Video: J.K. Rowling, Deathly Hallows 2 cast & crew say goodbye at London premiere
 

For those who were unable to watch the live stream of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 world premiere in London this morning, it is currently be rebroadcast via Warner Bros and YouTube. Of the nearly four-hour show, the highlight was undoubtedly at the end, where author J.K. Rowling, stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, producers David Heyman and David Barron, and director David Yates said their heartfelt goodbyes to the series, their characters and each other, and of course, a huge thank you to the fans.

The clip is about 20 minutes long, where the cast, crew, and head of Warner Bros discussed their part in the series. Do note that by the time Emma Watson comes to give her speech, everyone gets quite emotional, and when Rupert began to say his goodbyes and declare his love to Dan and Emma, everyone on stage was in tears. The final person to speak was of course J.K. Rowling, who thanked the fans, cast, and crew from the bottom of her heart, and said, at the end, "Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."

I was there and it was amazing! It rained really heavily during the day but luckily the sun came out just before the premiere started.

The atmosphere was great and both the cast and the fans seemed to be very emotional as it really seemed to hit everyone that this is the last premiere and last film ever. There were lots of tears...

Oh god I don't seem to get over the crying now, there are no words right now :'( But I think you people understand better than anybody...

omg i remember when they started saying that i was in tears

Ahhhh. All of their speeches were so amazing and emotional. Emma's made me cry like crazy! :cry: *virtually snuggles every single one of them* The last Harry Potter premiere! *wails*

I just can't believe this journey is coming to an end. I still remember how exited I was when the first film came out, I remember that the day I went to see it I had my robe and wand ready along with my HP Book, it was all I wanted to see over and over again.. and now, 10 years later, the journey is coming to its end, along with all the memories I hold dear in my heart.

First, Emma came, and her sincere emotions just flourished and made us shed a tear, at how close the trio was with Queen Rowling and the HP Books. Oh, and when I saw JO speaking, she was pouring her heart out to us, she was very emotional, her speech was very moving that brought me to tears. Because of her we are now able to talk about HarryPotter, take a joy while reading the books, watch the films, and get crazy about Magic. Thanks JO for creating that WORLD!

And Yes, Hogwarts is my HOME! and will always be a Home to those that in their hearts hold that Magic that belief in the Wizard Boy of the cupboard under the stairs..

Soooo sweet and heartfelt :cry:
Loved that Dan was checking to see if he had a handkerchief on him as Emma cried :loved:

Oh gosh,I am such a wimp.That was really sweet, what all of them said.That was the saddest 20 minutes of my life, or well until July 15.i will always go back to Hogwarts,"Gotta get back to Hogwarts,gotta get back to SCHOOL!"

It was great watching it seeing them all. I cried so much! :*( They all are great actors/actresses and a great crew. JK Rowling made it all possible. :)

That was pretty sad!

"Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home!"

This was absolutly the bestt part to watch I cried a little, knowing that it was over but, the storys will live on with me and other people forever. :*(

This really killed me. I sobbed and blubbered throughout the whole speech- starting with David Heymen. I flooded the room when Emma started as well. Goodness! I'm crying now just thinking about it.
But, I'm glad they shared this "goodbye" with us. It really helped my Harry Potter heart.
Thank you, J.K. Rowling, for this life you gave to all us Harry Potter fans. :)

i can only imagine the intensity!!!!

Sniff, Sniff!!
 

I was crying my eyes out. I can not believe it has been 10 years for these movies. Watching that audition tape is amazing and to see how mature and wonderful the trio have become is fantastic.
Rupert and Emma got me really choked up and Dan well what can you say. He is so articulate.
It was great that they thanked everyone and especially took time to see the fans and sign autographs and such. That is why they have such a loyal fan base. They care about the people who pay to see there work.
I remember calling off work to go see the movie by myself one day when the first film came out and I was hooked. I was reading the books and when I saw how close they came to the book I was amazed.
I wish they would have had Chris Columbus out there since he started the ball rolling.
Thank you Dan, Emma and Rupert and the entire cast and crew of Harry Potter for 10/11 wonderful years of fun and fantasy.
:harry::hermy::ron:

Emma didn't only make JK Rowling weep........

I'm watching this again, as I saw most of it during the stream, and I'm legitimately crying. Just a wee bit, but still. One tear is enough. :cry:

I haven't seen this yet and am on the verge of crying. :( The series will never die. This isn't goodbye, just til we meet again.

