For over a decade, we watched as Harry Potter’s story unfolded on the big screen, the films perfectly capturing the intricate world that we first discovered in the pages of a book. As Harry’s life was forever changed by the discovery that he was a wizard, we imagine that for many of the cast and crew, working on these films was life-changing too.

And how could it not be? Bringing these stories to life was an epic challenge – one that needed thousands of people to see it through and make it a reality. The cast that grew up together. The directors who had a vision. Those who worked in special effects and convinced us dragons were real. The costume department who carefully thought about the small details – the list is endless and every single contribution crucial.

Yet, all good things must come to an end, including the Harry Potter films. Come back in time with us to 2010 and watch as the cast and crew say goodbye to the end of an era…

Ok, that left us feeling all emotional!

Although we know that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two was released more than a year after filming officially finished on the 12th June 2010, this moment was a huge milestone and a massive achievement.

It must have been bittersweet to say goodbye to the characters, cast and crew that they have held so dear, but they all know that they were truly part of something special.
