The first image from 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' sees Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson trade their wizard robes with casual outfits.

Warner Bros. has finally released the first look into "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the adaptation of the last book in J.K. Rowling's boy wizard series. Coming out courtesy of USA Today, the picture exposes the film's three major stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, in casual outfit.

While the image doesn't tease on any action to be seen from the movie, it does highlight on Harry, Ron and Hermione making their way in the Muggle world. Away from Hogwarts as they prepare for the ultimate war with the evil Lord Voldemort, the trio is captured in the photo roaming near Piccadilly Circus in London.

To the publication, Grint took the liberty in explaining what their characters are thinking in the situation. "They're paranoid," he said. "It's quite a scary world because the Snatchers and Death Eaters are running around everywhere. Harry, Ron and Hermione are just camping out in random places, living rough, in regular clothes."

Director David Yates, in the meantime, shared what to expect from the movie. "It's going to feel very real," he gushed on how real the film will feel like. "We're going for a verite approach. Being away from Hogwarts, they're like these three refugees on the run."

"They're out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts," the helmer further added. "They don't have a home to go to. We're kind of pulling away from the magic a bit and bringing more reality to it."

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the seventh and final book of "Harry Potter" series will be made into two movies, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II". "Part I" is due for November 19, 2010 release in both U.S. and U.K., whereas "Part II" has been set for July 15, 2011 release.
