Deathly Hallows Set Report Roundup
Posted by Megs

Set reports from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows have started to appear online on various fan sites.  Here is a listing of the ones I have seen so far with a segment from each. There will be spoilers.

SnitchSeeker

Can you talk a little bit about the nude scene?
Dan Radcliffe: It’s not really a nude scene. I’ve done a nude scene (refers to Equus). There’s a fair amount of stripping off, but it’s only down to the pants [underwear], really, at the very most. There’s one scene where I have to because I’m jumping into a pool of ice. I’m jumping into this icy pool and, obviously, have to be in my pants for that. Jump in, locket tries to kill me and then Ron saves me at the last minute. I dress in a hurry. It’s not big, it doesn’t really worry me. It’s fine, and this time around they even heated the water, which was pretty nice. You felt cold out of the water, but when you’re in it, it’s pretty nice.

David Yates: “There’s this torturing with Bellatrix. Emma was really keen to do this torturing scene. I said ‘it will be really great, and we have to be really careful of how we do it. And [Emma] completely gave herself to the process. What we did was we set up a couple of cameras and Helena got on top of Emma. Basically she was writing ‘mudblood’ on her arm. She was scoring it into her skin.”

“We just let the whole thing roll for about three or four minutes. In that three or four minutes there were some good bits, and some not so good minutes. And there were one or two really powerful bits where Emma was able to just let go a little bit and forget that she was acting. She’s still acting, but she lost herself in this process for a moment. And the screams were quite horrible to listen to. On the stage, everyone felt uncomfortable. Everyone just sort of stepped back a bit. It was a very odd energy in the room because she was kind of exploring… exercising demons really. And serving the scene in doing that. It was really interesting.”

The Leaky Cauldron

Following the mindset of doing what is for the greatest benefit to the film, the “Deathly Hallows” producers and actors each feel a true sense of duty to hold true to the books.  “Jo [Rowling] gives us the opportunities in what she has put together in Hallows to do things that I didn’t do in “Half-Blood Prince” or “Order of the Phoenix,” Yates explains.  “She’s so imaginative, so I never feel like I’m making the same movie.

Barron reiterates, and speaks to the news that actor Jason Isaacs was able to craft a unique ending for his character at the end of the “Deathly Hallows” by saying, “Obviously, we discuss with the principal cast; they all are intelligent people, they all have views on what their character would or wouldn’t do or say.   Especially having been in for such a very long time, they really know their characters.  But, equally, we are servicing the book and so our objective is to make proper filming rendition of the book and we wouldn’t stray too far– it’s nuisances, really– we wouldn’t stray very far from what Jo has written because she has given the characters what she felt… if they needed an ending, she’s given them an ending.

Coming Soon

Q: What kind of action do you get to do?
Matthew Lewis: There’s a whole lot this year. We’ve just been rehearsing some stunts we’re doing next week. There’s an amazing bridge sequence that I don’t want to talk too much about, but there’s going to be some cool stuff in that and that’s going to be stunts of all kinds. We’ve got lots of running. I don’t know if you can see, but I fell over last week and have a scab on my knee there. Lots of running, lots of falling, lots of firing the wands off, lots of explosions and sometimes when you lose the wands, it’s more physical and that’s good. It’s just a bit of everything. It really feels like war.

Natalia Tena Talks Potter & More
Posted by Megs

In a new interview, Natalia Tena who plays Tonks, talked about Harry Potter and more!

One of the stars of the International Comic Salon Malaga was Natalia Tena, the actress who portrays Tonks in the last four films of the Harry Potter saga, including the two parts of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, to debut soon.

Tena, who have parents [emigrated] but has grown in Britain, plays a witch who can take the form of anything at any time. “If I had that power would transform me into an otter, because I love the water,” she said.

No wonder the claim because the liquid element appears to be present in many moments of her life. In fact, she came directly from the beach with flip flops and her clothing still wet. Still, she was “delighted to be with these people” and agreed to take photos with all of her fans.

The role of Tonks in Harry Potter came after spending time on the beach, but this time the coast of Ireland. “When I got up that morning I had the feeling that my agent would call me.”

Tena has recalled the “fun” was the shooting in which “ate, smoked and chatted” with all the actors in the hope “that could be every day.” Also, she said with praised, “I loved the make-up staff.”

Although their participation in the series is “something very big and exciting,” Tena has been happy with the fact that it is the end and she has time “to do other things.”

As well as keeping people’s feet busy, Natalia has also starred in Harry Potter (amongst other things). What was it like working with those folk and is Daniel Radcliffe really a sexually dubious mummy’s boy as per his Extras appearance?
Nat:
I got to pick my wand! It was very early mornings and lots of waiting interspersed with catching lots of jokes and riding on brooms. Daniel is banging and has enough energy to power rush-hour. The make-up ladies have brilliantly naughty laughs, especially Amanda and Sarah.

My werewolf husband in it, David Thewlis, reduced me to tears of hysteria various times before takes which were meant to be taken seriously and somewhere in Leavesden Studio is a plaster cast of my [bum]. Oh and Brendan Gleeson has the best hug, big arms you see.

We GOT TO PLAY THE WRAP PARTY!!!!! It was at the studio this summer, outside and just before we started playing the sky [hit] us with rain but it worked in our favour as everyone got on stage with us for cover and danced the [hell] out of it with us. There was a fairground for [eff’s] sake!!!! Epic. I wore blindness-inducing pink with lashes to match and the boys scrubbed up like desperate hookers. Burgers were good too.

Thanks SS!

More Deathly Hallows Posters
Posted by Megs

Today we have a few new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows posters featuring a burning Hogwarts.  These are all similar to posters we have seen but with some differences.  The first, thanks to ScarPotter, is an IMAX3D poster which you can see here!

The second is a super high resolution version of the earlier IMAX poster we had, found by me (so credit if taken). You can see that poster here.  (I actually had to shrink it because it was too big to put in the gallery.  I also found the poster without and words on it (just the HP7 logo), which you can see here.

See all the Deathly Hallows posters we have so far, here in the gallery!
