Latest 'Deathly Hallows - Part 2' banner may scare you while driving

'Deathly Hallows - Part 2' runtime posted online, film is shortest of the eight

An Australian IMAX website has the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 runtime listed on their website: 125 minutes.
That means the film is the shortest of all eight.  Below is a list of how they all stack up.
Having seen a test screening two months ago, I can assure you that a 2 hour Potter film is nothing to be worried about.  The film moves with such high energy that you'll feel plenty satisfied by the time the credits roll.

- Sorcerer's Stone: 152 minutes
- Chamber of Secrets: 161 minutes
- Prisoner of Azkaban: 141 minutes
- Goblet of Fire: 157 minutes
- Order of the Phoenix: 138 minutes
- Half-Blood Prince: 153 minutes
- Deathly Hallows, Part 1: 147 minutes
- Deathly Hallows, Part 2: 125 minutes

I once again ask your forgiveness for not posting in a while...

Emma Watson presents exclusive clip from 'Deathly Hallows - Part 2' at MTV Movie Awards

Earlier this evening, Emma Watson presented an exclusive clip from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 at the MTV Movie Awards.
It featured a look at Harry walking towards Voldemort in the forest. Voldemort is saying to himself he thought Harry would come, and there is a distraught Bellatrix in the background. Harry arrives and you see Hagrid tied up. Voldemort then actually hits Harry with Avada Kedavra.
Additionally, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) was chosen for best villian

Congratulations Tom!!
Thanks Mugglenet for this info.

IGN releases 'Deathly Hallows - Part 2' video game preview, new photos

IGN has released a preview of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 video game.
Fans who were upset with random side missions in Part 1 won't have to worry about that this time around. This game follows the movie closely and also let's you play from other character's perspectives.
"Best of all, there's a new cover feature tied to Harry's ability to Apparate (what Muggles call teleporting). Stuck in the line of fire? You'll be able to get yourself out of there by Apparating into cover both in front of and behind you."
There is also a major change made to how spells will be cast. Check out some new photos below:
Hermione Battle | Harry vs. Voldemort | McGonagall and Statues
Harry Battle | Battle of Hogwarts | Students vs. Death Eaters

Empire talks 'Deathly Hallows - Part 2' with Rupert Grint and Tom Felton

Recent cast interviews with Empire Magazine are being released as a follow-up to their special Harry Potter "run-up to the release" events.
In this video, Tom talks about how he is anxiously awaiting to see the final movie as this one is going to have the epic battle scenes. Also, during the interview with Empire, Tom was asked if he had a favorite scene during the filming process. He said:
"The end battle is obviously the fight; everyone was looking forward to it and it was just months and months of ripping each other's heads off. Personally I was excited about the nineteen years later bit. I'm so grateful that Jo wrote me in that part, because I can't wait to see all of us when we're 40."
In this video with Rupert, he talks about all of the action taking place at Hogwarts during the final battle. During his interview, Rupert was also asked what it was like shooting the final battle scene. He said:
"These sets, they did actually destroy them. The rubble you see is actually the set falling apart. It's quite weird seeing all these sets that I've grown up in as piles of rubble, there's something strange about that. But it's going to be amazing."
Later on this week, Empire will also be releasing interviews with James and Oliver Phelps.
