It's okay. Let it out. There's nothing wrong with crying, especially if you've just watched the first official trailer for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," which was released late last night.

Yes, after ten excellent years, the epic story of the Boy Who Lived comes to its natural conclusion with this summer's second half of "Deathly Hallows." The trailer is filled with magical moments designed to delight and dismay, bringing about no small amount of bittersweet emotions from the series' many fans — and that's exactly how Daniel Radcliffe wants it.

We caught up with Dan a few weeks back while he was promoting his turn on Broadway's "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," and he told us he was happy to hear that the "Potter" fans have been crying in response to "Deathly Hallows" footage and test screenings.

With a slate of midnight screenings planned in some cities, we’re less than twenty-four hours from the American debut of “Fast Five.” And as the starting pistol is readied, we’re in the final stretch as we cover the fourth movie in the franchise: “Fast & Furious.”

After two sequels and eight years, “The Fast and the Furious” franchise went from the West Coast to the East Coast – and then onto the Pacific Rim – but it was now time to come back home. This fourth film, simply titled “Fast & Furious,” saw the first full-scale reunion of the original cast since the original in 2001: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster. Although the previous two films carried on the franchise, this fourth outing was the first real sequel to the story the street gang set up in the first place.

Voldemort keeps yapping about how only he can live forever, but come on, that's simply not true — even if things don't work out for the Boy Who Lived, the legend of "Harry Potter" can never die.

That point was only driven home further like a beater knocking a bludger miles outside of the Quidditch field with the release of the first official trailer for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," the latest, greatest and last entry in the long-running fantasy series. That's right, J.K. Rowling's epic tale of witchcraft and wizardry is about to come to an end… and as the Dark Lord warns, it won't end without a bang.

But what a bang! If the trailer was any indication, there's a lot of good stuff to look forward to when "Deathly Hallows" wraps up a decade's worth of magical mayhem this July. Narrowing down exactly what it is we're most looking forward to is harder than passing the N.E.W.T.s, but we're always up for a challenge.

So wands at the ready, dear readers, because after the jump, we're asking you to vote on your favorite moment from the "Deathly Hallows Part 2" trailer!

Justin Bieber. Mark Wahlberg. On the basketball court. Say hi to your mother for me, alright?!

No, this isn't a weird "Clue" spinoff we're engaging in. Instead, it's the premise of a new basketball drama starring the "Never Say Never" sensation and the superstar actor and producer behind "Entourage" and "The Fighter." Deadline has the news, saying that Wahlberg will produce and co-star in a b-ball movie with Bieber that's described as "The Color of Money" meets "The Karate Kid." Baby, baby, baby ooh indeed.

There's much more casting news today beyond Wahlberg and Bieber's full court press. After the jump, learn who's reportedly in talks for "The Lone Ranger" (hint: not Ryan Gosling) and the identity of one of Superman's newest foes!

Tom Felton is about to have a very big summer.

In addition to wrapping up his work in the "Harry Potter" series in July — hey, how 'bout that "Deathly Hallows Part 2" trailer, by the by? — he's also got another huge project on the horizon: "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," the upcoming "Planet of the Apes" prequel that many people had written off until they witnessed the breathtaking work of WETA Workshop in the trailer released a few weeks ago.

"A lot of people, when you say 'Apes,' they think of Tim Burton's one and that that is what this one is going to be like. It couldn't be further from the truth," Felton told MTV News when we hit him up as part of our Summer Movie Preview week. "This movie is set in the world that we know, rather than some alien planet. It's not that it's scary, but it is so much more realistic. There's a real sense that it could actually happen."

Oh my goodness, let's talk about that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" trailer.

First of all, were we right or were we right when we guessed what would make it into the final trailer? What we didn't allow ourselves the glimmer of hope of anticipating, though, was just how fantastically Warner Bros. would nail what we so desperately wanted to see. The trailer was ripe full of great scenes like Snape's flashbacks (of Lily especially), the battle at Hogwarts and all our favorite characters like Tonks and Molly Weasley that we haven't seen in far too long. Epic would be an understatement in describing this one.

After the jump, we take a look at our favorite moments from the trailer that we have watched over and over again since its premiere.

So far, 2011 hasn't been a huge year at the box-office, but it's certainly been a big one for movie trailers. From the continually surprising "X-Men: First Class" to the deeply moving "Super 8," we've seen a lot of excellent trailers so far this year — but my very favorite of them all belongs to "The Devil's Double."

Dominic Cooper stars in the Lee Tamahori-directed gangster thriller as Uday Hussein, the self-serving and sadistic son of Saddam, and Latif Yahia, his reluctant body double. The just-released trailer for the film boasts an undeniable presence, filled with pulse-pounding music, flashy editing and one hell of a performance from Cooper. If you haven't seen it yet, you can check it out past the jump.

I had the chance to chat with Dominic as part of MTV's Summer Movie Preview week, and he told me that as much as he tried, he was never able to empathize with the sadistic Uday during the making of "Devil's Double."

How do you follow up eight years as a U.S. governor? If you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, you go back to doing what you love –– being humanity's favorite killing machine.

That's right, the ex-Governator is returning to the "Terminator" role that helped make him a big action star and John Connor's number one buddy. Though Arnold's big screen comeback still doesn't have a script or a studio, "Fast Five" director Justin Lin has already called dibs on the project's driver's seat.

The Terminator would be a great action-packed role for Schwarzenegger to revisit –– and who doesn't want to see humanity saved from the machines again? –– but we humbly submit these other five roles for Arnold to consider revisiting in the meantime.
