"It All Ends 7.15"
— Official tagline
is the second instalment of a two-part film based on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling, and the final film in the Harry Potter series.
David Yates, who directed the preceding two films, directed both parts, while Steve Kloves returned to script. The first part was released internationally on 18 November 2010 and the following day in the United Kingdom and the United States, with the second released on 13 July 2011. Production of the two films occurred concurrently, and treated as if it were one film. The idea to split the films had been around since the middle of 2007, but only really came into serious consideration after producer David Heyman was able to talk to writer Steve Kloves when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended and Heyman had Rowling's approval.
On 12 March 2008, Warner Bros. additionally confirmed that the film would be split into two, to do justice to the book. David Yates, director of Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince will return to direct and Steve Kloves is going to write the screenplay. According to Warner Bros. executive Alan F. Horn, it will allow "an extra hour and a half to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas in the amazing story." Heyman described the workings behind the split: "Deathly Hallows is so rich, the story so dense and there is so much that is resolved that, after discussing it with Rowling, we came to the conclusion that two parts were needed." Kloves was not able to start work on the script until the WGA strike ended.
Before David Yates was officially chosen to direct the film, others had expressed an interest in the job. Alfonso Cuarón, director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, had said that he would be "tempted" to return to direct. Guillermo del Toro, who passed on Prisoner of Azkaban, had expressed interest in directing Deathly Hallows, but an increased workload ruled him out of the project.
After the events of the previous film, part 2 begins with Lord Voldemort stealing the Elder Wand from Albus Dumbledore's tomb and shooting a large bolt of lightning into the sky. It then cuts to Hogwarts which is no longer a safe place to stay, but a shadowy concentration camp surrounded by Dementors with the students being marched through the Entrance Courtyard. Severus Snape, now Headmaster, stands in the top of the Quad Battlements and watches the students with a blank expression.
At Shell Cottage, Harry Potter sits in front of Dobby's grave after the latter's funeral, gazing into the Two-way mirror. He asks Griphook why Bellatrix Lestrange thinks the Sword of Gryffindor is in her vault at Gringotts. Griphook reveals that there is a fake sword in the vault (something he spotted but which Bellatrix is not aware of), and Harry suspects there is a Horcrux in the vault due to Bellatrix's violent reaction upon suspecting they had been inside. Harry, Ron and Hermione strike a deal with Griphook: the goblin will get them to Bellatrix's vault to find the Horcrux in exchange for the Sword of Gryffindor, a bargain to which the trio reluctantly agree despite the fact it will leave them without a way to destroy the remaining Horcruxes.
Harry then questions Garrick Ollivander, who examines and identifies the stolen wands of Bellatrix Lestrange and Draco Malfoy. He cautions Harry about Bellatrix's wand, as it is "unyielding", and advises him to treat it carefully. With Draco's wand however, Ollivander states that Harry won it from Draco and its allegiance changed to him. Harry then asks him if he knows about the Deathly Hallows and Ollivander claims he does not think they exist, although Harry knows he has told Voldemort about the Elder Wand through his connection. After Harry tells Ollivander that Voldemort has acquired the Elder Wand, the latter warns Harry that he really doesn't stand a chance in defeating Voldemort if what he has heard is true.
With Harry and Griphook under the Invisibility Cloak, Hermione disguised as Bellatrix and Ron as a foreign wizard with bushy facial hair, the trio and Griphook Apparate to Gringotts. During the first phase of the mission, Harry and Ron are forced to use the Imperius Curse on Bogrod to cover up Hermione's unsuccessful impersonation of Bellatrix. They manage to get into the vault despite their disguises being removed by The Thief's Downfall and find Helga Hufflepuff's Cup, the Horcrux, but set off the Gemino curse, causing everything they touch to multiply exponentially. Griphook takes the sword from them after they get the cup, saying that he never said he would help them get out, but only in. He flees the vault and calls security; the trio are almost crushed by the gold and captured, but Hermione gets them to jump on the back of a dragon kept as a security measure. Setting the dragon free, it wreaks havoc as it kills several goblins, including Bogrod, who is still under the control of Ron's Imperius Curse. The dragon crashes through the roof and flies off with the trio on its back. After jumping off the dragon into a lake, Harry has a vision of Voldemort furiously killing Griphook and many other Gringotts employees and personnel at Malfoy Manor for allowing his Horcrux to get stolen. Choosing to keep Nagini by his side, he summons his followers and orders them to invade Hogwarts to ensure the Horcrux he has hidden there is still safe.
