Well, it’s very sad for me. I was already nostalgic for the history of Harry
Potter while I was still making it and I knew the end was coming. It was two
film…they made the last book into two films and it was a fantastic experience because everybody’s back…everyone who is left alive that is…and even some of the dead people. There is nothing greater than sitting around on a Harry Potter set when you’re not filming and listening to the likes of Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Bill Nighy and Jim Broadbent tell stories. And watching everybody crew the scenery up in the few moments you get on screen - trying to out ham each other is magnificent. This big franchise goes out in an epic way. But I was always cognisant of the fact that I’d have to pack up my little furry friend of a wig and stick it in a box and say goodbye to the cane. All the joy was tinged with sadness for me.
I think the end of the films will be a fantastically cinematic and visual feast. It will more than satisfy the readers of the books…but you won’t get is the book on screen. You’ll get something more and different. Everybody is very savvy to the notion that this is a much-loved franchise and this will be the end of an eighth film, and it needs to have weight and substance and you need to feel drained by the end of it. It’s a ten-year roller coaster ride, not a two-hour roller coaster ride, and we all know it and we all felt it, and it was in the air while we were shooting it.
Wow, I cannot believe that after ten years, the end is so near! I remember when I first watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at the cinema when I was just 7.
10 years now... I hope it would never end.
On one hand I am really really excited for the two part film to come out but on the other hand, just thinking that after that there will be nothing else to look forward to is just overwhelming.
