Differences between potter fan & twilight fan

the main difference between twilight and potter is a twilight fan would prefer to meet robert pattinson over stephenie meyer, and a potter fan would rather meet jo rowling over daniel radcliffe.



harry potter fans bond together and try to make a difference worldwide, whereas twilight fans fight over who's hotter. you have team edward versus team jacob, so people are split. harry potter unites people and twilight divides them.

Confirmed DH: Part 2 Ending Reshoots

HitFix has some new quotes from Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) confirming that they are re-shooting parts of the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" epilogue at Christmas:

"We are re-shooting some parts of it," Radcliffe confirms. "It was an interesting one. I think we made it very hard on ourselves because we shot it at King's Cross for real. And this time we'll be shooting it at Leavesden on set. To have to rush that sequence and it's an important sequence, is not something any of us want to do." Radcliffe continued and reiterated, "It's a train station and people actually needed to use that platform. We made it very hard on ourselves and we really want a slightly slower, more measured pace next time."

Speaking at the "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" World Premiere in London last week, Emma Watson described filming in a real station as "stressful":

"I mean, you can imagine, we stopped trains when they said we could do the scene. I mean, we are special - we are 'Harry Potter,'" Watson says in an intentionally sarcastic and light-hearted tone. "We only had two days to shoot it and we needed so much more time than that. We have reshoots at Christmas."

glad to hear that Harry Potter is not over for them yet

LA Times Interviews the Costume Designer

Jany Temime, costume designer for "Deathly Hallows" (as well as "PoA," "GoF," "OotP," and "HBP") has spoken to the LA Times about the costumes in the wedding scene. Temime comments on the mood of that scene, and how it's the "last joyous moment in the franchise with all the battles, destruction and loss that follow":

“The film is so dark and the beginning of the really dark time, and it was the last opportunity to have something light and warm and funny and the last light tone before all the darkness,” Temime said. ”The terrible time follows. So it was very nice for us to give it the maximum. It’s like when you look at pictures of weddings right before the war. They look happy but there’s the edge to it, too. Like if you saw the film ‘The Deer Hunter’ and they had that wedding before everything got so dramatic. They are embracing life. When you are almost sure you are going to lose your life, you appreciate the moment and you live for the moment. That was my approach to that wedding scene of ours. Everyone is trying to get the maximum.”

Temime also discusses the design inspiration for Fleur's wedding dress:

“For the wedding dress, I wanted it to be a witch wedding dress but not a Halloween dress. The dress is white but it needed to have something fantastic to it. So there is the phoenix [motif], the bird, which is a symbol of love in a way because there is rebirth, love never dies, it is born again. So we have that in front of the dress to give a feeling of eternal love. It was the symbol of Dumbledore, too, but it is the symbol of love for the dress.”

Additionally, Temime comments on the overall aspects of creating costumes for witches and wizards:

“It’s a world parallel to us, it’s a secret society living next to the other world, our world. They have their way and their own culture but they cannot ignore the real world, they are next to it always. They constantly have access to it. So I looked at extreme cultures, or the fringe or the outsiders. Any parallel society, like the gypsies or political groups on the edge. They have their own way of doing things but they also live in 2010 and they cannot ignore what they see. So they have their pointed hats and their long robes and they have their couture, but they also have blue jeans. They have their traditions but they cannot ignore the modern world.”

I like this: Scholastic Interviews Dan & Emma

Scholastic has a new, very in-depth interview with Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) which covers a broad range of topics from the filming of "Deathly Hallows" to how they felt about the the film series coming to a conclusion. Both discuss the hardest action scene they had to film, and both mention scenes from "Deathly Hallows":

Q: In all the movies, there have been some amazing action sequences. What was the scariest stunt you had to do?
Emma: There's a scene where we're [trapped] in Gringott's Bank and Hermione has this crazy idea to jump on the back of a dragon. She's on this second story balcony and she jumps off the balcony onto the dragon's back and doing that stunt was terrifying because I essentially had to jump off—it was a mat that caught me—but just doing the jump and everything was pretty scary.

Q: Daniel, what was the hardest scene for you?
Daniel: To be honest, a lot of scenes I've completely forgotten about because you film something for 18 months, and if there's something in the trailer from the 1st month of filming, it's like, "Oh my God. I'd totally forgotten about the scene." I suppose getting beaten up by Ralph Fiennes [who plays Voldemort] in the 2nd part was physically quite demanding. What I love about that scene is that it's the moment that I've been wanting to happen for years. I've always wanted a moment when the magic is not enough and he just tries to kill Harry physically by beating him up. So that was a challenging scene, but I mean, there was a lot of physically challenging stuff in the film, but I love that. I love running up and down and falling over and getting hit around. I love all that.

