After seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 for the second time today, I really could not help but be amazed at the production levels of every aspect of this film, especially when compared to the other films that have come out this year. Aside from Source Code, there has not been a single movie that is anywhere near as good as this in terms of production values. Which leads me to believe that DH part 2 might get a little Return of the King syndrome, since there are few good films this year, and since it really does deserve recognition for the series as a whole, if not just this film. 
 
However if there are three Oscars that I really hope it gets, regardless of what else happens: Best supporting actor for Alan Rickman (his performance was one of the best parts of the entire series), best visual effects ( they are always exceptional, yet they never win, but that Dragon was absolutely gorgeously rendered), and best score (Alexandre Desplat really made the score incredibly epic, which I really thought added a lot to the battle of Hogwarts). 
 
Does anyone think that it could clean up at the Oscars this year, or will it coming out in July hurt its Oscar chances, or does it not even deserve any recognition at all?

Despite having a higher rating than any of the Best Picture nominations last year. I don't think it's going to win anything.
