Oh, I loved the desks!
I liked the desks too, but if you think about it, in a film which has grown up, that's kind of juvenile. It's like Peter Pettigrew strangling himself [which happened in the seventh book but was cut from the film]. It's great in the book, but really hard on film. Those things don't translate as well when the films are growing up.
Peter Pettigrew strangling himself was juvenile?! I TOTALLY disagree with that! In fact I gotta say, the way they ended up handling that particular scene in Part I was way more juvenile looking and I'm sorry is one scene I think they botched ( but not just because of what they did with Wormtail).

How did the actors go into the scene, growing into themselves 15 years later?
They look good. It's subtle. It's going to be very interesting to see the response, since inevitably we know it's Dan, Rupert and Emma, and we've just seen them as 17-year-olds. Initially we went a little further [with the effects], and then we pulled it back. Sometimes if you try too hard you're really aware of the work. You won't have huge wrinkles, obviously there's a difference, but you still resemble yourself.
15 years later? Is the movie changing the time frame a bit? It's supposed to be 19 years later.
I will say I'm thrilled they went back and tweaked the makeup a little bit. I thought Bonnie and Emma looked great in the initial photos released of them shooting at the train station but Rupert and Dan looked like they were supposed to be in their late 40's -50's rather than mid 30's.
I'm just sad about the length of the epilogue.