Q: Who is your favorite character in this movie, other than Hermione?
Emma: I love Bellatrix. I think you will love Helena Bonham Carter [who plays Bellatrix] but just because she is so scary and crazy and evil and just the opposite of Hermione.

Both Watson and Radcliffe also discuss the make-up process for the Epilogue scene in "Deathly Hallows: Part 2":

Q: There is a lot of secrecy as to what your make-up looks like for the older versions of you. Can you tell us about what went into looking older?
Emma: It was a pretty lengthy process. I think it was like over 2 hours. But it was really subtle. They had like this thin film that they put on our faces which went into our wrinkles to make all of that happen. Really subtle details made a huge difference. I wore fake teeth and a wig, but it all looked really real, so it was cool.
Daniel: Obviously, I was concerned about the aging scene and I was concerned about how we were going to do it and everything, but I tell you the makeup looks fantastic. Particularly, I hate to say it, but I'm very pleased with my makeup. Harry ages much more flatteringly than Ron does. I think as soon as they presented Rupert with the fat suit he was like, "Make it bigger." We had great fun doing that scene and I think it turned out very well.


Q: What do you walk away with after 10 years, as an actor and as a person from the experience?
Daniel: As you said, 10 years, it's everything. I will never be able to watch one scene in any of these films without connecting it to the memory of that day on set or the memory of what was happening in my life. I walk away with a wealth of experience that actors would kill for in terms of the people I've been able to work with and watch and learn from, and the most amazing group of friends anybody could wish for, and I'm not just talking about the cast. So many of my best friends are in the crew, and these are people that I will know forever. I feel very, very lucky.

Q: Looking back, what one particular element would you redo?
Daniel: If I were young enough, I would probably go back and do the first 2 again. Because I still find those very embarrassing to watch. To be honest, I don't really look back on the films too much because I probably would just be sitting there going, "There is so much I want to change about what I've done."

Q: Do you have one standout memory from filming these movies?
Daniel: It's not necessarily my favorite memory because that would be too hard to choose, but one of the moments I had where I stepped back and thought, "No matter how long you act for in the rest of your career, you will probably never get something like this to happen again," was when I got to burst out of the water in the 6th film surrounded by a ring of fire. I think for a few years, I've taken for granted the fact that I get to play an action hero and it's very rare that actors get to do that and it's a lot of fun, so I'll miss that certainly.

Q: Emma wasn't able to change her hairstyle for 10 years because of filming so she cut off all of her hair after film wrap. Is there anything you weren't able to do because it conflicted with your character?
Daniel: Not particularly. I haven't really even cut my hair since we've finished filming to be honest. It's been growing and growing. I've always been. . . I was a lot less constricted than Emma has been probably in that respect.
Emma had sort of hinted that she was going to do that, so I wasn't as surprised as perhaps the rest of the world was, but I think she looks fantastic. It's a very, very cool haircut. But to be honest the girl could look pretty with a plastic bag over her head, you know. I mean, she's a beautiful girl, so any haircut I'm sure would look wonderful.

Q: Are there any souvenirs you took from the set?
Emma: Yeah, I took my wand, and I took my time turner, and I took a cloak, and that was about it really.

Q: Wizarding World of Harry Potter just opened and you had a chance to visit it. What was your favorite attraction?
Daniel: The dragon challenge. That was the best part. I did it 5 times. It was awesome. I was convinced that I wouldn't start feeling nauseous and then I really, really did, but it was just the coolest thing. I went on the front; I went on the back; I went at night. It was amazing. The Phelps twins (who play Fred and George) were on the other dragon and we saw our faces sort of steaming towards each other at 60 miles an hour almost gliding and then veering away sharply at the last minute. It was great.
Emma: Just stepping inside, they've done it on a small scale, so the level of detail is just amazing and it feels very authentic, which I was really relieved and impressed by. I loved the sweet shop because I'm big into sweets, oh sorry candy. The dragon ride was amazing— it was so good. I went on it like four times back to back. And also the themed ride; I actually got really emotional. Out of everything I was expecting to feel, I was not expecting to feel emotional, but I got really choked up because there's a hologram of the three of us that looks like we're actually standing there talking to you, which is really bizarre. The whole ride is a big going through taking all the best parts out of all the movies so it brought back so many memories for me, so that was cool.

