| | SnitchSeeker's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 set visit teaser report
After eight hours of interviewing cast and crew on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 last year, SnitchSeeker was led outside to the Hogwarts courtyard where we witnessed a night scene being filmed. It began with a bunch of panicked students running in all directions. Then Professors McGonagall and Flitwick, along with Molly Weasley, Seamus Finnegan, Neville Longbottom and Cho Chang came down the steps of the school. (Matt Lewis stepped on the back of Maggie Smith’s cloak during one take and she almost took a header.) McGonagall sent Seamus and Neville off to blow something up, and then she cast the spell Piertum locomotum which brought life to the suits of armor inside the castle. Quote:
McGonagall: Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundries! Protect us! Do your duty to the school!
The “knights” on our end were extras dressed in cream-colored body suits, waving a fake sword in one hand and in the other holding a big bright green round disk in front of their chests. It was quite a hilarious sight. Even Maggie Smith laughed when they rushed past her on the first take.
We’ll have a full report from our visit to the set of Deathly Hallows – Part 2 up for you early this summer, including the complete dialogue from the scene described above, the “bootcamp” feel of the hideout for Dumbledore’s Army in the Room of Requirement, the Lestrange vault in Gringott’s, and the reasoning behind the change of setting for Snape’s death, plus interviews with actors Dan Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Warwick Davis, director David Yates, producer David Barron and creature effects master Nick Dudman. |

I still think it was a bit odd that there was no Hogwarts at Deathly Hallows part 1...

That's awesome. I wish I could've visited the set, that must've been amazing.
Can't wait for the full report, I'm guessing that'll be released around the time of the final film?

It's always fun to hear these "behind the scenes" anecdotes (and it's too bad that we don't get to see more of this on the DVD/Bluray disks!).. Can't wait to see the real thing!
