Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows
OMG, did someone just spoil the ending to the last book? According to AOL News, some hacker got into the Scholastic computers and found out how the last Harry Potter book ends, then posted it on the web. We refuse to read it, but if you do, we won't judge you. Much. Of course, if you told us what happened ... well, let's just say there's nowhere you could hide.

Hermione ... Dead?
Well, not the character, but it looked as if Emma Watson wasn't going to be in the final two movies. Fortunately, she, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint all signed up to finish off the series. Lucky for them... fans might have rioted. And by fans, we mean us.

Hard to Believe
Aw, shucks! Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) was such a little pipsqueak in 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' Look at him just struggling to keep that owl raised.

Miss Granger Grows Up
Emma Watson (Hermione) just keeps getting magically hotter. In 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,' it's clear that Hermione's got just as much beauty as brains. Not bad at all.

Snape Still Sketches
Us OutWho would have ever expected Prof. Snape (Alan Rickman) to actually protect these young wizards? Well, OK, we'd read the books, but we still didn't accept it...

Harry's Hair
Harry's shaggier look debuted in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.' What with rushing around trying to solve clues, it's not like he had the time to brush his hair or anything.

Weasley's Clothes
This is where movies really bring the books to life. Ron's (Rupert Grint) tux is far, far worse onscreen than ANYTHING you could have dreamed up yourself.

Order of the Phoenix
Now Watch: 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' Trailer. The new movie presents the first female Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Lace, ruffles and the color pink in a 'Harry Potter' movie? We're cringing already (with delight).
