We’ve seen Harry, Hermoine, Ron, and Neville posters for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Now it’s time for He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named/Tom Riddle/Voldemort. This is a good opportunity for me to mention that I think the franchise missed an opportunity to give Voldemort the red snake eyes that he has in the book. Perhaps they felt Ralph Fiennes couldn’t be expressive enough without human eyes, perhaps it was too expensive, or maybe it just looked goofy when put on screen. But I’ve always been curious to the what-if. But he’s still missing his nose so that’s good enough, I suppose.
Hit the jump to check out a poster you’d never put on your wall. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 opens in 3D on July 15th.
Poster via Warner Bros’ Twitter feed.
Here’s the official synopsis for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2:
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” is the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. The much-anticipated motion picture event is the second of two full-length parts.
In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort.
It all ends here.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, reprising their roles as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The film’s ensemble cast also includes Helena Bonham Carter, Jim Broadbent, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Matthew Lewis, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright.
The film was directed by David Yates, who also helmed the blockbusters “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.” David Heyman, the producer of all of the Harry Potter films, produced the film, together with David Barron. Screenwriter Steve Kloves adapted the screenplay, based on the book by J.K. Rowling. Lionel Wigram is the executive producer.
Behind the scenes, the creative team was led by director of photography Eduardo Serra, production designer Stuart Craig, editor Mark Day, composer Alexandre Desplat, visual effects supervisor Tim Burke, and costume designer Jany Temime.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Heyday Films production, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which marks the last installment in the most successful film franchise of all time.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” will be released worldwide in theatres and IMAX, in 3D and 2D, beginning July 15, 2011.”

I believe he would have looked better with the red eyes they could have easily made that a dvd extra showing it to give a reason why cause they gotta have a reason right ?
I think I actually prefer his character poster from Part 1. To me he is more intimidating in that photo.
Is it just me or when you look up at voldemorts face and don’t focus on the text it kind of looks like it says ITALI ENDS
You’re totally right!
I actually like this one and all the others to part 2 (while i’ve always hated the posters to all the other movies) matt’s wrong – i’d actually hang this on my wall
The first one had a great poster, one of the last of it’s kind. But all subsequint ones have been a joke, and a boring joke at that.
These are a big improvement though.
I’m glad they didn’t go with the red eyes. It would make him too inhuman. I know he’s evil and because of the horcruxes he looks less and less human, but you’ve got to have one feature to hold us to the fact that this was once a human. His eta do the trick. Plus, if you had an exact replica from the book, he’d have red eyes and a high-pitched voice, which always reminded me of the Judge from Roger Rabbit. Remember me, Eddie?!
I agree. The high pitched voice might have worked in the book, but in the movies I think it would’ve just been comical.
From what I’ve read, Fiennes as well as the director of Goblet of Fire didn’t want the red eyes because they were concerned they would be too frightening for children. I guess in all fairness Harry Potter is a kid’s book after all. Still, red eyes would’ve been cool. Creepy as hell I’d imagine.
I’m intrigued now about how he may look with red eyes… but with slit like snake eyes.
They already explained it in the Goblet of Fire commentary. The Glowing eyes simply looked too outlandish on screen to be believable, and would have been so distracting that It would have robbed Fiennes of his ability to deliver an engaging performance.
guys, don’t mean to be a pain in the ***, but it’s HERMIONE.
Not Hermoine. HERMIONE.
H-E-R-M-I-O-N-E.
