Arrival of ‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2′ was a moment that made headlines and marked the end of an era. By John Mitchell “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Photo: WB For millions of people all over the world, the approach of midnight on July 15 brought with it a gut-wrenching mix of excitement and heartache. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” was set to open all over the world, and as fans lined up outside movie theaters — some in costume as their favorite character — we realized that this was it. The joy of seeing the final installment of the most successful film franchise in history was tempered with the sadness that we’d never get to do this again. This truly great thing that had been, from first book to final film, a part of our lives for well over a decade had reached its end. For an entire generation, the film’s release was like turning the final page on our childhoods. “Deathly Hallows, Part 2” wasn’t just a movie; it was the event of the summer. And the bittersweet moment is also MTV News’ #8 Top Newsmaker of 2011 , because it made headlines and marked the end of an era. The stars of the film definitely seemed to understand just how close to fans’ hearts the franchise had become . It had, after all, touched them too. Asked if there’d be tears upon the film’s release, Emma Watson cheekily told MTV News at the MTV Movie Awards, “Maybe a few. Maybe one or two, just little ones.” The film set box-office records for the biggest first day ($92.1 million) and largest opening weekend, both domestically ($168.5 million) and worldwide ($314 million), ever and received the best reviews of any film in the franchise. The praise wasn’t contained to critics and fans: Even the stars of the film were in awe of the final product. “I was a wreck because of the film itself,” Daniel Radcliffe told MTV News at the film’s New York premiere. “You’ve got to have a heart of stone to not find part of it — especially Alan Rickman’s performance — heartbreaking, so yeah, I’ve done my fair share of crying already. … I think that we proved in doing ‘Potter’ that you can bring integrity and perpetual growth to a franchise.” Fans’ devotion to the books, films and characters created by J.K. Rowling was manifest in the enthusiastic response to our “Harry Potter” World Cup , MTV News’ month-long, March Madness-style tournament to find out which character was the fan favorite. More than 7.4 million votes were cast in the competition, resulting in a final face-off between Ron Weasley and Professor Severus Snape . In the end, the compellingly complex Snape took the title, and star Alan Rickman thanked fans at the film’s New York premiere, telling MTV News that Snape’s victory was “a vote for ambiguity and things where you don’t quite know how they’re going to turn out.” He continued, “Also, it’s [Snape’s] values that you can’t talk about without ruining the film, but things like courage and determination and loyalty and love, actually.” The success of the series itself could be seen as a celebration of those same things. On the surface, the “Harry Potter” films are fantasies about a boy wizard and his underdog friends navigating a magical universe in which evil lurks in the shadows. But above all, the “Potter” books and films champion courage, determination and loyalty in the face of great adversity and are premised on the notion that love ultimately conquers all. We can think of no better message for a film series to impart on a generation of young people facing a real world mired in conflict and economic turmoil. It’s sad that there’s no more “Potter” to look forward to, but the magic created by Rowling; directors Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuar

‘It isn’t just a political film, it isn’t just Bosnia,’ director of ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’ tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Angelina Jolie on the set of “In the Land of Blood and Honey” Photo: Ken Regan / GK Films Although Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” is a harrowing, unrelenting drama set around the atrocities experienced and committed during the Bosnian War, Jolie swears that her goal in making the film and telling this story is not to teach anything or promote any agenda. “I hope for the audience watching that it isn’t just a history lesson, it isn’t just a political film, it isn’t just Bosnia,” she told MTV News recently. “We tried to tell a dramatic story, we tried to make a good film with great actors, we tried to just give traditional dramatic storytelling, and somehow in that, we also layered all these other things and it’s a part of it. “Even if you’re not particularly interested in history, which I can’t imagine because it’s important, but if [you want to see something] just for filmmaking or just to see performances or just to see a story, an emotional relationship story, that’s this film.” Nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Golden Globe, it highlights the horrors of ethnic conflicts that have occurred far too often throughout history — in this case, the Bosnian War. The story revolves around the relationship between two Bosnians on opposite sides of the conflict, Danijel (Goran Kostic) and Ajla (Zana Marjanovic) , and the devastating toll it has on their lives. Jolie raved about the experience she had during production, calling her crew “a family,” which made us wonder if the first-time director is ready to go back and direct another film. “Oh, I don’t know,” she said. “I’m still very shy [about that]. I still can’t believe I’m even here and we did it.” Check out everything we’ve got on “In the Land of Blood and Honey.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Our #5 Newsmaker of 2011 launched a concert film, found his inner rapper and chopped off his famous locks in a boundary-pushing year. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: Getty Images In the two years since Justin Bieber dropped his debut album, My World, the teen superstar has become one of the biggest forces in pop music and amassed a dedicated legion of Beliebers along the way. A global superstar who can top the box office as well as the charts, it’s hard to remember what pop was like pre-Bieber. Over the course of the year, MTV News watched as the young star continued to climb new career heights, and you were there as we covered every milestone on the way to Justin’s becoming our #5 Top Newsmaker of 2011 . “Fans will be really excited to see that I’m just a regular 16-year-old having fun just living my dream,” he told MTV News in February at the premiere of his 3-D film, “Never Say Never.” “And it’s possible for anyone to live theirs.” Bieber’s determination to dream even bigger was clear this past year. He kicked off 2011 with the release of a concert documentary that brought fans into his world, pre- and post-fame; he followed that up with more music, dropping Never Say Never – The Remixes. By mid-year Bieber was selling out venues on his My World Tour, and at the end of ’11, he was ready to celebrate the holidays with Under the Mistletoe. He also made time to rap for us right in the MTV Newsroom, had teen girls everywhere smelling good with his Someday perfume and made jaws drop by chopping off his famous locks . “We knew it was going to be a big deal,” Bieber’s hairstylist, Vanessa Price, explained. “We knew it was going to shock fans, but we also knew it was going to be a change in terms of growing up. I think that’s something that people adjust to.” This year was also about pushing boundaries for Bieber. He gained street cred by working with the likes of Kanye West, Chris Brown and Busta Rhymes, and when asked how he thought his music would evolve, he explained, “I’m not gonna really limit myself. I think music is music, and genre — I mean, I know there’s country music, there’s rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music.” The Biebs made time for love, too, spending time with girlfriend Selena Gomez at events like awards shows and on lavish date nights. And he had Gomez’s support when a fan made false claims that he had fathered her child . Justin never really seemed to waver though: He shrugged off the allegations and moved on. Bieber already has big plans for 2012. He’s readying his next album, Believe, which he opened up about during his first-ever “MTV First” in October. “I’m trying to create a new sound that people aren’t really used to hearing, so it might sound weird at first, but it’s going to be like when Justin Timberlake did FutureSex/LoveSounds : It was a new sound … acoustic guitar over hard drums,” he explained. “I want to find something that’s going to suit me and my fans are going to love and older people will like and younger people will like. But I’m always trying to keep my core fanbase, because the young people are what make everything cool. Old people look to young people, so trying to keep everyone happy.” MTV continues our Best of 2011 coverage by looking back at the biggest pop-culture stories of the year.

Candice Swanepoel is the kind of African I’d fuck without a condom despite the high AIDS rate and the odds of her having AIDS working totally against her, because she’s hot…and because you could probably blackmail her into paying you a monthly salary to keep your mouth shut for the rest of your life in the event that you did get AIDS in what could be the biggest loser mooching off famous pussy since K-Fed story this decade… She’s hot, her tits look good in a push-up bra, she’s posing sexy for Turkey, because despite being arab, they are less uptight than America, I do wish there was more pussy lip, but that’s a constant theme of my useless needs and wants and demands from pictures in magazines….since I’m a pervert…I mean just last night I got drunk and tried to make at least 4 drunk girls touch my dick over my pants in line at McDonalds….none of them went of it….cock teases…

The Voice returns February 5 on NBC, right after the Super Bowl. Already pulling out all the stops to market its sleeper hit singing competition, the network is filming extended commercials to air … during its Super Bowl coverage. That’s one way to remind the audience what’s on next. Friday Night Lights creator Peter Berg recently filmed a spot featuring Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Cee Lo Green. Here’s a pic from it: Why watch The Voice when there are a billion other shows like it? One 60-second ad, titled “Vokal Kombat,” plays off an element of The Voice that’s truly unique. The judges’ swivel chairs, which turn to face a contestant during auditions when a judge hears a singer that deserves a shot, are the focal point of the new ads. If more than one judge turns around to face the stage, they must compete against each other to win over the contestant, which can result in a battle royale. The Voice will be competing directly against American Idol , which kicks off its 11th season January 22. Is there room for two? Will you watch either? Both?

