Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is the last film in the series – could it be the first one to win an Oscar? It will if Warner Brothers has its way. A new report reveals that the studio will go all-out this Oscar season.

Variety reports:

Studio is pulling out the stops to mount a best-picture campaign for the last installment of the “Harry Potter” franchise, taking a page from the “Lord of the Rings” playbook that New Line successfully employed to land the 2003 best picture Oscar for the trilogy’s final installment, “The Return of the King,” along with 10 other Oscars.

Warners will “absolutely, hands-down, across-the-board” push the last installment of “Harry Potter” hoping Academy members will consider a vote for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” as a wider nod to the entire franchise, a notion that very much helped propel “Return of the King” to Oscar glory.

While the Acad often shuns fantasy and kid fare, Warners believes it has a real shot at a nom given the pic’s emotional weight, capping a franchise that’s delivered more than $7 billion in worldwide B.O. and traced its stars from childhood to young adulthood. The best pic category has been tweaked this time around so that as few as five and as many as 10 titles will be nominated for the 84th edition.

So, do you think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 has a shot at winning whether or not Warner Brothers makes a push?
