The Fall preview issue of Entertainment Weekly will have a feature on the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films and the cover is now online featuring Harry holding Draco’s wand. There is also a preview of the feature on the EW site.
“I’m ready to kind of move on now, I think,” Grint said between takes. “This film is a great way to finish the whole era, and it’s going to be sad, because obviously all my friends are here, but 10 years is enough.” The three of them were shooting a scene in the Room of Requirement in which Harry, Ron, and Hermione are searching for a horcrux — in this case, the tiara-like Ravenclaw diadem. Watson and Grint were both sopping wet. (In the film, Ron and Hermione have recently destroyed another horcrux in water and were pursued by a Voldemort-shaped tsunami.) Grint and Watson were kept soaked by crew members, who sprayed the pair down every few minutes. It was not making Watson happy. “It’s been this way for weeks,” she said, shivering next to a space heater. “I hate to sound whiny, but it’s horrible. It’s miserable being wet all the time.” She shrugged and added flatly: “But, you know, I was told it will look very dramatic when you see the films, so it will be worth it.”
Radcliffe, meanwhile, seemed to be in a tug-of-war with himself about finishing his run as Harry Potter. “This film has been hard to make, and I’ve had some of the most trying moments, both physically and mentally, than ever before,” he said. “I wasn’t entirely thrilled with my performance in Half-Blood [Prince] — I found it quite same-y, and didn’t think there was enough variation in it — so I’ve worked hard to make sure that if the seventh film comes out and I’m still unhappy with it, I’ll know it won’t be from lack of trying.”
The issue of Entertainment Weekly will be out tomorrow and I will try to get the magazine so we can have some scans, but I don’t know if I will be able to. Warner Bros. have also announced that High Resolution photos from the issue will be released on Monday!

Thanks to my friends at HP4U we can now share with you some details about the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows wrap party. Read their full report and all the photos, here! You may also see the photos from the event in our galleries!!
Ok, so most important I guess is that in attendance of course were Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Emma looked stunning as always, quite often going unnoticed with her new look, Daniel was just Daniel! – more than happy to chat, sign, have his photo taken with fans, and Rupert was as laid back as always, on this occasion flying in after a well deserved holiday and arriving in style in his brand new super car which is a stunning and super cool Audi, enough said on that, except to say…………….. Go easy Rupert!! remember the premiums!!
Whilst the food was delicious, the fact that we were sat having lunch alongside David Heyman and David Bradley, whilst the brilliant Jarvis Cocker mixed tracks and was resident DJ on the stage was rather surreal; save the fact that Alan Rickman, Mathew Lewis, so many of the stars, who would have ordinarily not have been able to spend much time together were walking around and having fun was even more of an experience never to forget.
Once we made it out back onto the runway, where hundreds of guests were dancing, it was quite simply a who’s who of some of Britain’s finest Actors and Actresses, all of whom have worked on the Potter films, and all more than happy to chat, joke, share a photo and sign a few souvenirs. John Hurt (how cool it was to see John Hurt here!!!) Jim Broadbent, Mark Williams, Mathew Lewis, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs, David Legeno, Bonnie Wright, Afshad Azan, James and Oliver Phelps, Suzie Toase, Ralph Inerson, Natalia Tena, Nick Moran (Scabior (and now acclaimed writer and Director of the Kid)), Jessie Cave, Geraldine Somerville, David Baron, David Thewlis, Alan Rickman & of course, Daniel, Rupert and Emma. These were just the few we got to talk to!!! And there might well have been more. Sadly JK Rowling did not attend, or if she did we missed her.
Publishers Heye Kalendar have released a new photo of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2011 calendar featuring Harry, Ron and Hermione. You may see the photo in our galleries!
