As I posted last month, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II and various cast members were long-listed for the 2012 Peoples Choice Awards. Today the final nominees have been announced and many of the Potter stars have been nominated. Vote for your favorites at this link! Good luck Deathly Hallows, Emma, Dan, Rupert and Tom!
A couple more new videos from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II DVD have been released. The first comes from Marie Claire UK and shows a clip from The Women of Harry Potter feature where Bonnie Wright and J.K. Rowling talk about McGonagall.
The second is another clip from Harry Potter: The Quest; it goes behind the scenes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts I and II. In this video Warwick Davis takes us on a tour through Leavesden Studios.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part IIcomes out on DVD on November 11th and may be pre-ordered at the following links:
Den of Geek have posted a new article where they interviewed Tom Felton, Julie Walters, Warwick Davis, The Phelps’, Bonnie Wright and Natalia Tena at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London at Leavesden Studios. They all talk about the upcoming attraction and their favorite parts.
Can you tell us which props won’t be on display on the tour because they’re on your mantle pieces?
Julie Walters: Nothing.
Oliver Phelps: They’re all there.
James Phelps: Everyone wanted a wand, and we were hoping on the last day they’d see “You take that with you”.
OP: We were dropping hints…
JP: But when all the bigwigs from Warner Bros were over we kind of “It’d be nice to have our wands wouldn’t it?” and they were like, “Yeah, it would be good wouldn’t it” but that was it.
JW: That was the end of it.
It’s an outrage. So, which is the prop or set that impressed you the most? Is it the wands?
JW: The Weasley set of course. I wanted to live in it, it was like a home. It didn’t feel like a set, it was gorgeous, you couldn’t be on there long enough, the detail was enormous.
Bonnie Wright: One thing I wonder if they’ll ever show, was in Stuart Craig’s office above his desk he had this great drawing, just plain paper and felt tip pen, the first time that Jo and he met to sit down and discuss, she just did a really simple, simple map, like Hagrid’s house, Hogwarts, lake, Quidditch Pitch. It was literally just her drawing of where she knew in her mind where it was all going to be. It was above his desk throughout the whole film.
Voting has begun for Portrait Magazine‘s Top 30 Under 30 poll and the Harry Potter Cst is on the list! Currently they have 2% of the votes and are in 12th place. Let’s get them to number one because the person or group with the most votes will appear on the December cover! I’m not sure who they are counting as the “Harry Potter Cast” but I assume it would at least be Dan, Emma, Rupert and Tom. I’ve asked for confirmation on who would be included, so if I get that information I’ll update the post. UPDATE: Okay, the list includes: Daniel, Emma, Rupert, Tom, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, the Phelps Brothers, and Bonnie Wright. There could also be others such as Katie Leung and Alfie Enoch but that will be decided at the end of voting.
The entire Top 30 will be featured in the issue. Voting lasts through November 23, and you can vote as often as you like. The FAQs for the voting may be read here.
Last night Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II won the Hollywood Movie of the Year at the Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala. Tom Felton was there to accept the award and some photos may be viewed at Feltbeats!
Picking up the award on behalf of the crew was Tom Felton who played one of the villains in the movie. Thanking the fans, the organization and everyone involved in the film, once again the star reminded everyone just how humble they were for the opportunity to be part of a major movie franchise.
Warner Bros Insider Rewards has released a new behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Room of Requirement scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. The video shows Tom Felton talking about filming the part where he and Blaise (played by Louis Cordice) almost fall off a pile of stuff in the Room of Requirement.
