It is New Years Eve and 2011 is coming to a close, so it’s time for a quick reflection on what an incredible year it has been for Harry Potter.

This year we’ve had the announcement that the Wizarding World theme park in Orlando will be be expanded, and that a second park will be built over in Hollywood. JK Rowling began her Pottermore project, giving us new material and prolonging Harry Potter for years to come. We found out that Leavesden Studios where the films were made is being turned into a museum that fans will be able to visit. And of course we had the release of the epic and emotional final film in the series, Deathly Hallows Part 2, ending a decade-long era.

So what, in your opinion, was the biggest and most important HP event of this year? Place your votes below:
