The shocking apocalyptic poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is somehow more disturbing than seeing an aircraft carrier surf a tidal wave toward the White House in 2012. Maybe because Roland Emmerich never creates a realistic sense of location or characters we care about as much as the completely imaginary world of Hogwarts. Slashfilm discovers an extended version of the trailer we saw a few days ago, including previously unseen footage and more graphic shots that were scrubbed up for PG-preview audiences. You’d otherwise need to be playing the Lego Harry Potter video game to be mature enough to handle Hermione’s bloody hand.
Full-size poster and full-gore trailer after the cut.
