Warner Bros. unveiled its second character poster from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and it features none other than Hermione Granger! The brightest witch of her age is seen staring off into the distance with a determined expression and dirt smattering her face from the epic battle between good and evil.

In the distance, a destroyed Hogwarts lies in ruins, complete with smoke rising from the ashes while a small group of Hogwarts students look on, seemingly stunned. See the full poster on the next page!

Professor Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) takes center stage in this new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 still that was published as part of Entertainment Weekly’s summer movie issue. The usually well-coifed professor looks battle-worn and weary as she leads the way outside of the crumbling Great Hall of Hogwarts.

The Weasley family (minus a Weasley twin!) is close behind, looking grim and slightly shocked, as well as Fleur and other Hogwarts students who all look worse for the wear. Who else can you spot in the newest Harry Potter still? See the bigger pic on the next page!

Also, a new TV trailer was shown during ABC Family’s Harry Potter marathon, although without any new footage for fans.

The summer premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is coming up fast, and Warner Bros. just released another tidbit to heighten the anticipation. This latest poster from the final film is a close-up shot of a gritty, disheveled Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe. While the first official poster for Deathly Hallows Part 2 was an intense image of Voldemort and the boy wizard in an epic stare-down, this second poster captures a different feel of a weary but determined-looking Potter.

The new Harry Potter poster debuted on the official Harry Potter film’s Twitter page, with the caption:

“I never wanted any of you to die for me.” – Harry
