Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part-2 Trailer

The Film Begins with Deep in the Dark Woods, Lord Volemort Breaks Open dumbledore's Tomb and Steals the Elder Wand and Strikes the Main Titles (Used from Trailer)

Harry is devastated by Dobby's death, and when he buries him he does so by hand, without using magic. When they all come out to lay Dobby to rest, they thank him for saving their lives.

“So there is this story about a kid, and he’s all like, magic and stuff!” When J.K. Rowling first uttered those words to her prospective publisher (although probably a bit more eloquent sounding), there is no way they could have possibly known that the seven series of book would—in its own small way—change the world.

Now 16 years later, the books have become a firm part of our pop-culture, and both Rowling and her protagonist are household names. But all good things must come to an end as they say, and this summer, Harry Potter will conclude it memorable run when the eighth and final movie concludes the adaptation of the seven books.

Harry Potter and the Three Hour Walk

Harry Potter fans rejoice! Dust off your broomsticks, start ironing that cloak, thrust your wands into the air and unite as one - the magic is returning to the UK!

After bitter disappointment and eventual anger when studio bosses plumped for Orlando, Florida to be the home of the ‘Wizarding World' Harry Potter theme park in 2010, home-grown fans of the successful movies (not to mention the books) can finally sleep easy now that he is returning to our shores after the films are done and dusted.

Today Warner Bros., the movie giants behind the hugely successful franchise, have announced that they are to open a brand new Harry Potter attraction in the UK.

Well, that's the good news. Further investigation reveals the attraction will consist of a 3 hour potter around buildings and sets that were used in the film. Based in the glitzy region of Leavesden (just outside Watford) it's a far cry from the $200 million (£135 million) adventure world erected in the States with roller-coasters, a replica Hogwarts and a host of thrilling activities.

Aimed at the more die-hard of Potter fans, Leavesden will feature authentic sets, costumes, animatronics, props and effects used in the production of all eight ‘Harry Potter' movies. The tour will showcase the British artistry, technology and talent that went into bringing the beloved film series to life.

Due to open its magical doors in the spring next year, to coincide with the London Olympics tourist trade, there is still a long wait for eager Potter fans.

Harry Potter Location in UK

To celebrate the UK release of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1' on 19 November 2010, I put together ten of favourite Harry Potter filming locations. The much-loved teen wizard has appeared at various places all over Britain so jump on your broomstick and discover the magic…

Glenfinnan Viaduct, Scotland
On its way to Hogwarts, in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' (2002), the flying Ford Anglia lands on Glenfinnan Viaduct, on the West Highland line between Fort William and Mallaig in Scotland. There’s a regular diesel service, but if you want to cross the viaduct in a Hogwart's Express-style steam locomotive, West Coast Railways run the Jacobite Steam Train during the summer season (May to October).

Glencoe, Scotland
Push further into Scotland to see Glencoe where the dramatic landscapes around Hogwarts were filmed. You'll recognise the Steall Falls at Glen Nevis from the Tri-Wizard Tournament in the 'Goblet of Fire' (2005). The rugged beauty and natural drama of the Scottish highlands are the perfect background for the first two Harry Potter films - where the Quidditch matches were filmed against the backdrop of Glen Nevis (also used for 'Braveheart', 'Rob Roy' and 'Highlander II').

Bodleian Library, Oxford, England
Oxford University’s famous Bodleian Library starred in three of the Harry Potter films. The medieval Duke Humfrey's Library was used as the Hogwarts library and the elaborately vaulted Divinity School became Hogwart’s infirmary. Tour this historic place of learning to see where Oscar Wilde, C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien once studied.

Durham Cathedral, England
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was realised on film in a bewildering number of locations throughout the UK. One of the most spectacular is Durham Cathedral, one of the UK’s finest Norman buildings. Durham’s elegant cloisters became the snow-covered quadrangle, where Harry sets the owl flying in the first film and is also the scene of Ron’s slug vomiting in ‘The Chamber of Secrets’. The cathedral chapter house is the venue for Professor McGonagall’s class teaching the young wizards to turn animals into water goblets.

Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, England
Grab your broomstick and head to Alnwick Castle, the site of Madame Hooch’s flying lesson in the first film. Discover 700 years of history, spectacular gardens with water sculptures and one of the world’s largest treehouses. Alnwick Castle was also used in 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' (1991) and 'Elizabeth' (1997).

Leadenhall Market, London, England
The entrance to the wizard’s pub, 'the Leaky Cauldron', is an optician in Bull’s Head Passage in Leadenhall Market in the City of London. Leadenhall is a superb example of a Victorian covered market with an ornate painted roof.

Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire, Wales
One of Wales’ top surfing beaches, this stretch of golden sand was chosen as a location for Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour‘s Shell Cottage in the latest instalment of the franchise. It’s no stranger to film crews and has also served in Ridley Scott’s 'Robin Hood' (2010) as the backdrop to the climactic battle with the French.

King’s Cross Station, London, England
The Hogwarts Express departs from ‘Platform 9 ¾’ of King’s Cross Station, which is actually the arched wall between Platforms 4 and 5. If that seems short on magic, head towards the entrance to Platforms 9, 10 and 11 on the west side of the station. There you’ll find a trolley disappearing into the magical realm through a wall marked ‘Platform 9 ¾’.Outside you’ll see the Neo-Gothic facade of St Pancras where the Weasleys’ magical Ford Anglia takes off in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' (2002).

Reptile House, London Zoo, England
London Zoo's Reptile House is where Harry first discovers his gift for talking with snakes in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone' (2001). If you fancy chatting to snakes, or any other animals for that matter, London Zoo's the place.

Gloucester Cathedral, England
If you scare easily, then be careful if you visit the Cathedral of Gloucester, which has been a place of worship for over 1,300 years. While you may not meet Nearly Headless Nick or Moaning Myrtle in these halls, an ancient wooden door leads down to the old crypt, said to be haunted by monks from the old Gloucester monastery. Scenes from the first two films were shot here including the shots of Harry and Ron hiding from the troll.
