View Full Version : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The final instalment of the Harry Potter film franchise is to be released in 2011 it has been announced.
Fans of the boy wizard will get to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II in cinemas from 15 July.
Warner Brothers decided to split the seventh book in JK Rowling's series into two parts as it was impossible to cram its 608 pages into a single film.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is set to be released on 19 November 2010.
Stuntman David Holmes suffered serious back injuries on the set of Deathly Hallows last month practising an aerial sequence.
The set was closed for a week for investigation before being allowed to re-open by the Health and Safety Executive.
It was announced in August last year that the release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince would be pushed back eight months to July this year.
Warner Bros president Alan Horn said the decision was taken to guarantee the studio a major summer blockbuster in 2009.
He also blamed the Hollywood writers' strike, which hit the film industry hard in 2008.
The first five movies have made $4.5 billion (£2.2 billion) worldwide - making it the biggest film franchise in box office history, surpassing both James Bond and Star Wars.
awww wow! thats good cos the breaks wont be as long :D
Theo Walcott's girlfriend has reportedly landed a role in the next Harry Potter film.
According to the Daily Mail, Melanie Slade will appear in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One as a friend of Hermione Granger (Emma Watson).
Explaining her part, she said: "I had a couple of lines to say. I'd love to do more acting."
The 20-year-old, who has been dating the Arsenal and England star since 2006, was offered the role through her boyfriend's aunt, whose partner David Yates is directing the movie.
Slade will make her screen debut alongside Watson as the two girls watch a Quidditch match at Hogwarts.

Rhys Ifans has joined the cast of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
Appearing on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, the Welsh actor spoke about being fitted for a wizard costume while filming Mr. Nice, a movie about notorious drug smuggler Howard Marks.
"These people from Harry Potter had to fly out to Spain to fit me for my wizard outfit," Ifans said. "I'm in this room with the sleeves, the pointy hat, and Howard's wandering past the room with [a joint] on the go. He says, 'I never used to wear stuff like that'. I said, 'No Howard, don't panic. This is for another film'."
Ifans did not reveal which character he will play, but Potter site SnitchSeeker.com speculates that he may be Xenophilius Lovegood.
Poésy, who played Fleur Delacour in Goblet of Fire , is in talks to reprise her role in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , according to her representatives.
Nothing is confirmed so far.
WalesOnline is reporting this morning that crews for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and a new Robin Hood movie are expected to be shooting in the town of Pembrokeshire:
Planning officer Cathy Milner said: “It’s a huge bonus for Pembrokeshire. There’s the input of the finance, and it will also raise the county’s profile.” Ms Milner said Freshwater West had captured the film makers’ imagination and six days’ filming was planned for early May.
The Harry Potter crew is expected to be in the area for 50 days. A set will be built in Pembroke Dock and moved to a site in the dunes.
Work is expected to start in the area after Easter.
Filming for Deathly Hallows will continue until early 2010.
It is being reported that Ciaran Hinds has been cast in the role of Aberforth Dumbledore for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
When reached by MuggleNet, Warner Bros. neither confirmed nor denied the rumor. We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available. No word yet on if the goat from Order of the Phoenix will reprise its role in the final films.
Andy Linden confirmed as Mundungus Fletcher
As more casting news comes pouring in, rumours have been circulating that actor Andy Linden has been cast as Mundungus Fletcher for the Deathly Hallows film. Universe Harry Potter contacted his agent Polly Andrews and Andrews confirmed the rumour. Linden previously worked with David Yates, the director, on a movie called Punch back in 1996.
Actor Domhnall Gleeson expected to be cast in DH
Broadway.com is reporting today that the Tony Award nominee is expected to become a part of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows cast as Bill Weasley:
Gleeson would join his father, returning player Brendan Gleeson, who has appeared in the series since the 2005 release Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as popular character Professor Alastor “MadEye” Moody.
"I'd been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father," the younger Gleeson told Broadway.com in 2006 about his pursuit of acting. "I thought I'd always have the father-son thing of 'He got you the part.
Actress Michelle Fairley cast as Mrs. Granger
The role of Hermione Granger's mom in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been filled by actress Michelle Fairley, Coleraine Times reports:
The Coleraine actress's agent was contacted by film representatives last week to arrange a new schedule of shooting for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Michelle had almost missed out on the part due to her involvement in Brian Friel's Olivier award-winning play Dancing at Lughnasa which opened at the Old Vic in London last Thursday.
However producers for the blockbuster have insisted that they want Michelle to play the part of Mrs Granger, a Muggle dentist and the mother of Hermione Granger, one of Harry's two best friends, played by Emma Watson.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Jamie Campbell Bower, most recently known for his role in Sweeney Todd, is in final negotiations to play Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Please note that this is strictly a rumor for now, and no representatives are talking yet. Some fans may note that Jamie was recently cast as Caius in the second Twilight film New Moon. As always, we'll keep you updated!
Bill Nighy has revealed that he will playing the part of Rufus Scrimgeour in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
The Boat That Rocked star, who confirmed his involvement earlier this month, told BBC Newsround that he was "very pleased" to be joining the magical franchise.
"I am in the next Harry Potter. I will be Rufus Scrimgeour, who is the Minister of Magic and he is a very, very important man," he said.
"I am no longer the only English actor not to be in Harry Potter and I am very pleased!"
Nighy is expected to begin filming his role in the two-part Deathly Hallows within the next few weeks.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a163889/bill-nighy-reveals-deathly-hallows-character.html
He is a brilliant actor
Yeah, I can imagine Bill as Scrimgeour.
Bill Nighy has revealed details of what fans can expect from his portrayal of Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The British star, who confirmed his involvement in the final instalment earlier this month, told Sci-Fi Wire that Scrimgeour is a "rather tragic figure" who cultivated an "interesting relationship" with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe).
"Harry views him initially with complete contempt, but then it's softened by subsequent events," he explained. "There's one where he comes and delivers Dumbledore's (Michael Gambon) legacy to the three children [Harry, Ron and Hermione].
"He gives them all of the things that Dumbledore has left them, and that's when it's first indicated that he may not be around for much longer. So it's quite an affecting scene."
Nighy added that he will start filming on Deathly Hallows when he returns to the UK from his current promotional tour of the US in support of upcoming animation G-Force.

