The Press Association has a new interview with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows actor Guy Henry. Guy will be playing the new Minister of Magic Pius Thicknesse.
Speaking at the press night of West End show All My Sons, the actor said: “It’s like the invasion of a small country, the schedule. I don’t know how they get it all together.”
He went on: “David Yates, the director, goes rushing from one unit to another, directing one scene with one bunch of actors and then to another scene from the other movie with another bunch of actors. If he ever has a break he goes to the editing suite and starts editing the first film so it’s ready for Christmas. I’ve never seen anything like it.” The 49-year-old said he feels “very fortunate” to be part of the movie franchise, which is coming to an end.
He said of Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with whom he had some scenes, “He’s a gent of the first water. He’s delightful.”
EA, the makers of the Harry Potter video games, have released a bunch of new promos and information about the Deathly Hallows video game! Firstly there is a press release letting us know that there will be TWO games, one for Part I and another for Part II. You can also watch the first trailer for the game below.
Part one will be released this autumn on “all major gaming platforms”, says EA, and represents “a shift in tone” for the Harry Potter games because it’s the first that will take place outside of Hogwarts. “On the run with a horde of merciless enemies on their tail, players will find themselves in unknown territory, far from the safety of the school grounds, fighting for survival at every turn,” reads the official blurb. The first part will be an action-packed affair, the publisher promises, with creatures from previous films as well as the upcoming adversaries in the seventh adventure. “The final Harry Potter adventure has given us the opportunity to make a darker and more action-oriented game than we have before,” said EA Bright Light VP, Jonathan Bunney of the game.
Thanks to dhmoviepics we have high resolution photos of the Deathly Hallows epilogue photos released earlier today. There is also a new picture of Tom Felton’s girlfriend, Jade Gordon as Astoria Greengrass.
Inside the Magic has posted a bunch of photos of merchandise that you can buy at Universal Orlando stores at Orlando International Airport and I assume The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You can see the photos over at their site here!
The official Universal Orlando stores at Orlando International Airport have received Wizarding World makeovers and offer many of the same exclusive pieces of merchandise that are otherwise only available in the Islands of Adventure theme park.
There are two Universal Orlando stores within the airport and both have been almost completely taken over by the Wizarding World. Decorations include owl cages, stacked dusty books, and displays with brooms to pose for pictures with. Available merchandise ranges from character magic wands (including Harry Potter’s, Hermione Granger’s, Ron Weasley’s, Dumbledore’s, and even Voldemort’s) and Hogwarts shirts to Remembralls and Honeydukes lollipops.
These Universal Orlando airport stores are accessible without passing through any security checkpoints, so anyone interested in picking up some Wizarding World of Harry Potter merchandise before the grand opening can now head to Orlando International Airport to get it.
Parking is available in the main terminal garage parking at a rather reasonable price: The first 20 minutes are free, then it costs $2 for 21 to 40 minutes and $1 for each additional 20 minutes up to a $17 maximum. So if you spend an hour in the stores, parking will cost just $3. I’m sure the amount of Wizarding World merchandise you leave with will cost a whole lot more than that.
Premiere.fr has released a bunch of new photos from the epilogue filming featuring Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Jade Gordon (Tom’s girlfriend) and Daniel Radcliffe.
We have some more photos from the Deathly Hallows epilogue today! Probably the most exciting is a photo of who we think is Jade as Astoria Greengrass, Draco Malfoy’s wife. You can see a photo of her here! We also have more photos of Hermione and Draco!
