Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of Team Hogwarts (now with Bill Nighy in tow) are back for one last two last hurrahs in the trailer for both parts of David Yates’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Hmm…I mean, I’ll go see ’em, but this trailer just makes both movies seem like a lot of running around with pained expressions. (And, not to get curmudgeonly up in here, but even speaking as someone who fired up The Leaky Cauldron back in the day, “The Motion Picture Event of a Generation” is overselling this production something fierce.)

Yeah, that word “generation” bugged me. Sure, it’s a big deal, and part two will probably be the highest-grossing film of all time, but is that all it takes to define a generation? Does that make you part of the Titanic Generation, Kevin?
Wait, you founded The Leaky Cauldron?!
Ya, Quark, a looong time ago (and the site was lousy until I passed it on.)
I think I’m almost assuredly the Star Wars generation, but better the Titanic than the Avatar generation in my book.
Now I’m wondering which generation I would be. I predate Star Wars by a bit, so I’m not there… Did the 60s even have anything we’d consider a “generational” film?
Per Peter Biskind: Easy Rider or Bonnie & Clyde, perhaps.
As for the pre-SW 70’s, The Godfather and Jaws are the two that leap to mind.
I like your choices better than relying on the box office, which would make me part of the Sound of Music generation.