Watching the premiere just made me sad, and finally, after holding it in for months, I just cried. Not to hard but just cried. It just came to me that it's really ending and it makes me so sad....farewell, Harry Potter. Thank you so much for bringing so much magic into my life :D

If I had been watching this last week, I would have been a weeping mess on the floor of my room! I love how Rupert managed to squeeze in some comedy to try and cheer up the girls - and of course, the moment that finally got Dan teary eyed with the "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."

ok...seriously....i am going to cry now.

Because I wasnt crying my eyes out in trafalgar square today *Shift eyes* .......

Aw, I just wanted to hug them. :(

I think I'll be in tears when Part II comes, but I won't be saying goodbye either! Let the magic of Harry Potter live on! :D

Wow, there are no words to describe how amazing this was. When Emma started crying I could feel the lump forming in my throat. These books and movies have changed so many lives and affected so many people. I just came home from spending 4 hours talking about Harry Potter with a girl who's 2 years younger than I! That enough shows how powerful this series is, that it can bring people of all ages and types together. I've been saying it for a while now and love that Dan and even Jo have echoed the thought: Harry Potter will never truly be over. As long as we have the books, the movies, and the story in our hearts, the tale of a young wizard with glasses and an oddly shaped scar will live on forever. So, if everyone could join me in saying LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!!!!

Awwwwwww!!!!! *Cries*

I have been checking my news channels all evening to see premiere coverage. Managed to watch the 30min show on Sky 1 at 8:30pm, but what I really should have done is come on here! I've been slacking, last time I logged on was in 2008. :O The site has changed loads, but it's really good. Emotional Premiere, I really wish I had gone to London today!!

Ok with Dan I was beyond touched, Emma...emotional, by the time Rupert spoke and even he was getting emotional...I'm finished, my heart is just aching. JK Rowling was beyond beautiful as always with her words ( and the trio standing so closely together in the back...*sobbing*).

I feel so silly sometimes for getting emotional about this last film as I technically didn't grow up with this series as some have ( I was 15 the first time I read Sorcerers Stone) but omg...I am having so many feelings right now of sadness and excitement.

I so want JKR to be serious about writing another book right now! Alas... that's not to happen, I'm just thankful we will always have the books and movies whenever we feel the need to come home to Hogwarts.

Now off to watch more premiere coverage.

literally breaking down into tears.
<3 HARRYPOTTER will be in our hearts forever.

While I was watching this live, I was inconsolable.

David Heyman got me tearing up right off the bat. Dan's speech was nice, and very much him...not too emotional and using awkward humor. I was so fond of him in that moment. Then I was pretty much sobbing when Emma, that beautiful girl, started. First off, what she said about Dan was truly wonderful. And to have her go down the line, I couldn't control my sobs. She's so wonderful, and I'm so happy she's gotten this chance in her life.

But once Rupert lost it, I was completely gone. My tears were thick and big and constant. The sobs coming out of me where literally gut-wrenching; they came from somewhere deep, deep inside. (If I hadn't been at home alone watching it, it would have been embarrassing.) But to see Rupert Grint so emotional, in actual tears -- someone who hasn't shown such intense emotion in public that way in ten years, just really, really, really moved and touched me. You can see what those three mean to each other, what this has meant to them. (The way Emma basically pulled him in for a hug was the most adorable thing ever.)

And then Jo came. She will always be my hero.
Whether you come back by page or by cinema, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you back home.
You are perfect. Thank you, Joanne Kathleen Rowling. I will always love you.

These are all such wonderful people. God, I'll miss them all.

Shannon :hello:

Hogwarts will be Hogwarts, even if the world changes,., It will still be a home for everyone.... :)

It was great to be able to watch the premiere live, and these speeches were a really emotional ending. The tears will probably wait until I see Part 2, but I almost caved during Jo's speech. I love what she said about Hogwarts always being there -- so beautiful and so true.

I sobbed. I don't want it to end!

gosh.... that was quite a tearjerker.

and Dan may be right that he got really lucky when he was 11-- but he forgets that the franchise was lucky to have him too all these years, in fact it almost never happened.

i dont think there was a dry eye in that place-- specially not after Emma's speech

*dies*

Okay so.
Emma crying BROKE MY HEART. This honestly has been the saddest premiere yet, I remember watching the half blood prince preimere going, hey theres so much time left its not gonna end so fast, but you know what...time flew by. There arent any words to describe my love for the "super 7" and J.k ,...i <3 all of them, and Harry Potter is the biggest thing in my life.
*HOGWARTS IS MY HOME*

Guh...that didn't turn me into a sobbing six year old girl at all! Haha. So sad...

