HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 Tonight, ITV, 6.20pm

WHEN we catch up with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, pictured), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), they are still on the hunt for horcruxes, the objects in which Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has hidden parts of his soul to render him immortal. Unfortunat­ely, the dark lord has worked out what they’re up to and amasses his followers for one final showdown at Hogwarts. If you thought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 could have done with a little more magic and a little less teenage angst, never fear – the brains behind the movie saga were saving up all the action for Part 2. A hugely satisfying conclusion.
