Harry Potter: The Quest has unlocked another new video, and in this lovely feature we see members of the cast and crew – Dan, Rupert, Emma, David Yates, Mark Williams and many more – look back on Harry Potter and give some farewell messages.
We have seen so many ‘goodbyes’ in the last year, but these clips are from the Leavesden set back when they were filming, so it must have been one of the first times these guys had reflected on ‘the end’. The video is nicely interspersed with old set pictures and stills from over the years.
Unfortunately, MTV only makes their videos available in the US
Dan Radcliffe recently spoke with MTV and discussed his time doing Harry Potter as well as what he thinks the future holds for him in the film industry. He mentions that he’d like to direct at some point. If you can’t view the video above, here is some quotage courtesy of Mugglenet:
“My worst nightmare is that in ten years that I will just be not working and not doing anything. Even if like in five years time I decide to leave the film industry and go off and become an archeologist, like even if I’m doing that, then great, fine. But the best case scenario is that in ten years time I’ll have gotten a good few films under my belt. I don’t know how many that’ll be in ten years, but I suppose since I did eight ‘Potter’s’ in ten years, double that to sixteen, who knows. But I’d to have a few different films with different parts, and very different directors under my belt.
Ideally, I’d really like to have directed something by then. That’s the ambition. I mean I feel having spent so much time on a film set, I would have a very good idea of how to run a film set, how to lead that set, and I love telling stories. So I would like that as a job.”
Mugglenet spoke to Harry Potter director David Yates recently, and within quite a lengthy chat, one of the interesting things he talked about was an additional battle scene with Lupin and Tonks that was nearly filmed but had to be axed because of time constraints with the special effects and 3D conversion.
Mugglenet: Speaking of the battle, and the character moments… were there any that were lost in the final film?
David Yates: We kept most of them. We did keep most of them. We actually thought we might need more at one point… there was a point when I was editing and I said to Mark [Day], the editor, “I think we might need… maybe we need more blowing upof stuff. Maybe we need a few more…” We did talk about whether or not we wanted to see Tonks and Lupin fight to the death. Which would’ve been great. Absolutely great. And then we actually thought, “Okay. How do we pick it up? We can get David [Thewlis] back, we can get Nat [Tena] back. We can build a bit of battlement.” And at one point that was on the cards. But then, because of this 3-D conversion, we suddenly realized that we were actually not going to have the time to do it. Because we could shoot it, but we couldn’t have the visual effects and the 3-D conversion done in time. But we had serious conversations about it.
