A new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II TV spot has surfaced online. The spot has TONS of amazing new clips that we’ve never seen before. Sadly the quality isn’t the best, but I’ll update when we have a clearer version. Watch it below, and thanks to Micah for the tip!

Universal have sent over a short video of their celebrations for the one year anniversary of the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter which was held yesterday at the park.
Also, don’t forget to check out the Universal Facebook which, as I said yesterday, has been updated with a Share Your Story tab as well as a tab showing some of the best moments from their first year.
Parade.com has made a quiz for fans to find out what Harry Potter character they are most like as part of their 30 Days of Harry Potter. The quiz comprises of 10 questions and may be taken at their website, here.
I took the quiz and I am 60% Harry Potter, who are you?!
The LA Times Hero Complex blog has posted a new interview with Daniel Radcliffe where he talks about the end of the Potter series and even about Pottermore (though he knows nothing about it). Read the full interview here!
Radcliffe has possessed — and been possessed by – the role of Potter for half his life, and right now he’s experiencing an intense jumble of emotions. ”It is bizarre; we’ve been talking about it for so long, and now it’s finally here.”

“Not particularly. I think that would be a bit odd [to play Harry again in the future],” said the actor, who celebrates his 22nd birthday the week after the eighth film opens. “I’d be very skeptical about that. First of all, I don’t think that she will” write another Potter installment, “and second of all, oh, I don’t know, the idea of going back to something after 10 or 20 years? At that point, I will have worked 20 years to establish a career outside of it, and at that point to go back to it would feel a little self-defeating.”
Perhaps, but Radcliffe is already wise enough to know that you can never really say never. There may be some magic moment when someone offers him a magic wand and the perfect script. “I could feel completely different at that time, but at this moment, it feels like it would be strange and not the way it would or should go.”
Universal have emailed this afternoon with news about the One-Year Anniversary celebration for the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park! They sent over a press release that you can read in its entirety on this page as well as an image that you can see in the gallery. The Universal Facebook page has also been updated with a “Share Your Story” tab where fans can share their stories from the theme park, or explain why they would like to attend. If you submit a story (and live in the US) you will also be entered into a contest to win a trip to Universal in the fall, more details on this may be read in the press release.
Universal Orlando commemorated the anniversary at 9:23 a.m. – the exact time The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened on June 18, 2010. After taking part in a countdown led by the Hogwarts Express conductor, guests and team members celebrated in the streets of Hogsmeade while “snow” confetti and gold streamers fell from the sky. Guests also enjoyed complimentary Butterbeer, cauldron cakes and Chocolate Frogs.
“We’re so excited to celebrate this milestone with our guests,” said Bill Davis, president of Universal Orlando Resort. “It’s been an incredible year for us and our guests, and we look forward to creating more exciting memories with them in the years to come.”
