Last night Chris Rankin updated his Twitter account with some very very exciting news. He said:
in the hotel, excited for filming in the morrow, but not excited for the 5am wake-up call… 43 principal cast on set tomorrow…!
This is only an assumption but I, and many others, are guessing this means that the Battle of Hogwarts scene is being filmed! We also know via Twitter that Matthew Lewis, James and Oliver Phelps, and Warwick Davis are also on set this week! Matt had also mentioned the following on his twitter on Tuesday:
Well that was an awfully short day at work. Rest of the week won’t be as easy if this morning’s rehearsal was anything to go by. Love it.
As I posted last month there are a TON of Special Features on the Half-Blood Prince DVD. More of the features have been released.
Close-Up With The Cast of Harry Potter (trt: 28:30) (Hosts Matthew Lewis (“Neville Longbottom”) and Alfred Enoch (“Dean Thomas”) lead us on an entertaining look at the cast of Harry Potter as they explore their interests away from acting and spend a day on set with the production team.)
Editing with Daniel Radcliffe: Daniel and editor Mark Day have a light-hearted conversation about film editing and how to get the right shot for a scene
Special Effects with Matthew Lewis, Oliver Phelps and Tom Felton: The guys get a “science lesson” from Special Effects Supervisor John Richardson and technician Matthew Harlow.
Owl Training with Jessie Cave: Jessie heads outside for training tips with “hootie” and owl trainer Guillaume Grange.
Stunt Training with Rupert Grint: Rupert shows off his thrill for danger with the stunt department.
Costume Designs with Evanna Lynch: Evanna shares her jewelry designs with Costume Designer Jany Temime.
Art with Bonnie Wright: Bonnie and graphic designer Eduardo Lima show off the fun props, products and set designs.
Behind the Camera with James Phelps: In his debut performance in the assistant director department, James actually becomes a crew member on set.
Make-Up with Emma Watson: Emma and designer Amanda Knight talk about the biggest challenges on this year’s film.
Today Oliver Phelps, George Weasley, posted a very interesting tweet! If you have read Deathly Hallows you will know what his holiness means 😉
OliverPhelpsWicked days filming today. I can say I am the first actor in the UK to have a VFX MOVA facial capture scan. Exciting technology.
Very cool, I can’t wait to see it in the film, even though it will be very sad.
UPDATE: Hmm, apparently there have been previous reports about this type of special effect and this technology will be used for the Seven Potters as the actors all will be undergoing scans to have molds made of faces as they Polyjuice into Harry. But it could be for both Holey George and the Seven Potters scene
According to Oliver Phelps and James Phelps there is some night shooting going on for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows tonight! My guess is that it’s the Seven Potters scene, but its only a guess.
Off to do a night shoot. Lovely evening for it. And the golf today went well. (Oliver)
Great day for golfing…not a bad idea before night shoots (James)
A bunch of Potter stars updated their Twitter’s today saying they were on the Deathly Hallows set or talked about the film, so I thought it would be fun to post them!
WarwickADavis – Went to Leavesden today. Saw my friend @TomFelton. What a thoroughly nice chap he is. (Aug 11)
