Harry Potter and the Last Final End (Really This Time, We Mean It)
Remember how I always said that the Harry Potter movies had bafflingly awesome trailers? Well, I think I can add a bafflingly awesome documentary to that: “When Harry Left Hogwarts” is a 45-minute documentary which is going to be exclusively on the Target 4-disc Blu-ray release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. As you can see from the trailer, it’s… well, it’s bafflingly awesome. Getting Daniel Radcliffe and the kids to worry about whether their careers are over, having Emma Thompson and other adult actors wonder how much the Potter franchise has fucked the child actors up, and then just interviewing some of the other extras who happened to make their way into the movie… well, it’s all just extremely honest and totally fascinating to me. Honestly, I’d rather watch this than the actual movie. (Via The Mary Sue)