That's completely wrong. Harry always holds him in contempt and never softens to him. Either the script has been rewritten or Bill has interpreted it wrong.
It's been long understood by fans of Harry Potter that J.K. Rowling's last epic book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, would be split into two flicks. The big question looming for readers since this news, however, has been where will the moviemakers make the division?
Now, we know!
If you don't want to be spoiled, we'd suggest going away!
It was confirmed by Joshua Herdman, who plays Slytherin goon Goyle in the films (you may also know him as the Muggle busted for cannabis possession) that while it may still change in the final hours of editing, as far as he knows, the ending of the first film is as follows:
"Part one of "Deathly Hallows" will close right after Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are captured by the Snatchers. Part two will open as the trio and their captors arrive at Malfoy Manor."
What a cliffhanger!!
Ooo I like the cliffhanger! I knew it had to be somewhere around that point
Warner Bros has confirmed that it will release the next Harry Potter films in 3D.
The two Deathly Hallows movies, which are based on JK Rowling's final book in the wizard series, will cost $5 million a piece to convert to the 3D format, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The news comes in the week that James Cameron's 3D space epic Avatar smashed the $1.843 billion all-time box office record held by Titanic.
Last year's Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince included 3D footage for its IMAX screenings.
Warner has also firmed up plans to bring out its Clash Of The Titans remake in 3D and has pushed back its release until April 2 in order to complete the conversion.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I will open on November 19 this year, with Part II following on July 15, 2011.
:cheer::cheer:
Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis has revealed that Deathly Hallows will be a "gory" film.
Speaking to SnitchSeeker.com, the Neville Longbottom actor compared the final two Potter instalments to the Lord Of The Rings.
"David [Yates, director] as well as [screenwriter] Steve Kloves haven't shied away from the more severe stuff in it that was in the book. It's bloody and it's gory and it's very real. But it's been cool and it's not like anything I've had to do before," he said.
Lewis added that splitting the final Potter outing into two movies has given the filmmakers the opportunity to include everything they wanted from J.K. Rowling's source material.
"[They're] trying to keep as much stuff as they can from the book in the film," he explained. "We want to hit all the points and no one's making it into a good film everyone enjoys - we're going to stick to the book and we're gonna say, 'Look, some of it is quite harrowing, some of it's quite serious. People do die and you're just gonna have to...' It's not sugar-coated. It's right there, it's quite raw and all the performances have had to step up."
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I will open in cinemas this November, with Part II bowing summer 2011.

The Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows split point has been revealed.
Warner Bros confirmed last year that the final instalment would be released in two parts, with the second part arriving eight months after the first.
In a report, Entertainment Weekly confirmed that the split point would occur around chapter 24 of J.K. Rowling's book.
The scene will see Lord Voldermort (Ralph Fiennes) gain possession of The Elder Wand as he takes it from former Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore's (Sir Michael Gambon) tomb.
Faced with accusations that the split had happened for 'purely financial reasons', Warner Bros Entertainment president Alan Horn hit back.
"The key word there is purely," he said.
"There's no question that Warner Bros will make more money with two films than they would have with one. But we also never ever would have done this if Jo [Rowling] had not endorsed it, and if we didn't feel that we were providing a better finale, with a more full sense of closure."
He continued: "We just respect and love the books too much for that."
The Potter films producer David Heyman previously said that the split point would be "incredibly dramatic, very moving and make people want to watch the next film."
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One will open in cinemas in November.
I thought the split occurs when Harry is taken to Malfroy's castle...

Yes, I'm sure I read an interview months ago saying the same thing.
Yes, I'm sure I read an interview months ago saying the same thing.
so it wasn't just my imagination... it seems stupid to pick that point with the wand as it is very near the end of the book
Im just trying to think ow much of the book is in part one

Either the ending has changed or the most recent report is wrong :searchme:
A magazine interview and some pictures. Mugglenet have the same interview posted above so I guess the split is when Voldy takes the Elder wand.

Is it true they are showing the last 2 Harry Potter films in 3D? if so, I won't be going to see them at the cinema - I'll wait for the DVDs.
Yes but I don't think all the cinemas will be showing in 3d. The smaller independent ones will probably just show the standard film as it is cheaper to buy than the 3d version. That's assuming Warner Bros will be editing two separate versions.
19th November for Part 1 - CANT WAIT

Oh that makes me want to read DH again. I'm surprised at how gentle Voldy's voice is.
Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he found it difficult to imitate Rupert Grint when filming the seven Potters scene for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
The actor had to take on the role of six other characters as they transformed into Harry as part of a plan to distract Lord Voldermort and his Death Eaters.
"Oh, it was bizarre; some were easier than others to kind of impersonate," Radcliffe told Snitch Seeker. "But you know, Rupert was very difficult, because Rupert's got a - you know, his walk - you wouldn't expect that about Rupert.
"When you actually analyse it, Rupert's got a real wiggle in the hips when he walks. That was slightly unexpected. He was one of the slightly tricky ones."
He also admitted that it was "fun" to play Emma Watson's Hermione Granger.
"The girls were very, very funny. I think the crew were slightly worried that I was walking around a little too confidently in those heels of Fleur's," he said.
"Obviously it's an actor's dream - there are seven of me on screen at one time. It's fantastic!"
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One will open in cinemas on November 19.

The latest film in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1," has become the highest grossing instalment of the Harry Potter franchise outside North America as of Wednesday.
The seventh movie about the exploits of the boy wizard has earned $657.24 million (406.1 million pounds) and counting, edging past the previous record-holder -- 2001's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone," which grossed $657 million at the foreign box office, distributor Warner Bros said.
Globally, including North American ticket sales, it still trails, however, having grossed around $951 million compared with $975 million for the 2001 picture, according to ticket tracking site Boxofficemojo.com.
Also, figures have not been adjusted for inflation.
Deathly Hallows Part 1, based on the final instalment of the series of best-selling books by author J.K. Rowling, performed strongly from the start last November, landing at No. 6 on the list of all-time best U.S. weekend debuts.
The six previous "Potter" films have grossed $5.4 billion globally for Warner Bros. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2," the final instalment, is set to hit theatres on July 15.

It was great. So riveting. Loved all the behind the scenes stuff & I must admit I shed a tear at the 'In Memorium' part (& realised so many involved have now unfortunately passed).