Having sensed Voldemort thinking of his Horcrux and Hogwarts through their connection, Harry tells Ron and Hermione that they have to go there and destroy it before Voldemort can get to it, adding that Voldemort seems to be getting more fragile and afraid with each Horcrux destroyed. They Apparate to Hogsmeade, but immediately trigger Caterwauling alarms set up by Death Eaters, who were waiting for Harry. The trio are almost captured, but Aberforth Dumbledore gets them safely into his home and berates them for coming to the village. Harry discovers that it was Aberforth who has been watching them through the mirror shard and the one who sent Dobby to rescue them after seeing the two-way mirror hung up on the wall. Aberforth provides them with food and advises them to give up on their mission, go into hiding and save themselves. Harry said that he trusts Albus Dumbledore's judgement that the task has to be seen through no matter what, but Aberforth insists that Albus had left them a suicide mission and it was hopeless. After Harry insists on finishing what he has started, Aberforth summons Neville Longbottom through a secret passage behind Ariana's portrait to bring them into Hogwarts. Bruised and beaten by the Death Eaters of the staff, Neville and most of the students have been hiding in the Room of Requirement all year. They welcome Harry in with tremendous applause and jump at the idea of helping Harry finish Voldemort, but Harry still doesn't know what the remaining Horcruxes look like or where they are. After saying that one of them may be connected to Ravenclaw, Luna Lovegood suggests that Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem might be the one, but Cho Chang notes that no one alive today has seen it. Ginny Weasley comes forward and after gazing at Harry for a moment, she tells everyone that Snape is now aware of Harry's break in and wanted everyone in the Great Hall.
In the Hall, Snape orders anyone who may hold information regarding Harry's location to tell him immediately or face punishment. Harry then reveals himself after hiding within the crowd as a student and rebukes Snape for standing where Dumbledore once stood as Headmaster, ordering him to tell the students the truth of how he betrayed and killed Dumbledore as Order of the Phoenix members enter the Great Hall. Snape draws his wand in anger, but Minerva McGonagall steps in to defend Harry. Snape and McGonagall face each other off for a moment, with McGonagall relentlessly firing curses that Snape noticeably deflects at the Carrow siblings, effectively knocking them out. Snape is then forced to Apparate, leaving McGonagall behind declaring him to be a coward. Voldemort then amplifies his voice so everyone inside the castle can hear him and tells them to give Harry up in exchange for their lives. Pansy Parkinson suddenly yells for them to grab him, but Ginny and other members of Dumbledore's Army and the Order surround Harry to reassure him that they are on his side.
Pre-production
Pre-production began on January 26, 2009, and filming began on February 19, 2009 at Leavesden Film Studios, where the previous six films had been shot, and Pinewood Studios. Eduardo Serra is the cinematographer. Yates said that the film will be shot "with loads of hand-held cameras. I want to shake things up every time I go into this world. I like experimenting as we go along." Filming is reportedly over, ending the decade long of filming for the cast. During production at Leavesden, Radcliffe's stunt double David Holmes suffered a serious spinal injury during filming of an aerial sequence. Holmes fell to the ground following an explosion which was part of the stunt. It is probable that the aerial sequence and explosion is the Battle of the Seven Potters. This left Holmes paralysed from the waist down and it is reported he will be unable to ever walk again.
Shooting schedule
David Heyman gave additional details on the filming schedule on the two films: Test shots were done on January 26, 2009 as Emma Watson revealed on her Official Website. Unfortunately, just days later it was reported that a stunt double for Daniel Radcliffe was seriously injured while testing an explosion scene. Filming for both parts started officially on February 15, 2009 and ended on June 12, 2010. Several months after primary filming concluded, most of the epilogue was re-shot. As explained by David Yates in the November 2011 Blu-ray release of the film, it was determined that the make-up used for the first version of the epilogue made the lead characters look too rough (in another commentary on the Blu-ray, Rupert Grint says his original make-up made him look like Donald Trump, it was noted on various websites when photos emerged of the filming of the original version that the ageing make-up was particularly unattractive). The reshoot took place at Christmas 2010, but instead of shooting on location at King's Cross, as was the case with the original version of the epilogue, the station was recreated at Leavesden. The 2011 Blu-ray does not include the original version of the epilogue among its deleted scenes, but behind-the-scenes footage of the original version is included in the Blu-ray "Maximum Movie Mode" feature.