Q: Emma, how would you describe Daniel and Rupert when you first met them and at the end of the series?
Emma: It's funny. It started out that Dan and I were the shy ones and Rupert was the talkative one, and then we seemed to swap. Rupert hardly speaks. You're lucky to get anything out of him these days, and then Dan and I do a lot more of the talking. Dan is really intelligent and very sweet, and Rupert just has a wicked sense of humor and he's very eccentric and very unique in the way that he does things. He's like a big kid. I feel like he'll never grow up, which I love.

Q: Have you ever had a young fan think that you really know magic?
Emma: Yeah, I've had kids be scared of me because I think they thought I was going to do something, which is kind of cute, which I love. It's so, so sad when kids lose their imagination.

Q: Would you ever date a Harry Potter fan?
Daniel: I wouldn't date someone because she was a Harry Potter fan. That would be, I think, the height of egomania. But yeah, absolutely, if the person in question would be able to see me as something other than Harry Potter, then I would see no reason, because the truth is most people are Harry Potter fans. It's hard to avoid them. Even girls I've been out with in the past have liked the films and loved the books, but it's certainly never been the focus of a relationship.

Additionally, both actors discussed a party Watson held to celebrate the end of filming all the Harry Potter movies:

Q: Emma, you threw a party for the whole cast on the last day. Can tell us about the festivities?
Emma: I threw a dinner. I just bought a new apartment in London. I tried to make it look really nice. I bought tons of flowers. I lit candles everywhere and everyone had place settings and I made food for everyone to come and eat and also I put together . . . I made like a book for everyone and I had silly questions like who was your first crush on the set? What was your best memory? What was your worst memory? Who was your favorite director? . . stuff like that, that's just really fun. And everyone had a piece of paper to write it all down, but we all discussed our answers and went around and listened to people's stories and what they remembered. It was just a really nostalgic evening basically, just all of us sharing stories. It was a really nice evening and it was warm weather, so we sat outside as well, and I bought disposable cameras for the tables, so everyone could use those, and it was just fun. It was just chill.
Daniel: It was lovely. It was fantastic. Emma cooked and she was very impressive. She was very much the hostess with the mostest. I've never had a dinner party in my life—the idea terrifies me, so I would have been so intimidated by that, but yeah, she got sort of the core of the young cast members and we all went round to her house and it was great. It was really, really nice, very dripping with nostalgia, all reminiscing about early days and how young and cute and innocent we all were. Yeah, it was a really, really good night and we were all very grateful. 'Cause to be honest with you, if you talked to me or Rupert, neither of us would have had the wherewithal to put together a dinner party, so the fact that she did was really appreciated.

Also, they were asked what they would do if J. K. Rowling decided to write another Harry Potter book:

Q: If J.K. Rowling called you up tomorrow and said, "I’m writing another book. I decided to come out of retirement and write more Harry Potter, would you want to star in that next movie?"
Emma: Oh my goodness. No, I wouldn't. It feels so complete what we've done. It would just be weird. No. No way. It would just be really strange.
Daniel: No, probably not is the answer because 10 years is enough. I think the films have reached a rather perfect and wonderful conclusion, and I have had assurances from [Rowling] that she will not be doing that.

Fan Site Interview: Dan Radcliffe Speaks About "Deathly Hallows: Part One"

This August, a number of Harry Potter fan sites were able to participate in a group chat with Dan Radcliffe in which the young actor spoke about his experiences filming in the "Deathly Hallows" film, particularly the Seven Potters scene; how moviegoers will experience the first film; and much more. This interview included discussion regarding the second part of "Deathly Hallows" which we will release closer to its release.

Enjoy!

~*~*~*~

Question: What was it like playing the other characters for the Seven Potters scene?

Dan Radcliffe: It was bizarre! Some [characters] were easier than others to kind of impersonate. The actor Andy, who plays Mundungus, was kind of the easiest because he has an idiosyncratic walk and way about him, so it was quite easy to imitate. But Rupert was very, very difficult because Rupert's got... you know, his walk. You wouldn't expect this about Rupert but you actually analyze it Rupert has a real wiggle in the hips when he walks. So he was one of the slightly unexpected. He was one of the slightly trickier ones, but it was great fun. I think it's gonna be a very funny - a very good scene as well, because normally when you see split screen stuff in films it's often the case that you can see the joint as it were, where its one actor playing two on screen at the same time... they don't really cross over in each other's space very often. Whereas, in this scene, the way we did it was very, very clever and brilliant so we could have everything overlapping. And, you know, it's an actor's dream there's seven of me on screen at one time. It's fantastic!

