Previewing the Ultimate Battle

Hold the presses! USA Today scored, and, more importantly, shared the first official image from the upcoming two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which opens next November.

The shot of features Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) in street clothes journeying, concerned look on their faces, toward the final showdown with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

“It’s going to feel very real. We’re going for a vérité approach,” director David Yates said. “Being away from Hogwarts, they’re like these three refugees on the run. They’re out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts.

“They don’t have a home to go to. We’re kind of pulling away from the magic a bit and bringing more reality to it.”

Sounds like this one’s gonna rock!
