Warner Bros. has released a new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 poster. While some posters are light and cheerful, the new Harry Potter poster shows Harry dirty and disheveled. If you've read the final book, you know what Harry has to overcome to defeat Voldemort.
With the final film set for release July 15, I'm both excited and sad that one of my favorite film franchises is coming to a close. Hit the jump to check out the new poster and you can click here for all of our Potter coverage.

“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.
