Bill Nighy Talks Deathly Hallows
Posted by Megs

The Daily Record has a new interview with Bill Nighy who will be playing Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour in Deathly Hallows!  In the interview he talks about one scene I know everyone is looking forward to seeing!

One part Bill won’t mind being scared about is Rufus Scrimgeour, the Minister for Magic in the final two Harry Potter movies – Deathly Hallows Part 1 and II.  He is currently filming the second, in which his character becomes a father figure to Harry, Hermione and Ron after the death of Dumbledore. Part 1 will be released in November next year with the final Potter film, due out in July 2011.

“Scrimgeour is a tragic figure,” said Bill. “He knows what’s coming. It’s a very moving thing to play. He’s also very powerful and has had a very complicated progress to the top. And he has an interesting relationship with Harry, who views him initially with contempt. But then it’s softened by subsequent events. There’s a scene where he delivers Dumbledore’s legacy to the three children. He gives them all the things Dumbledore has left them, and that’s when it’s indicated he may not be around for much longer.”

Thanks SS!

Menswear store makes shirts & ties for Deathly Hallows
Posted by Megs

The Huddersfield Daily Examiner is reporting that Laurie Hopkins Menswear was asked to make shirts and black ties for the Deathly Hallows movie! Michael Hopkins, a partner in the business, said:

“The costume department on the film wanted the shirts for some police or soldier-style characters. They found them on our site and the call came three months ago, but we kept it to ourselves. They were asking how many we could supply and the number they required was over 100. They took delivery six weeks ago and they’ve just given us another order for 25 more, as well as 80 black ties.”

“They were very easy people to work with, absolutely excellent. I was interested to see that when they sent a payment the account is made up in the name of the film. There’s no little subsidiary, it very clearly says the account is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The fact that they came back and asked for more must mean they’ve been happy with the service we provided. I’m hoping that we’ve built up a bit of a rapport with them and it might lead to more.”“Who knows”?

Thanks to SS for the news!

BD Live News!
Posted by Megs

As many of you probably know, the BD Live Event where fans can watch the Blu-Ray with Dan and David Yates (now David Barron as Yates is ill) is taking place right now.  A few Potter sites were able to watch the event and have been Tweeting updates about it.  Some of the more exciting things are as follows:

  • Dan and David confirmed that the five actors, Dan, Rupert, Bonnie, Emma, and Tom, will play their adult selves in the epilogue. (via SS)
  • On Deathly Hallows filming, Barron said that filming will end around late-spring early-summer, then there’s the dubbing stage, and post-production. They will be doing work on it for another year, at least. There are plans for Leavesden after the movies are done. (via SS)

Fiona Shaw back in DH!
Posted by Megs

Back in August it was confirmed that Harry Melling and Richard Griffiths would be returning as Dudley and Vernon Dursley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. TimesOnline has confirmed that Fiona Shaw will be returning to play Petunia.

Oh, and there are the last Harry Potters to film. It’s a breathless schedule and she barely draws breath relating it, or much else, during our lunch. Thoughts and words flit, germinate, scatter.
