Of course, the question is whether or not the Harry Potter franchise has the quality, prestige and appeal to connect with Academy voters. The third installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy not only took home Best Picture, but also 10 other Oscars, tying with Titanic for the most for one film. The idea is that such a reward would moreso stand as praise for the entire franchise, a concept that is believed to have helped Return of the King at the Academy Awards back in 2003. Apparently WB is prepared to "absolutely, hands-down, across-the-board" launch a big Oscar campaign for the film to be considered for the honor. According to Variety, the studio is going to make a big push for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II to snag a Best Picture nomination. With the epic conclusion to the eight-film franchise passing $1 billion at the box office, Warner Bros now has their eyes on an even bigger prize.
