The eighth and final Harry Potter film hits theaters this weekend, bringing the ten year franchise to a close. Rolling Stone is celebrating the end of the beloved series with a Potter blowout including Peter Travers' review of the new movie, interviews with the film's stars at the opening red carpet event and a list of all the scandals associated with the books and movies. Plus, Neville Longbottom actor Matthew Lewis stopped by our office to chat about his character and the franchise's many directors, and we put together an incredibly amusing gallery in which stars such as Eddie Vedder, Trent Reznor and David Bowie enter the world of Hogwarts.
