The end is near: Harry, Hermione and Ron are back for the final gripping instalment Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2


The film that Harry Potter fans have been waiting for - and dreading - is approaching fast.

On July 15, the final instalment in the Harry Potter series will be released, bringing an end to the action-packed saga that has gripped the world for over 15 years since J.K. Rowling's first novel was released.

A sneak peek at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has been released, with a teaser trailer and the film's stars talking about what we can expect from the climactic film.

The first Deathly Hallows film broke an incredible five box office records in the UK when it was released in November.

It took in £18.3 million on its opening weekend in the UK and $125 million at the US box office. To date it has taken an estimated £404 million worldwide.

The final film will the see the much-anticipated battle between Harry Potter and his nemesis Lord Voldermort.

In the featurette, Daniel Radcliffe says: 'Something's got to give. Harry is aware that the floodgates are open and that he is going to have to be the one that deals with Voldermort.

'The reason they're on this journey is much bigger than any one of them. It has to come to a head at some point,' he says.

'This is it, really. This is the end of the line,' Rupert Grint, who plays Harry sidekick Ron Weasley, adds.

After spending months searching the country for Voldermort's horcruxes - the source of his power and immortality - in order to defeat, Harry and his friends will eventually return to Hogwarts for the final showdown.

The first Deathly Hallows ended with Harry, Hermione and Ron on a mission to find these objects, and becoming increasingly frustrated with their lack of progress.

While the last film was described as a something of a road trip film, concentrating on the complex emotions and relationships of Harry and his best friends, the final chapter will be all action.

'It ties up every single loose end of the whole saga. The scale of this one feels enormous,' Emma Watson promises. 'Your heart is going to race.'

In between quests for hidden horcruxes and duals with Lord Voldermort, Harry finds time for a little romance.