Q: How was it playing Hermione?

D: That was fun. The girls were very, very funny. I think the crew was slightly worried that I was walking around a little bit too confidently in those heels of Fleur's. [laughs] But it was very good fun.

Q: Entertainment Weekly announced the split point for Deathly Hallows [at the time of the interview], where Voldemort gains posession of the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb. I just wanted to know how long you've known about this split point, why this was chosen, and what your opinion is of this scene being chosen as the end of Part One?

D: Well, to be honest with you, Entertainment Weekly had been a little bit pre-emptive because we don't actually know where the split is going to be yet. I haven't actually heard that as one of places that it might be. That would seem, you know, as an option... that would be very appropriate and a very good, suspenseful moment to have. At the moment it's sort of within... in and around... sort of a few scenes difference of where it could be. I won't say where it might be yet in case I am proved very, very wrong. So I hate to disappoint you on that one.

Q: There was a strong rumor that it might be right before Malfoy Manor. Is there some truth in that without saying too much?

D: There is, but it could be ten scenes earlier or it could be ten scenes later. We genuinely don't know at the moment, I'm afraid.

[Readers will recall that Leaky confirmed with DH:1 Producer David Baron that the split occurs right after Voldemort gains procession of the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb.]

Q: You've had different looks... different hair... in the films. What is your favorite Harry look?

D: I would probably say the either the third film or the last one [Deathly Hallows]. I think those are the two which we've got the hair most right. And also, to be honest, my favorite time I ever look is when I'm covered in mud and blood and sweat. I think that's how I look best. It's obviously hard to achieve that look in day to day life, but it's certainly I think how I look sort of strongest. And I think with those kinds of scenes, it's weirdly helpful-- it does actually help you get into the character and get into the scene if you are covered in all that stuff. It's actually very helpful in terms of helping you in the performance.

Q: Some of us are looking at other interpretations - and Infinitus which just passed, there were some rather major fan films and musicals and so on. What would your reaction be to, you know, once the films are out and over, doing something like Harry Potter: The Musical for stage?

D: My reaction would be pretty negative to that. I think, you know, Harry Potter are books and there are films... and I mean, hey, a radio play could work. I don't know how it would be done as a musical. I'm ready to be proved wrong. But I think it's a bit of a long shot... and in my opinion it's not the kind of film that would make a good musical. I don't think it lends itself to those things, and I think it would be very hard to achieve a lot of hype. What am I trying to say here? Basically, if I'm being perfectly honest, I just don't think it would work and I don't think I would be particularly a big fan of that idea.

Q: What was the most challenging thing to film physically, and then the most challenging thing to film emotionally?

D: Overall in the films or in number seven?

Q: I would say number seven. Most fresh.

Dan: Physically? Well underwater stuff is always pretty tricky and in this case it was particularly tricky because there's a big fight scene and I'm going under in a frozen lake to get [the locket], and the Horcrux is fighting for its existence and it's trying to kill me. We do will be hopefully terrifying and sort of semi homage to "The Omen" where I'm dragged up against this bit of ice and sort of torn around by the locket. So that was pretty challenging. Other than that, the stuff actually in the Gringotts Bank... In the Lestrange vault where all the treasure is multiplying and multiplying. That was very hard because... the way we did it, we had moving platforms on the set. So that as the treasure multiplied, these platforms would move up and we'd have to struggle onto the next one and the next one. And, yeah, I don't think my calf muscles have ever worked quite so hard. So that was physically challenging scene.

Emotionally? I mean, all the stuff early on in the film. In the first part, with Rupert. I mean it's very hard-- as you all know-- to hate Rupert Grint in performance terms. So that was a challenge. But, hopefully, some really, really good scenes come out of it. Also all the scenes in Godric's Hollow where Harry sees his parent's tombstone. They were obviously big, emotional moments. And Harry being such a battle hardened, almost desensitized person at this stage, is dealing with emotion that he doesn't know how to show because he's buried emotion for so long and that's how he's managed to survive and keep his sanity. It is by sort of ignoring, a lot of the time... but to the back of his mind his tragic past and how he feels about it. So to combine the natural grief one would feel at that moment with stoicism that Harry has developed over the last few years, that was a challenge, but one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Q: We've heard that Part 1 is going to be more of a road movie and more different than the other Harry Potter films. Was it a different experience playing a different Harry?