Ever since Britney Spears got engaged to Jason Trawick last week, celebrities everywhere – and even K-Fed for that matter – have been wishing her all the best. One of more vocal supporters over the years (really) has been 50 Cent, who told told reporters at the VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul concert in NYC how happy he is. “I am so happy for her,” the rapper said , before musing, “Britney Spears had a rough time. The press took the biggest opportunity ever to dog her.” “When you reach that point, you work really hard to get where she is. It’s very interesting because the public likes to build you to destroy you for entertainment’s sake.” “I’m just really happy for her to be happy.” Fiddy continued by saying he thinks Britney is ready to be married for a third time (before K-Fed, she wed high school pal Jason Alexander for 55 hours). “I hope she is,” he remarked. “Wouldn’t you like to hope that? Let’s just put that out there in the universe, that she is ready.” She seems it. She and Jason Trawick, her former agent, were close long before they were a couple, and he’s been an enormously positive influence on her. [Photo: WENN.com]

Reality tv has completely changed our culture. We tune in every week to see what drama some housewife or sports/music groupie will bring. Some of those stars looked beyond their 15 minutes of fame, dreamt big and capitalized on branding themselves. Check out our list of the top five reality show women in business that managed to turn their reality fame into real fortune. An EXCLUSIVE With “Love & Hip-Hop’s” Yandy Smith 1. Kim Kardashian Kim is the epitome of cashing in on reality TV show fame. Not only did Kim K put herself on, but her entire family as well. Since her sex tape with R&B singer Ray J, she’s kicked off her sisters’ spin-off shows and has had all kinds of ventures going on. She owns Dash, a clothing boutique with her sisters, launched workout DVDs , an eponymous fragrance line , the ShoeDazzle website, a makeup line , created a clothing line for Bebe and nabbed Quick Trim and PerfectSkin product endorsements. 2. Bethenny Frankel First staring on Real Housewives of New York , Bethenny quickly became a breakout star and received her own spinoffs– Bethenny Gets Married and Bethenny Ever After. That’s not where her prosperity stops. This reality star-turned-mogul has earned lucrative endorsement deals (Pampers, Bluefly, Hanes), a successful publishing franchise, a Body by Bethenny workout DVD, Skinnygirl extensions (including a shapewear line, a diet cleanse and weight-loss supplement), speaking engagements, a stint on ABC’s Skating With the Stars and, of course, that epic liquor deal with Fortune Brands’ Beam Global that scored her a reported $120 million. Clearly, reality TV agrees with Frankel. 3. Kandi Burruss Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss was famous before she joined the cast. She gained her fame from being in the R&B singing group Xscape, as well as a songwriter and producer. Kandi has written hits for TLC, Destiny’s Child, Pink, Usher, Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey to name drop a bit. Since being added to the Housewives cast, she’s expanded her brand to include Kandi Koated Nights – her internet sex and relationship show – as well as her sex toy line, Bedroom Kandi. Bravo’s even greenlit Kandi’s own reality show, Kandi Factory. 4. Nicole “ Snooki” Polizzi Snooki took the world by storm when Jersey Shore debuted in 2009. She became the biggest star from the series and used that stardom to launch her own fuzzy slippers , sunglasses , nail polish line , perfume , jewelry and she’s also a New York Times bestseller with her books A Shore Thing and Confessions of a Guidette. Snooki also gets paid over $30,000 for her speaking engagements, over $20,000 for her club appearances and not to mention her salary from Jersey Shore ranged from $30,000-$100,000 per episode. Can we say cha-ching?! 5. Shaunie O’Neal Shaunie was an entertainment correspondent for The Insider and Access Hollywood . Since her liberation from her ex-husband, Shaquille O’Neal, Shaunie’s been upgrading her career on her own merits. She’s the producer and cast member of Vh1′s hit reality show Basketball Wives , she also produces Football Wives –which helped to spawn her production company, Amirah, Inc. Shaunie’s looking into expanding her brand into more shows, movies, shoes and books. One of the biggest differences about Shaunie is that she uses her powers for good as well. She focuses on philanthropy through her REAL Models Foundation–a fundraising entity that focuses on displaced homeless women and children, and she recently became involved with the Hope Gardens Family Center, a part of the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles.
