On Monday, November 15th I was lucky enough to be able to go to a screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I before the premiere that night. It has been really hard holding my tongue until today, but as per WB’s online embargo I’ve had to hold my review until today, the 19th. So first things first, this review will have major spoilers and these are my own thoughts about the film (they are a bit jumbled and random, so bear with me).
This film is definitely my favorite of all seven Potter movies so far. It is so emotional and the cinematography is perfect! I experienced so many different emotions while watching the film, which in my book is what makes the perfect movie. I laughed, cried, was terrified, angry and so much more.
Thanks to TeenDaily we have some photos of Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I in Tokyo, Japan. There is also a video online from the press conference.
In a new interview David Yates talks about Deathly Hallows and more specifically the darker moments of the film, including the scene where Bellatrix tortures Hermione.
Q. What preparation and approach did you use for Hermione’s torture scene?
Yates: Emma wanted to do research. She was really keen to get it right. It seemed like a really bizarre request, but I asked my assistant to find some documentaries where people talk about what it’s like to be tortured. I didn’t shoot it like a scene where you [say] action [and] cut. I kind of let the camera roll for four or five minutes and I let Helena and Emma improvise to a certain extent those moments, so they could build an intensity together.
Q. What was Watson’s reaction?
Yates: The first time we did it, I [did] yell cut. Emma said, ‘You cut too early! You cut too early!’ She was getting to this intense point. And I said, ‘Well, it was getting scary, Ems!’ And she said, ‘No no no no, let me try, let me try.’ There were one or two moments that were really powerful, where Emma was able to just let go a little bit and forget for a moment that she was acting. And the screams were quite horrible to listen to. It was a very odd energy in the room. She was kind of exploring and exorcising demons really, and serving the scene doing that. I felt in that moment, and in that day and in that room, she kind of crossed the line as an actress. She discovered something within herself that will make her a great actor.