D: Absolutely, it's a really different film... it's bizarre in a way. Funnily enough, I don't think we were aware how different it was at the time of filming. At the time, we were just doing scenes like we would do any other scene. We weren't really thinking about how different it was going to eventually seem. But then when I saw, for instance, the trailer and some of the extra footage I've seen, it just struck me how very different it's going to be because we've never seen these characters in this different context before. I think it's one of the things that makes the first film so exciting is you see these characters stripped of their comfortable, safe surroundings and suddenly just out in the wilderness together. The first one is being described as a road movie because they are being so exposed and it's such a different situation, you learn a lot more about how those characters function in that situation and it's a real exploration of the relationships between them. And the flaws in all their personalities, particularly Harry and Ron. I mean, Hermione as always is the voice of reason, but Harry and Ron do sort of fall apart to some degree. It has a very different feel to it and, I think hopefully people will be very excited by that.

Q: For people who haven't read the books, do you think the fans reaction will turn in the first half of the movie against Dumbledore because of Rita's book?

D: Good question. I hope so... that's kind of the intention. Because that for me is what the first film is about. It's about faith, it's about how far can faith be tested before you give in entirely. Harry's a Job figure in the first part. He hears so much about Dumbledore that is less than redeemable and he starts to really question why he is going on this insane, demanding mission which is costing him his friends and, potentially, will cost him his life... for someone he starts to question the values of. Hopefully at the end of the first film people should be very much wondering 'Well what is this? What was Dumbledore's real agenda?' And they should question it because it is ultimately what we want them to do. I also think-- while I'm on the topic of talking about faith-- it's also about, as Harry loses faith in Dumbledore and starts to fall apart, so do Ron and Hermione lose faith in Harry. Harry becomes... I was sort of comparing it to Harry becoming a Roman Emperor in the last days of the empire... just paranoid and isolated and cutting himself off from his friends. And I've always felt with Harry that there is an element of a kind of master complex in him. He doesn't want to reach out for help, he wants to be the sacrifice. He has a pride stroke arrogance which means he won't always reach out to other people when, in fact, he should. When in fact he's actually endangering his own chances of succeeding this mission and, therefore, the chances of saving the good of the magical world by not asking for help and not accepting help.

Q: Now that it's all over, have you kept any mementos from the series?

D: I've got two pairs of glasses... one from the seventh film, which were lenseless because we use two sets of glasses on films: lenses and lenseless. We use lenseless for when there's camera reflection and things like that. And also I have a lensed pair from the first film which just seem like these tiny, little things now. So it's very sweet and they both have quite a place in my home. And actually I'm probably going to get broken into now that I've told you that. [laughs] That was the only thing I wanted. I didn't want the wand, I certainly didn't want the broom, and so those were the only things I had my heart set on.

Q: If you had the chance to take the journey Harry takes in the movie in real life, would you and why?

D: I think I would. Very good question. I think I would because if I had the same responsibility that Harry had in this film, I'd love to think that I would be as selfless and as brave as he can be. I think I'd like to think that. And recognize the importance of what he has to do. And for the good of all those people that he loves and the people he has to help protect. So yes, I think I would although probably I don't think any of us are as brave as Harry.

Really good interview, as always with Dan. And there were some really good questions… probably because it was the fan sites asking him.
the glasses! that’s a good choice for a memento! I wonder what the others would choose

Another behind the scenes feature on "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" has been released, this one focusing on how "Deathly Hallows" is the culmination of over ten years of effort. The video starts with a reflection on all the previous Harry Potter films, and then includes brief interviews with David Yates (director), David Barron (producer), David Heyman (producer), Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) on the tone and story of "Deathly Hallows: Part 1." It also includes some footage we haven't seen before including the Trio looking for a camping site, the Trio hiding in an abandoned building and watching Death Eaters pass overhead, an extended look at Harry and Hagrid on the motorbike dodging Death Eaters, and Neville and Ginny on the Hogwarts Express.

Emma Comments on Kissing Dan Radcliffe and Rupert Grint

Emma Watson has spoken about her kissing scenes with co-stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and how it felt to have to kiss them after having known them for so long:

Speaking to Britain's SFX magazine about the scenes, she said: 'Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough also. Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship.

'Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty bloody hard, it really was. That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like: 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.''

Emma Watson Discusses Additional Scene of DH Part 1

Hermione actress Emma Watson reveals in the new issue of SFX that a vital new scene – not in the original novel – has been added at the beginning of Harry Potter And The Daethly Hallows.

