The battle for Hogwarts begins in the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer

By Ryan Fleming June 17, 2011

After nearly 15 years perched atop the collective public consciousness (not to mention the top of the best-selling book and movie box-office lists), the Harry Potter franchise comes to its conclusion next month.

The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was a bit light on action at times (you can check out our review here), but that is mainly because the majority of the action in the book took place in the second half. The same is true of the movie, and Part 2 promises to be a worthy, and fittingly epic finale to the series.

Check out the trailer below and look for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on July 15.

SiriusXM’s Taylor Swift channel is free if your car has satellite radio

Taylor Swift on SiriusXM in a Hyundai Palisade.

It's Taylor Swift's world — we're just living in it. That was true before today, which saw the release of The Tortured Poets Department. But it's especially true given that you'll now be able to listen to all the Taylor Swift you want, for free, for the next few weeks.

Sirius XM earlier announced that the previously open Channel 13 has been transformed to Channel 13 (Taylor's Version). That is, all Taylor Swift, all the time. All you needed was a SiriusXM account. But even that minor bit of gatekeeping has been lifted a good bit. If you have a car that has the hardware for SiriusXM — and SXM believes that 50% of all cars on the road are so equipped — Channel 13 (Taylor's Version) will be available for free, through May 6.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2024)

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook.

There's only a week-and-a-half left in April, but Amazon Prime Video subscribers are still getting a steady supply of movies to watch. While there aren't any splashy Prime Video originals or prominent new additions like The Exorcist: Believer this week, Amazon is giving romance fans a chance to revisit The Notebook for its upcoming 20th anniversary, while action fans can watch Jason Statham do what he does best in Wrath of Man.

For viewers with families, perhaps Universal and Illumination's Minions: The Rise of Gru would be a better choice for your weekend movie night. Regardless of where your tastes lie, Prime Video has something for almost every movie lover. And you can find all of your top options in our roundup of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video right now.
