Rupert spoke to the Press Association about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows filming and the epilogue!

Asked who he would like to play him as an older man, Rupert said: “I think they’re going to go down the route of using make-up to make us look older, ’cause it’s only 20 years, we won’t have changed too much.”

The final scene sees Harry married to Ginny Weasley, played by Bonnie Wright, and Hermione and Ron married. Rupert admits filming the last instalment of the franchise has been emotional.

Speaking at the Empire Awards, he said: “We’re approaching the last few weeks, I think it will be quite a sad one, but it’s been so long, I think we’ll get over it. We’ll stay in touch.”

Thanks RupertGrint.net!

Bloomsbury’s Harry Potter website has been updated to show us that they have designed new covers for all the Harry Potter books and have entitled them “The Signature Look”.  How weird is it that the day after I post my cover redesigns that Bloomsbury releases their own!?

The new books will be released on November 1st, I know I will be purchasing them! According to The Bookseller:

The new “Signature” livery was created by Webb and Webb Design Limited, with illustrations by linocut artist Clare Melinsky on the front cover, back cover and spine, to “appeal to the next generation of readers who did not ‘grow up’ with Harry Potter and who have not yet experienced the thrill of life at Hogwarts”, according to the publisher.Melinsky said: “I was delighted and excited to be asked to illustrate the covers for such massively famous books—and seven of them! It was top secret for the best part of a year.”
