While Warner Bros. has never pushed the comparison, the entire Potter saga -- both the books and the movies -- has had an inevitable subtext, colored by the events of 9/11.

While Hollywood scrambles to figure out ways to exploit the death of Osama Bin Laden on screen, the first movie that could actually benefit from the news of the terrorist’s death is likely to be the final Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which Warners will release on July 15.