““[Director] David Yates asked Steve Kloves to write this lovely scene at the beginning of the movie which is not in the book, but which I feel is very important for Hermione’s character. You see her wiping her parents’ memories in order for her to start off on the adventure with Ron and Harry. She knows that Voldemort could try to use her parents as a device to get to her in some way, which means they might be in harm’s way. So she wipes their memories so they forget she ever existed. All the photos of her around the house disappear. It’s a really tough way for the film to start but really important to see the sacrifices that she has to make.”

A major behind-the-scenes feature in the new SFX also reveals that Rupert Grint’s stubble was real (“They did experiment with sticking bits of hair on my face, but it didn’t really work…”), that Warwick Davies helped cast 60 goblins for a scene in Gringotts and that the final film makes more of the ultimate Harry/Voldemort confrontation than in the book.

Interview with Andy Linden (Mundungus Fletcher) on His Role in DH

Harry Potter Fan Zone has an exclusive interview with Andy Linden (Mundungus Fletcher), where Linden discusses a variety of things, among them the scenes Mundungus appears in:

HPFZ: When did you start filming Deathly Hallows?

AL: That would have been late February/early March 2009. I do believe mine was the very first scene [shot].

HPFZ: Was that the Seven Potters scene?

AL: No, that was later on. This was a scene in Diagon Alley. The scene is set where it's absolutely chucking it down. It's [raining] relentlessly. Needless to say, I was quite the big drip all day.

HPFZ: Could you talk about what other scenes Mundungus appears in? There's another scene in the book where he gets attacked by a house-elf.

AL: Yes, Dobby and Kreacher attack him in the kitchen. I do believe it's Kreacher that brings him back from Diagon Alley because he stole the [locket]. Eventually, he's questioned by the three of them regarding it. There are three very good scenes and it's a lovely little cameo. I had such a great time doing it.

HPFZ: Does Mundungus appear in Deathly Hallows: Part II at all?

AL: No, alas, Mundungus is not in Part II which is a shame really, but he's a joy to play.


Linden also goes on to discuss the technical aspects of the Seven Potters scene:

HPFZ: What was it like doing special effects scenes for example transforming into Harry?

AL: Time consuming [laughs]. It's all highly technical so consequently all the scenes are broken up if you know what I mean. You're kind of acting to nothing really. It's hundreds of little series of eye liners and pulling faces and trying to anticipate what's coming next.

HPFZ: Daniel Radcliffe mentioned that that sequence took ninety-five takes to film.

AL: Yes, and that really wasn't the inability of the actors. It was technical. It was [the crew] having so much coverage that they're spoiled for choice if you know what I mean.

HPFZ: Did you get to ride on a broom as well?

AL: Yes, I did [laughs] but in the guise of Harry Potter. By then everybody had taken the Polyjuice [Potion]. Consequently, we're all decoys. That particular scene took a long, long time simply because Daniel had to replicate all our different expressions and movements.

HPFZ: It sounds like it was a pretty intense process.

AL:

Yeah, somewhat elongated shall we say. But I had a great time on Harry Potter. I thought the cast were wonderful; the crew are fantastic as well. You've got a crew there that know exactly what they're doing. They've been doing it for ten years and you're in good hands.

WB: "DH Part 1" to be Released in 2D Formats, Not 3D

WB has issued a press release regarding the decision to release the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" film in a 2D format for conventional and IMAX theaters. The first half of the final Harry Potter film was originally slated to be converted into 3D during post production, however, as the press release notes, "Despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality."

The full press release is as follows:

Warner Bros Pictures has made the decision to release “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” in 2D, in both conventional and IMAX theaters, as we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window. Despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of this extraordinary journey, and to that end, we are releasing our film day-and-date on November 19, 2010 as planned. We, in alignment with our filmmakers, believe this is the best course to take in order to ensure that our audiences enjoy the consummate “Harry Potter” experience.

Producer David Heyman said, “For 10 years, we have worked alongside Alan Horn and the studio, whose priority has always been to preserve the integrity of Jo Rowling’s books as we have adapted them to the screen, and this decision reflects that commitment.”

Director David Yates continued, “This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first.”

As scheduled, on July 15, 2011, we will deliver to conventional and IMAX theaters our final installment of the film franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” in both 2D and 3D formats.

Not disappointing for me at all.
3D or no 3D, it's still Harry.
