Culture Buzz 2011 was a crazy year for Harry Potter fans! It was an end of an era with the end of the Harry Potter movies, and especially for people like me, who've grown up with Harry Potter, it was a bittersweet, whirlwind of a year. Here are my picks of the best Harry Potter related buzz of 2011.
Movie Buzz These will all be on the final DVD, but you know you want to watch them now. (via ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com)

Warner Brothers is taking a page out of Disney's playbook and apparating the movies from store shelves this Dec. 29.
Movie Buzz A fake quote about Harry Potter setting free Nagini has been traveling around Tumblr, and many people are taking it as fact. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is NOT true. Instead, here are some Harry Potter facts about the books and movies that are 100% true (and maybe some things that ya didn't know). (via hpotterfacts.tumblr.com)
That awkward moment when Voldemort gives you a hug. It's not fun. (Spoilers relating to the final Harry Potter movie, obviously.) (via thedailywh.at)
Movie Buzz If you grew up with Harry Potter, if you remember waiting impatiently for all the books, if you remember getting excited for all the movies, if you are part of the Harry Potter generation, this is for you. We stuck with Harry until the very end. Mischief managed.
Celebrity Buzz This is the tale of how Matthew Lewis transformed from a bumbling little Neville to a hotty, kick-butt hero. Seriously, watch the final Deathly Hallows movie and you'll see what I mean.
Last Thursday, just before midnight, a fervent Christian went down to the AMC on 34th and 8th in Manhattan and attempted to turn people away from seeing the last Potter movie ever. It all ends here.
Movie Buzz Hey guys, let's have some fun together. If you were lucky enough to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 already, I wanna know your thoughts! Post your thoughts on the final movie, GIFs of your *~feelings~* about your childhood being over, and any other Harry Potter related things in the comments. And spoilers, obviously!
Tech Buzz It's all downhill from here. When you save the world from evil at seventeen, you've peaked.
Movie Buzz My father will hear about this breach of secrecy. I never knew there were so many cameras involved to get one shot. Warning: This might be spoilery? I'm not sure.
Movie Buzz Repairo. REPAIRO! Nope, no amount of wizard magic can cover up these mistakes. And there are hundreds more over at Movie Mistakes.
On Thursday at midnight fans will pile into theaters across the country to say goodbye to the kids of Hogwarts, forever. With seven movies completed and the eighth about to unspool, it’s the perfect time to take a quick look back. (Via)
The Fine Brothers are back with a quick recap of all the 7 Harry Potter movies out currently. It's a good refresher before it all ends July 15. (SOB!)
What if the students at Hogwarts were wizard martial arts masters? Wand fights would certainly have a new meaning. Youtuber GakAttack shows us the magical art of kicking butt in his latest short. (via themarysue.com)
OH MY GOD. SO EPIC. Chills. Tears. I can't even.
Movie Buzz I need a poster of the the first banner, STAT! I can hardly contain my excitement for this movie. (via popculturebrain.com)
Movie Buzz OMG, ALL THE HARRY POTTER POSTERS YOU COULD EVER WANT. These are action shots - not just faces, folks.THE REAL DEAL. Side note: They got rid of the crappy typography. Hooray! (via popculturebrain.com)
I just watched my entire childhood in this Harry Potter montage. Words cannot express the emotions I am feeling right now.
Snape, Snape, Severus Snape…is a classy guy. It must be the weirdest feeling in the world to pack up shop after devoting eleven years of your life to a character.
Celebrity Buzz Empire Magazine's June issue will be a Harry Potter special! They released a sneak peek of 16 portraits of the cast on their website. Just another way to pump you up for the last movie!
THIS IS SCIENCE!* I felt ALL OF THESE EMOTIONS when watching the trailer for part 2 of the Deathly Hallows. (*Not really science.)
Movie Buzz OMG, IT'S HERE! I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS! Chills. Just straight up chills.
This promo image for the Deathly Hallows (Part 2) shows that Dumbledore's not the only one with boy love. But where's the Draco/Harry?
OH, THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE EPIC! It all ends 7/15! Ahhh, true on so many levels.
It's been 10 wonderful years of growing up with the Harry Potter actors! I'm sure it was really emotional to shoot their very last Harry Potter scene ever. Ugh, I'm going to be so excited/sad when this movie premieres!
AHHHH, CHILLS!!! This movie is going to be so epic. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
This flowchart is kind of like 6 degrees of separation with the Harry Potter films. I knew I saw Moaning Myrtle in Bridget Jones! The things you learn!
Excuse me while I go change my pants. Thank you, Harry Potter, for reminding us all of the true meaning of the word “epic”.
