Today we have a new promotional photos from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows courtesy of Oclumencia! The photo is a high quality photo of Hermione in her room.
The December issue of SFX magazine will feature a Deathly Hallows set report and will contain interviews with the cast. Some quotes have been released early on the magazines website. You may view the cover of the magazine in the gallery!
““[Director] David Yates asked Steve Kloves to write this lovely scene at the beginning of the movie which is not in the book, but which I feel is very important for Hermione’s character. You see her wiping her parents’ memories in order for her to start off on the adventure with Ron and Harry. She knows that Voldemort could try to use her parents as a device to get to her in some way, which means they might be in harm’s way. So she wipes their memories so they forget she ever existed. All the photos of her around the house disappear. It’s a really tough way for the film to start but really important to see the sacrifices that she has to make.”
A major behind-the-scenes feature in the new SFX also reveals that Rupert Grint’s stubble was real (“They did experiment with sticking bits of hair on my face, but it didn’t really work…”), that Warwick Davies helped cast 60 goblins for a scene in Gringotts and that the final film makes more of the ultimate Harry/Voldemort confrontation than in the book.
The issue will be on stands November 17th. Thanks SS!
The official Harry Potter UK Facebook has released a few new questions/answers from Tm Felton, Bonnie Wright and Matthew Lewis as part of their countdown to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
What is it like working with on screen legends such as Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith?
“What was it like to work with some of the amazing British actors that play the older characters?”
Bonnie Wright: “ A dream come true – I watch everything they do – they all have such individual styles!”
Tom Felton tells us how much he appreciates the Harry Potter fans in another of our Fan Q & As!
“Did you ever think, when filming the first film, that the series would become the phenomenon that it has?”
Tom Felton: “Of course not! I had no idea that we would be still filming ten years later! It’s incredible that the fans have kept us all going so long…I am very grateful for them.”
Time for Friday fun with another of our Fan Q&As! Could it be your question which is answered today?
“If you could have befriended one character in real life, who would it have been?” After some thought,
Matthew Lewis: “Probably Ron Weasley. He’s a funny guy who always has a laugh and says it like it is. A bit like Rupert Grint!”
