Harry Potter continued its modest awards season success last night by picking up two prizes at the annual Critics’ Choice Awards!

Deathly Hallows Part 2 fought off tough competition to win in the Best Makeup and Best Sound categories. Unfortunately, it lost out to Hugo for Best Art Direction, and to Rise of the Planet of the Apes in the Visual Effects category. Oscar favourite The Artist was the event’s biggest winner, with four awards, including Best Picture. For a full list of winners, click here.

Many congratulations to Nick Dudman, Amanda Knight, Stuart Wilson, James Mather and everybody else who worked on the fantastic makeup and sound for Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Also, David Heyman and Daniel Radcliffe were in New York City this week to receive an award for Special Achievement in Filmmaking from the National Board of Review. A picture of the pair with the trophy can be seen below (via Snitchseeker).
