and looking for ages now. However, they still look fairly dynamic even with the posters just showing standing and looking.
However, what makes the posters work for even a jaded “Harry Potter” fan like me is the huge “IT ALL ENDS” caption in the poster, bringing home the finality of the series and the realization that many “Harry Potter” fans are going to have to find another fandom to latch onto. Frankly, I can’t wait until “IT ALL ENDS.” I’ve been waiting for this last part of Movie Seven for a while, and I’ve been angry ever since the end of the first part of Movie Seven, when the movie ended right when the action was just getting underway.
