Congrats to the visual effects team!
Does that mean HP didn't get long listed for any other academy awards?

| its time to choose between what is right and what is easy
I actually read this first on another site and completely missed seeing Harry Potter dh right at the top I was furious to see it didn't make it
I am much happier now I looked a second time
they so deserve a nomination for their hard work

Well, that's no surprise. I haven't watched the other movies yet (besides Transformers  ), but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot more tough competition than last year. Anyways, good luck, HP!

Just some Oscar-tracking thoughts: Harry Potter's biggest competition is Hugo and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I think though that with Harry Potter's traditional effects (non-CGI) they have a chance of winning. Almost every scene in harry Potter has a diverse array of visual effects used. What would help HP in winning is a lot of the competition have similar settings used, (Hugo, Sherlock, Pirates; Super 8, Transformers, Rise) but HP isn't safe from that since it also has similarities to others. The very best bet of HP is its role in reviving(?)/ making the Brit a powerful special effects company(?) in the industry. Similar to what LotR did for the Australian/New Zealand effects guys.
I'm saving all these Consider images as this is the most I've seen of them and it IS the FINALE! After the Oscar's we'll only have Pottermore to mull over.  | |

Back to topic: It should win several awards. If yo-u come to think about it, Oscar is one of the only major contests that Hrary Potter has never won in. Go Potter!

HP needs to win an Oscar!!!! Especially w/ this last movie. If they don't receive one I'm gonna hunt down whoever decides the Oscar winners and hit them with a hammer flip
Sorry, just recently watched "Harry's Nightmares" from Potter Puppet Pals (if you've seen it, you'll get the reference  )

Finally! A more realistic consideration. The HP team truly deserves the nomination for all they have done in the past 10 years. Well done!