Filming on location
•On April 21, 2009, photos of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) with a tent camped in an open field along with the Deathly Hallows staff and crew have been circling around the web. The report says that it was shot in Scotland. •On the same day, The-Leaky-Cauldron.org first reported that location filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been set in Piccadilly Circus and Shaftesbury Avenue portion of London, England. Hundreds of photos of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint including the crew & staff & 200+ extras for the film production has been released on the net during shooting hours from midnight to 6 a.m. and on the next day, April 22. •On April 22, BBC News reported that Deathly Hallows filming on the coastline of Wales will take place from 11th to 15th May 2009 on Freshwater West beach of the Pembrokeshire National Park where the scenes for Shell Cottage are said to be shot. •On 24 April, The T-L-C website released the first photos of the Shell Cottage while under construction on the coastline in the Pembrokeshire area of Wales. •Various pictures can be seen of the cast of HP-DH filming scenes from the film on this Site. These are the Shell Cottage scenes, most likely. •They started shooting the forest scenes at Swinley Forest on 10 June 2009. •Numerous photos of the main casts including pictures of Sophie Thompson (Mafalda Hopkirk), David O'Hara (Albert Runcorn), and Steffan Rhodri (Reg Cattermole) and the set reports from Deathly Hallows filming in Whitehall, London have emerged on-line since 28 June 2009, which appear to be the scene in which Harry, Hermione and Ron infiltrated the Ministry of Magic to obtain the real Horcrux locket from Dolores Umbridge. •Stunt sequences for Deathly Hallows were shot Thursday (July 23) and Friday night (July 24) in Dartford Tunnel in Kent, England, with Harry and Hagrid's doubles (Daniel Radcliffe and Robbie Coltrane were not filming) driving against the traffic on Sirius's motorcycle. This scene follows the Seven Potters escapade in Privet Drive; Harry's double is also noted to be pointing his wand at an unknown enemy. Photos from the location shoot have emerged online since 27th July, 2009. •According to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, which is hosting a Harry Potter Exhibition, some of David Thewlis' costumes were sent to the UK because Thewlis will need to wear them for the wedding scenes. This filming began on August 10, 2009.
In November 2010, it was announced that Alexandre Desplat, who composed the score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, would compose the score for the film. On 29 May 2011, it was announced that the score for Part 2 was completed.

The Wandmaker/Shell Cottage
•In the books, it is implied that Bill and Fleur purchased Shell Cottage after they got married. In the film, Bill mentions the cottage belonged to an aunt of the Weasley family. •Mr Ollivander is familiar with the Deathly Hallows, while in the book, he does not understand what the term means. •Though Ollivander does mention that Harry doesn't stand a chance if Voldemort has the Elder Wand, he does not seem to admire Voldemort as much as he did in the book. •In the book, Harry shows Ollivander his broken wand and asks if he can fix it. Ollivander tells him it cannot be fixed, and Harry asks him to identify Bellatrix's wand and Draco's wand. Then, Ron has Ollivander examine Peter Pettigrew's wand to see if it can be used. In the film, Harry does not show him his broken wand, only having him identify the two intact wands he brought, with no mention of Pettigrew's wand made whatsoever. •Ollivander isn't shown leaving Shell Cottage. •Ollivander doesn't send Luna a new wand though it is possible she received it after the trio left. •In the book Bill Weasley tells Harry why goblins don't trust wizards. This does not happen in the film, although it is apparent when Griphook asks the trio how they came by the Sword of Gryffindor, to which Harry replies it came to them at their moment of need and that they didn't steal it. •Lupin doesn't come to Shell Cottage, which can be confusing because Harry was never told about his son but mentions it later in the film. Presumably, Remus had told him off screen during the battle. •Hermione does not talk about Bellatrix torturing her and also you can see a scar on Hermione's neck from Bellatrix. (Indeed, despite being a major part of the finale of Part 1, this is never referenced again in Part 2).
Gringotts
•Hermione's voice does not change when she uses the Polyjuice Potion to become Bellatrix Lestrange (this happens with the Polyjuice Potion consistently in the films (Except when Bartemius Crouch Junior went under disguise as Mad-Eye, though this was most likely done to keep the mystery of him actually being Barty Crouch Jnr), presumably for the sake of sparing the audience confusion). •The whole incident with Travers and the bloody beggar isn't displayed due to timing. •Hermione didn't use the Cushioning Charm when the trio, Griphook and Bogrod fell; instead she used Arresto Momentum. Also in the book, the cart flipped over but in the film the seats pull out from under them, causing them to fall. •In the book, the items in the Lestrange's vault are under the effect of the Gemino and Flagrante curses, thus, when touched, they multiply exponentially and sear burning hot. In the film, the treasure only has the Gemino curse. Ironically, shortly afterwards the trio is seen putting essence of Dittany on their hands. Although their hands could have just been cut from the pressure of the many items that were trying to crush them. It is mentioned in the video game adaptation that the Flagrante curse has been placed on the treasure. •Hermione comes up with the idea of releasing the dragon and does so, not Harry. •In the film, Bogrod is killed by the dragon while still under Ron's Imperius curse. In the book, he is last mentioned when Ron and Hermione are struggling to keep him from falling under the tide of the vault's multiplying treasure, with nothing said of his fate thereafter. •In the book, Griphook snatches the sword from the trio and departs the vault. In the film, Griphook grabs the cup and demands Harry give him the sword in exchange; when Griphook is given the sword, he is true to his word by throwing the cup back to them before departing and betraying them. •Instead of Hermione using Levicorpus on Harry so he could reach the Horcrux, Harry fights his way through the Gemino-cursed treasure and reaches for the Horcrux himself.
