Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows marks the end of the almost ten-year fantasy film [b]franchise[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]The young stars of the films have been in the [b]limelight[/b] for almost a decade but now it's the beginning of the end for the Hogwarts schoolmates and for fans of the films.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The first film was screened in 2001. The girls and boys who watched it then have grown up, perhaps more quickly than the on-screen[url=http://d.24en.com/s/?wd=character]character[/url]s. Certainly the films have got darker and scarier and this latest episode is [b]a long way from[/b] the original film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The Harry Potter effect has certainly been [b]profitable,[/b]becoming one of the [b]highest- grossing[/b] film series of all time. But is it because of the story or because of its high-profile[b]marketing[/b] campaign? Xan Brooks talks about the films in The Guardian newspaper saying "It's hard [b]to[/b][b]mourn[/b] the [b]demise[/b] of a franchise that was never more than half-alive to begin with… after all this time and all these films, it is as though we never really knew you at all."[/p][p=21, 2, left]Others may disagree and for the cast it's been a franchise that has launched their careers. The actor Daniel Radcliffe told the BBC he has[b]fond[/b] memories of playing the [b]wizard[/b] Harry Potter but "as ten years with one [url=http://d.24en.com/s/?wd=character]character[/url] I'm ready [b]to move on[/b] as well".[/p][p=21, 2, left]Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, agrees that playing the role has been a great start to his acting [b]career[/b] but he admits "it has been hard to[b]adjust[/b] really because it's been a huge part of my life".[/p][p=21, 2, left]The [b]downside[/b] of actors playing the same person for so many years is that they can become [b]typecast[/b]. The audience just can't think of them playing another [url=http://d.24en.com/s/?wd=character]character[/url].[/p][p=21, 2, left]But Daniel Radcliffe has already made appearances on stage and [b]is set to[/b] perform in a Broadway musical. Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, has already made her modelling [b]debut[/b] for the fashion brand Burberry.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The second part of this final story will be screened next year. After that, for [b]die-hard[/b] fans of Harry Potter the [b]legacy [/b]will live on in J.K. Rowling's books and also through a theme park in Florida called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And maybe the wizard will cast some of his magic on the author's future projects.[/p][/font]
