Today, May 2nd, 2012, marks the 14th Anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts in which good triumphed over evil and the Dark Lord fell at the hands of Harry Potter.

What a better way to comemorate this day than a current look at some of the witches and wizards that were in the final battle.

A gripping documentary directed by Nicholas Acosta interviews those individuals who were on that battlefield, as well as an exclusive sit down with a former Death Eater, Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas and others involved with the Battle that would shape the future of the wizarding world.
