Remember that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" footage we told you about earlier this week? Well, it's here!

ABC Family debuted new footage from the second half of "Deathly Hallows" last night as part of their weekend-long "Harry Potter" marathon, and boy-who-lived did it deliver! On first glance, it looks like the footage just shows a lot of the same scenes we saw in the first full-length trailer, but once we dug a little deeper, there was a whole lot worth getting excited about.

Dobby's grave? Check. Major death scene? Check. A Snape flashback? Check. Click on after the jump to watch the footage and read our spoiler-filled analysis!

All this week we've been counting down our favorite RPattz moments in preparation for "MTV First: Robert Pattinson," a 30-minute chat in which the actor will take questions from our own Josh Horowitz and fans like you, in addition to debuting an exclusive new clip from his latest movie "Water for Elephants."

It's not easy to narrow all of Robert's memorable moments down to just five -- so far we've reminisced about his very first interview with MTV, that awkward/sexy near-kiss with Kristen Stewart at the MTV Movie Awards, his first trip to the Academy Awards and his thoughts on "Twilight" brand glitter lube -- but our #1 choice was a no-brainer.

Now, we here at MTV get a lot of interesting responses from celebrities during interviews. Sometimes it's a detailed account about their latest venture, other times it's an out-of-left field anecdote that sets the conversation on a very different course. Then there are the times when Robert Pattinson describes something as "bullsh--."

“The Lincoln Lawyer,” starring Matthew McConaughey in his first courtroom-centric role since “A Time to Kill,” throttles its way into theaters today. And, frankly, it’s good to see McConaughey back in business suits (and, alright, the errant wife beater – but who’s complaining?) He proves charismatic and commanding in the role of smooth-talking criminal defense lawyer Mickey Haller, who operates out of the back of a Lincoln town car -- or, as Haller calls it, his “office.”

While the rest of the stellar ensemble cast (which includes Marisa Tomei, John Leguizamo, Michael Peña, Bryan Cranston and Josh Lucas) complements McConaughey pitch-perfectly, it’s clear that this is Matthew’s movie – we can only hope this means more crime thriller leading man roles for him in the future!

McConaughey’s street-savvy, nonconformist character got us thinking: how many other lawyers have found themselves practicing under unconventional or uncomfortable circumstances? What have their most difficult clients forced them to do? What have they put themselves through to solidify their place in the law profession? We spoke to three real-life lawyers, who shed some light on the subject.

Jennifer Lawrence, prepare yourself for "The Hunger Games."

A long casting search has officially come to an end. After weeks and months of feverish speculation over which young actress would land the coveted role of Katniss Everdeen, Lionsgate Entertainment has exclusively confirmed to MTV News that the "Winter's Bone" actress has officially signed on for the lead role in "The Hunger Games," director Gary Ross' adaptation of the fan-favorite novel series from writer Suzanne Collins.

"Jennifer’s just an incredible actress. So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave," Collins said of the casting in an official statement. "I never thought we’d find somebody this perfect for the role. And I can’t wait for everyone to see her play it.”

At some time around 7:30pm EST tonight, we'll have our first look at new footage from the last "Harry Potter" movie ever. But until then, here's a nice teaser image to get you in the mood!

SnitchSeeker posted the image, which shows Harry high up on a platform in a scene similar to this one from the trailer. When it comes to how Harry got out of the ties that bound him and ended up facing off with Voldemort, we'll probably have to wait until the film comes out, but maybe Warner Bros. released this photo today for a specific reason.

Wolverine has a remarkably gifted healing factor, but can "The Wolverine" recover from its latest wound?

Splash Page reports that Darren Aronofsky is parting ways with the film due to a lengthy production schedule that would have kept him out of the United States for nearly a year. Fox and leading man Hugh Jackman have pledged to aggressively seek a new director. We hope that Aronofsky's vision stays with the project despite the shift in leadership, much like Guillermo del Toro's work has stayed with "The Hobbit."

There's more movie news after the jump -- a "Firefly" star has joined "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," Stifler is feasting on "American Pie" and Joseph Kosinski's latest flick has succumbed to "Oblivion."

Oh, youth culture, with their love of all things Bieber and apparent lack of knowledge about any awesome movies from before 1985! When will they learn? Well, according to "Paul" stars and scribes Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, they'll learn a thing or two pretty soon if they -- and their little alien sidekick -- have anything to do about it.

MTV News sat down to chat with the collaborators about their latest effort, the sci-fi buddy comedy "Paul," and it seems while many who have seen the flick have caught its homages to the alien films that have come before it ("There's lots of tiny nods that are there for people to pick up on," Pegg promises, including, "A nice reference to Drew Barrymore's character in 'E.T.'"), it seems some of its younger viewers have been lost in space.

Frost told MTV that while meeting younger fans in London, he ran into a situation that would make any hardcore sci-fi junkie weep. "You mention 'Close Encounters [of the Third Kind]' or Chewbacca and they have no idea what you're talking about."
