As everybody who’s anybody knows, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2″ opens this Friday. It’s the last installment in the film franchise and people are all chaotic and twirly about it — and there you are. You haven’t read the books and you haven’t seen the movies but all your friends are talking about it and dammit, you’re tired of feeling left-out.
Couple options here. You can either rent all the Potter flicks and call in sick for the next couple days so you’ll have SOME idea what’s going on, or you can just let the Fine Brothers sum it all up for you in seven minutes.
Then you’ll be able to ask that hottie in accounting to see the new movie with you on Friday night and feign the appropriate level of sadness that the whole saga is coming to a close. Chicks so dig a sensitive guy.
You’re welcome.
Fans have been camped out for days as they eagerly await the premiere of the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows Part II. They’ve come from Sweden, New Jersey, and all over the world to bid farewell to J.K. Rowlings’ team of wizards.
Watch the red carpet action now, live from London’s Trafalgar Square.
