Video: First Preview of Deathly Hallows Part 2 from ABC Family’s Potter Weekend
The first preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 aired about an hour ago on ABC family (8:05pm) for those of us on the East Coast and is now available to watch below. I also expect that WB will be sending over HQ versions of these clips sometime next week, so stay tuned for that! Neville can be seen right at the end (1:26) of the clip so keep your eyes peeled.
UPDATE: Thanks to WB I’ve added a better quality version of the video

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter
Earlier in the week Warner Bros. released a new website which gives fans the preliminary information about the Harry Potter Leavesden tour which has been dubbed Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. The tour will take fans on a three hour journey through Leavesden and will open in Spring 2012 with tickets going on sale later this year at www.wbstudiotour.co.uk. Some snippets from the press release may be read below (read the full release here):
This unique walking tour will give visitors the chance to go behind the scenes of the most successful film series of all time and witness the intricate detail that goes into a working set to see first hand what the camera doesn’t show. The announcement was made by Dan Dark, SVP & Managing Director, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
Featuring the authentic sets, costumes, animatronics, props and effects used in the production of all eight Harry Potter movies, the tour will showcase the British artistry, technology and talent that went into bringing this beloved film series to life.
Among a series of never-before-seen exhibits on the three hour long tour, visitors will be able to walk onto some of the most memorable sets from all of the films in the Harry Potter series including the iconic Great Hall, Dumbledore’s office and many others to be announced at a later date.
Dan Dark, SVP & Managing Director, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden said, “While the Harry Potter film series reaches its highly anticipated conclusion this summer, its incredible filmmaking story and its relationship with Leavesden is set to live on with the launch of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. The tour promises to be one of the most exciting and memorable visitor attractions anywhere in Europe, delivering an experience never before seen by the general public.”
(Also, I know there was a new photo of Neville in Deathly Hallows online yesterday, but it was leaked so I didn’t post it. WB asked other sites to remove it today, so it’s a good thing I didn’t post it)
