Mike Edmonds has reported that he will play a Gringotts goblin in Deathly Hallows, and will begin filming this October alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Helena Bonham Carter and Warwick Davis.
I start filming for Harry Potter in October and I’m really looking forward to it.
Thanks to SS we have an update on the Deathly Hallows casting I posted about yesterday. Neither Death Eater has a name but Paul Khanna is credited as ‘Death Eater 5’. He has uploaded one of his audition tapes to YouTube.
Paul Khanna and Jon Campling have been cast as Death Eaters in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts I and II. We don’t know which characters they are playing as of yet, but I will update when we find out!
Deathly Hallows Part I has made it onto the Internet Movie Database’s Power of Film: 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010 list. Film 7 comes in at second place, ranked by users of the MOVIEmeter. It is at second place only after Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (WOO!).
No photos yet (that’s Harry and Hermoine from Half-Blood Prince), but fans are already clamoring for the first half of the last part of the magical Potter saga.
Two fans had the chance to visit the Deathly Hallows set and they have posted a report online! It is VERY long, so here are a few highlights!
On to the sets. Words will not adequately describe the awesomeness of this (or any of the visit really). The first thing we saw was the Room of Requirement, similar to what we saw in Half Blood Prince. Stacks upon stacks of furniture, books, potions and whatnot (including several chess pieces from Philosopher’s Stone) were everywhere. Here we got to see a bit of filming that involved the stunt doubles for Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Louis Cordice (Blaise Zabini). They were perched atop one of the stacks of furniture and rigged into a harness. Just to the right of these guys, but not used in this scene, was Hagrid/Sirius’ flying motorbike mounted on a rig and lifted off the ground.
After the tour, we went to the canteen to have lunch with our guide and the rest of the crew. While there, our heads were whipping left and right as we saw Rupert, James and Oliver (one of which had a bandage over his head and ear), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Emma, Tom, Bonnie and Evanna (both sporting hair nets so as not to mess up their ornate hair… presumably for the wedding scene about to be filmed), Stan (Krum… who sat at the table next to us and ate lunch by himself), Warwick Davis and his son, Domhnall Gleeson (had prosthetic scars on the left side of his face), several wedding guests and actor’s doubles. One of those was, we firmly believe, was Xenophilius’ double. He was wearing mustard colored corduroys, a pale shirt with a yellow waist coat over the top that was covered in flowers and shoulder length blondish-white hair. I didn’t get a close enough look to see if he was sporting the Deathly Hallows symbol or not. Booo.
