Behold, my muggle friends, it’s the new Harry Potter trailer for Deathly Hallows, Part Deux.

Watching this makes me realize how fast I zipped through the last book—I don’t remember Harry giving Voldemort a cliff-diving death hug. I’m going to have to do some rereading before July 15 rolls around. Also, of Harry note: adorable comics by Lucy Knisley condensing the first four books. So cute.

Mercury copy chief and appreciator of the most sophisticated form of comedy: PUNS!

  1. Yayyyyy!!!! I refused to see Part One because I am going to spend a day watching Part One IMMEDIATELY followed by Part Two in July. For my 34th birthday. Oh yeah. And then I’m going to ride the tram b/c I haven’t yet and I like transportation. (for friends and family who could probably identify me know — I’m on lunch break!)

  2. ***SPOILERZ for non-book readers***
    While the “Hey Tom, let’s do the magic base jump of doom together” scene didn’t happen in the book (nor did the shooting magic pastel wand goo at each other scene) I’m happy as hell they put it in the movie. In the book, he really only has one duel with Voldy and that ends in with one shot each. It was satisfying enough on the page, but I could see how it might leave film audiences wanting after 7 movies of build-up.

    The other good news is that it looks like Nevile doesn’t have his moment stolen from him by Harry. I saw a still of him (surprisingly buffed out) holding a bloody Sword of Griffindor amidst the rubble of Hogwarts.
