Poster of the Week: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The poster of the week this week is Harry Potter 7's Deathly Hallows. I like how they went with a less is more approach on this one, not filling it to the brim with characters and names and all the rest. Just very simple, but very effective. Even the title is shortened to just 'HP 7.' And the 'Part 1, 2010, Part 2, 2011' tease which means at the end of part 1, you'll hear me in the back of the theatre go 'Nooooooooo!' because now I'll have to wait impatiently for the next.

If you've seen the trailer for the new Potter flick, then you've experienced the goosebumps getting goosebumps effect it has on you. This poster compliments it perfectly. 'It all ends here' on the top, with Hogwarts burning its ass off in the background. But what's that crack of sunshine behind the mountain there? Will someone get to Hogwarts in time? Could the tables turn for the good guys? Or is it too late? Who knows. I didn't read the book. But what this poster tells me is that shit's gonna go down in this movie and I'm going to be there on opening night to witness it.