I started crying when David Yates went up there and every speech just made them roll down harder! Emma had my bawling! Then Rupert goes and talks about gingers and made me laugh :lol: it was a weird feeling... Laughing and crying... Then JK and oh I just about died :x3: this was great and I agree with Dan. This. Is. Not. The. End.

wow that was one of the most emotional and heartfelt clips i have ever seen. everyone was so genuine and thoughtful. these stories will never die because i know we will all continue to read the books and watch the movies. Jo's ending line said it all.

Nice videos..

it was so emotional

Once I started watching this.... I immediately cried. It's so sad to see that Potter is coming to an end. Everyone's kind words are just AMAZING! I love Jo for this. HP is just my life! <3

aww my heart broke into tiny pieces

That was really emotional but as Jo and Dan have said it will always live in our hearts no matter what,there will always be that place in your heart where Harry Potter lives and nobody can do anything about it because it will always be there,we've grown with it and it will grow with us.

It really got me when JK Rowling said;
'hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home' awwwwwwwwww:-(
I refuse to say goodbye to Harry Potter, because it isn't the end!

(and now the tears are coming!)

OMG i just dont want it to get over so soon

*cries* HP was the best book ever written and will always remain so. As long we keep the story alive and pass it on it will be alive forever.
Thanks JK, cast and crew for giving us something to remember for the rest of our lives!

LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!!!

Watching this in person was so upsetting. Of those still left in the fan site pen, everyone was sobbing.

thanks 4 posting. I saw half of the livestream then i had to go out 2 do things. emma's like dan get off my dress. I'm glad that they all did alittle speech

we need scenecaps from these. aww dang u emma making me cry

This made me tear up so badly!!! It so sad miserable to think that in just a couple of days in the states these movies will finally be finished, but J.K. Rowling was completely right when she said that we whether we return by pages or by the big screen Hogwarts will always welcome us home.

* runs off to dry tears*

Awww so sad........can't believe this is the last one already~ T_T

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I wish i was there...i wish i was there...i wish i was there :(

This is amazing, and emotional. Very much so because this is the first time i've been emotional about the films ending. aaaaaah. I love Emma for being Emma. Her defence of Dan was very cute and very true I think. And you can tell by his reaction that it really meant a lot. I love Dan too of course. "Thank you for giving me a job" lol. AW AND RUPERT :'( I can't believe he cried and everything. Yay for the gingers :) and all the David's of course were briliant and i thank you :) Steve Kloves as well, who I believe is a briliant script writer.

And Jo. I love Jo. She nearly made me cry :( aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.......... THANK YOU!!!

What were the people chantting in the background during her speech?

thank you.

Was crying as I watched this. Like most of you, I have been in this fandom for a long time and to see the films end...T_T But thank you Jo for saying we will always be welcome whether we go back by page or cinema. Thank you are not strong enough words as Rupert said, but that's all I can say for now - Thank you Jo, for making all our lives more magical because of HP.

And I don't know if this is the right place to say it, but Snitchseeker - a BIG thank you for being the home of Potterheads like me all through the years. :)

First the books and now the movies........But the feeling of Harry Potter will never die

No it never will. Curious though, where is Rupert headed to after New York?

Trully a moving and touching moment! So nice of them to do it!

Aww I cried at ruperts and JKs speech. :'( I wish it wasn't over.

I watched it again. I still there is a sense of denial from them that it is over. I think we have not seen the last of Harry Potter on the big screen.

This is probably the saddest thing I've ever watched. The whole time it seemed like Emma had been holding back the tears. And Jo, naturally the same. It all comes down to her brilliant mind.

Ugh, I actually cried.

Yay for the big 7!

Well I cried.

There will never be words enough to express my thanks to Jo. She is my hero and an inspiration and she has given me some of the best memories I will ever have over the last 14 years.

I love her stories and her for writing them with all my heart.

(and just to echo Tonks26' thoughts...Thank you Snitchseeker. I've been here for nearly 8 years and I have never even considered going anywhere else for Harry Potter news and friends.)

So emotional.
Daniel looked the most relaxed.
Emma looks phenomenally.
Rupert and his sentence about ginger people :D

I hope their friendship will survive anything.
Even outside the plan.
