On the heels of yesterday’s in-your-face poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Warner Bros. has released yet another close-up poster. This time, the poster features Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and so it begins that Deathly Hallows – Part 2 will follow the advertising pattern of the previous Harry Potter films and give a banner to every single freaking character. The poster may proclaim “It All Ends”, but I don’t think that’s referring to the infinite stream of upcoming character posters.
In a related fake story, The Onion News Network reports that Warner Bros., unable to part with their beloved franchise, will break the final minutes of Deathly Hallows – Part 2 into its own film franchise. The film’s fake producer also wants to explore new movies that will examine what background characters are up to and then more films exploring what their brooms are up to. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 opens in 3D on July 15th.
Here’s the official synopsis for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2:
