Videos: Harry Potter cast talk Deathly Hallows: Part II battles, last days of filming
Actors Bonnie Wright, James and Oliver Phelps, Domhnall Gleeson, Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon, Warwick Davis, Evanna Lynch, David Thewlis, and Natalia Tena participated in junket interviews inside Harry Potter: the Exhibition on Monday afternoon at Discovery Time Square, where they discussed their work in the film series while promoting the home video release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.
Of particular note is David Thewlis' interview, where he revealed that he still has some dubbing work left to do for Deathly Hallows: Part II next Monday, and a wonderful anecdote about his and Alan Rickman's final day of filming, where over 500 people came together in the Great Hall to give the two a standing ovation for their work in the series. All the interviews, which include some tidbits from the final film, and stories of their last day of filming, courtesy of WireImage (with short captions), can be seen below.

I still can't believe the end of the films came so soon. Time just flew by.
It's one thing for the books to end, but it's going to be so weird not to have the films to speculate about every year. So weird.
HP will never end though. It's a classic and new generations will continue to fall in love with it.

I sincerely Hope it won't die and I hope it will be considered as a classic, like the Lord of the Rings, which is my favorite novels alongside Harry Potter series!
Your flavour is milk. You're a quiet person and enjoy the peace, but you also
enjoy a bit of something new. You like the unconventional surprises that life
brings. You keep those dear to you close and adore them, as they adore you. ♥
This is so weird. I know we've all been saying this for months but I just can't get my head around the fact that this is the end. Of course Harry Potter will hopefully live on for many years to come but it will be so weird to know that there are no books or films coming anymore. For the last decade there's always been something new coming, something to look forward to in terms of Harry Potter... so everything will probably feel quite empty after July.
I'm looking forward to the premiere of DH2. It will be bittersweet...
Very good interviews. The one w/the twins is my fav:p James looks really hott
No, first 1 to talk in the harry potter was Dumbledore not professor McGonagell(sp?). I love how excited robbie got talkin about throwing death eaters off a bridge
