I don’t know about the movie as a whole, but in terms of trailers, the Harry Potter franchise is going out with one heck of a bang. Ever since the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the Potter theme has given me chills time and time again and the trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 kicks off with just that.

After the unforgettable jingle fades out, we get a series of absolutely incredible visuals charged by a powerful score. If you were of the camp that felt The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was lacking in action, Part 2 certainly won’t disappoint. The CGI and battle sequences look to be downright spectacular from the vicious dragons and explosions to the epic battle scenes.

I was already eager as ever for July 15th, but now that I’ve gotten a taste of what’s to come, the end can’t come soon enough – and I mean that in a good way, of course. In an industry drowning in unwarranted sequels, the Harry Potter franchise is truly a beautiful rarity. As sad as it’ll be when there’s no more Potter to come, it’ll be nice to know that series never faltered and kept the bar high throughout and, based on this trailer, it looks as though that’ll certainly be the case.
