That's right, gang. The highest grossing franchise in history is coming to an end, starting with a hard wrap of principal photography this past Saturday. The news comes from everyone's favorite little person, Warwick Davis, who played both Professor Flitwick as well as Griphook the goblin (who was played by Vern Troyer in Sorcercer's Stone) at Gringott's Wizarding bank. Davis' Twitter account delivered the news:

The end of an Era - today is officially the last day of principal photography on 'Harry Potter' - ever. I feel honoured to be here as ...the director shouts cut for the very last time. Farewell Harry & Hogwarts, it's been magic! x

The camera's will still be rolling for a while longer, presumably, as second unit stuff finishes up and later there will surely be a few days of pickup shots, but Daniel, Rupert, and Emma are all done.

Despite how much I hated Half-Blood Prince, this is still a sad day. Deathly Hallows looks great and with there being two films to get through the nigh 800 pages, it seems they've FINALLY figured out the right way to convey these stories. Harry Potter and his wizarding cohorts have been a staple of the film industry for a decade and it's going to be sad to see them go. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 drops November 19th with Part 2 the following July.