The Final Hiding Place/The Missing Mirror/The Lost Diadem
•Snape and Death Eaters Alecto and Amycus Carrow watch the Hogwarts students marching across the Entrance Courtyard and the Grand Staircase. •Harry, through his connection to Voldemort, sees the Hogwarts Castle and Helena Ravenclaw, making Harry realise that Ravenclaw is connected to one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. •When Harry, Ron and Hermione enter Hogsmeade, they don't go under the Invisibility Cloak and the Death Eaters don't send Dementors; instead the trio run across a locked gate and Aberforth brings them inside the Hog's Head. •Harry tells Aberforth about the mission that Dumbledore had assigned to him, whereas in the books Harry kept the secret of hunting Horcruxes to himself, Ron and Hermione as per Dumbledore's explicit instructions. Aberforth also already has knowledge of the Horcruxes. •Aberforth doesn't tell Harry about his back-story with Albus and Ariana, and Dumbledore's back-story is never even discussed in the film (therefore leaving some of the hints left during the wedding sequence in Part I unresolved). However, Aberforth does mention that Ariana was one thing that Albus "sacrificed" in his quest for power, indicating that this sub-plot was present in some form in the original script. •Snape and the Carrows summon all the students to the Great Hall in the film. In the book, when Alecto Carrow sees Harry in the Ravenclaw common room, she summons her brother and Snape through the Dark Mark •In the book, when Harry, Hermione, and Ron enter the Room of Requirement, they are all engulfed, hugged, pounded on the back, their hair ruffled, and their hands shaken. Luna, Dean, Fred, George, Lee Jordan, Ginny, and Cho Chang come in later. In the film, Luna, Dean, Lee, and Cho are already there among the other DA members, and only Harry is seen hugging some of the students, including Dean, Cho and Ron's former girlfriend, Lavender Brown. Ginny later arrives to tell them that Snape is aware of Harry's appearance in Hogsmeade, and is stunned to see Harry again. Ron then complains that she didn't even acknowledge him, despite being her brother, to which Seamus says she has plenty of brothers, but only one Harry. Ron tells Seamus to shut up. Fred and George do not appear in this scene. •In the book, Terry Boot explains what a diadem is, in the film, Cho explains a diadem to the trio and points out to Luna Lovegood that the diadem is lost, whereas Michael Corner does this in the book. •In the book, Cho offers to take Harry to the Ravenclaw Common room to show Harry what the diadem looks like, which Ginny then insists that Luna show him there. Harry does not go to the Ravenclaw Common room in the film. After Snape flees, Harry starts to head up towards the Ravenclaw Common room, but Luna goes after him and reminds him that "no one alive has seen the diadem" and they need to talk to someone who is dead. She then takes Harry to see Helena Ravenclaw. Moreover, in the film, Harry has developed a magical sense of each Horcrux (possibly a connection due to the Horcrux in his scar) and therefore does not need to see the Diadem. •In the scene in which the Grey Lady tells Harry where to find the Ravenclaw Diadem, Helena's back-story of stealing the diadem from her mother, her history with the Bloody Baron, Rowena sending the Baron after her, and the Baron eventually killing Helena and then committing suicide, is never explained. Harry seems to already know that the Grey Lady's real name is Helena Ravenclaw, implying that her history is already well-known to Hogwarts students, while in the book, it is implied that no-one, or at least very few, students are aware of this fact. Rather than merely regretful and saddened by the Diadem's conversion into a Horcrux, Helena appears greatly offended and angered by this fact, which is evident when she shouts to Harry, "I know who he is! I know what he's done! He defiled it with Dark Magic!" •In the book, after talking to Helena, Harry encounters Hagrid and Fang, who had been sent crashing in through a nearby window by Grawp. They then set to look for Hermione and Ron, who they find having just returned from the Chamber of Secrets, which they tell Harry about Ron's idea when asked where they've been. Harry does not see Hagrid after talking to Helena in the film, and Ron and Hermione's whereabouts are not of concern, as they told him of Ron's idea before heading to the Chamber.
