7/26/2010
Beloved boy wizard Harry Potter comes face to face with Voldemort in the first cinematic installment of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
Actor Tom Felton shared an exclusive clip of the forthcoming film Saturday with about 6,000 convention-goers at Comic-Con. Many of them camped out overnight for a chance to see the footage.
The clip showed Potter and his pals navigating a dark world after Voldemort and his minions overtake the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. It introduced Bill Nighy in his role as Rufus Scrimgeour and hinted at a confrontation between Harry and Ron Weasley.
Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy, said the entire cast is "incredibly proud" of the last two films. He said it was tough to part from his castmates on the last day of shooting, adding that star Daniel Radcliffe "cried like a girl."
Harry Potter 7 opens in November.
About Comic-Con
Diego Comic-Con International, also known as Comic-Con International: San Diego, and commonly known as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con, was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention and later the San Diego Comic Book Convention in 1970 by Shel Dorf and a group of San Diegans. It is traditionally a four-day event (Thursday through Sunday — though a four-hour preview night on Wednesday is open to professionals, exhibitors, and some guests pre-registered for all four days) held during the summer in San Diego, California, United States, at the San Diego Convention Center. Comic-Con is both the name of the annual event and the common name of the organization.
