There was a bit of a question as to whether or not Warner Bros. would mount an awards season campaign for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.  On the one hand, it's the culmination of a singular series that both honored it source material, but eventually became a great work of artistic achievement in its own right.  However, the franchise has moved through different directors, the final film put an emphasis on action, and it's technically half a movie.  If the Academy stuck to its ten Best Picture nominations rule of the last few years, then it would have a better shot, but the new rule states that anywhere between five and ten movies can be nominated.

But Warner Bros. is going to give the boy wizard's final film a shot and they've released a 30-second "For Your Consideration" ad.  It's going to be an uphill battle, but if Warner Bros. can get Academy voters to remember how they honored the Lord of the Rings movies (both franchises are blockbuster action-fantasy-dramas), then Deathly Hallows – Part 2 may have a chance at a nod for the top prize.  Hit the jump to check out the FYC ad.
