Taking a look in the mirror: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) surveys his reflection in a broken looking glass in a newly released still from the forthcoming Part 1 of Deathly HallowsHe started his wizarding career as a fresh-faced 11-year-old.
But in the latest and final chapter of the hit franchise, Harry Potter has come of age.
In newly released stills from the forthcoming Part 1 of Deathly Hallows, Daniel Radcliffe is seen looking into a broken mirror, sporting an unshaven, stubbly look.
No doubt the shattered looking glass holds some greater significance than Harry just checking out his unkempt appearance.
In the final instalment, Harry goes on an intrepid adventure with friends Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) in a bid to topple the evil Lord Voldermort.
Other images released today show the trio looking rather downcast as they traipse along together. In another he is seen coming to blows with his former teacher Professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis).
Looking glum: In another shot, the wizard is seen looking downcast as he walks alongside friend Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint)Harry is also shown alone walking through the darkness, lighting the way with his wand.
The first part of the final two films begins as Harry, Hermione and Ron set out on a perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality by finding the remaining horcruxes, where the Dark Lord has hidden portions of his soul.
Without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, who met a sticky end in The Half Blood Prince, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever - as dark forces threaten to tear them apart.
The final two movies are likely to be the darkest Harry Potter films yet.
Spooky: Harry enters Bathilda's bedroom, with only his wand to light the waySpeaking about how difficult it was to shoot two Harry Potter films back to back, Radcliffe told fans at the BFI Movie-Con III in London recently: 'It was hard.
Before, the producers and directors were very good at taking all the pressure on their shoulders, but this time going into it we were slightly more nervous than we were before, because we didn’t want to screw it up as it's the last one.
'It was a long shoot, near enough 18 months, but a film set is the best place in the world as far as I’m concerned. The first part is a very weird road movie kind of thing.
'The first part is slower paced, but only compared to the second part. There’s more of an exploration of the relationships between the characters, that’s tested for the first times. And you’re not in Hogwarts, which gives it a very different feel from the other movies
Coming to blows: Harry and his former teacher, Professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) share a heated moment as a shocked Ginny (Bonnie Wright) looks on 'This is the first time I’m genuinely excited to see the film. Because it was filmed over such a long period, I’ve genuinely forgotten what we shot early on.'
Radcliffe's co-star Watson said before shooting the final scenes that she was certain she would find it difficult to film the exit scene, adding: 'It's been half of our lives. It's made us, it's formed us. It's such a big part of my life so it will be really sad.'
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows sees director David Yates back at the helm.
He was also behind Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix and Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.
The second Deathly Hallows film will see Harry, Hermione and Ron aged, using the same ageing technology employed by experts on The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
Speaking about how she would find it to see herself as a 40-year-old, Watson laughed: 'I can't wait to see that!'
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is released on November 19.
