If you’re prone to sentimentality/melodrama, like I am, you’ll probably need some tissues or something.
Movie and celebrity magazine ‘Entertainment Weekly’ will be releasing a super bumper-issue celebrating the end of the “Harry Potter” phenomena.

A teaser press release has been released with a few interview snippets from the cast and a handful of images have been released, including: the nostaliga-inducing cover featuring a very young Harry Potter; an exclusive photoshoot showcasing the Trio’s “playfulness and blossoming adulthood”; plus two new behind-the-scenes photos, one from “Deathly Hallows: Part 1″ featuring Emma and David Yates discussing a scene and the other from “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ featuring Emma relaxing on the set at King’s Cross Station.

The creators of the $2 billion-grossing Harry Potter movies may be laughing all the way to Gringotts Bank, but the success of the films wasn’t always such a sure thing. “If they had cast American actors or put cheerleaders at Hogwarts — and all these hideous ideas were indeed being pitched and discussed at the time – Harry Potter would have been one movie, not a series,” says Chris Columbus, director of the first two films in the most lucrative movie series in Hollywood history. “It would have just died.”
“I have spent more of my life being someone else than I have being myself,” says Watson. The 21-year-old remembers how she used to exasperate the crew at Leavesden Studios by wandering around when she wasn’t shooting. “There was an orchard, a line of apple trees, on one side of the grounds. I would go down and walk around there. Those poor ADs! They must have had nervous breakdowns whenever I would disappear.”
Three new videos have emerged online to promote “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″. Of the three clips, one (the featurette on the Gringotts Break-In scene) features EXTENSIVE spoilers and movie clips, while the others serve as aides to assist viewers into remembering what happened in the first “Deathly Hallows” movie. The new videos include: a new look at the mysterious Horcruxes and their role in the final movie; a featurette entitled ‘Where We Left Off‘ which looks at the events leading up to “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″; and the gloriously spoilerific ‘Gringotts and Goblins‘ featurette. All the videos include new interviews with the cast and crew, as well as new clips from the new movie.
