New Promotional Stills of Jessie Cave in “Mary Rose”

Harry Potter star Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown, is in the DogOrange theatre company’s production of Mary Rose. New promotional stills, courtesy of Snitchseeker.com, and a trailer can be seen below.

The play, which is adapted from the novel written by Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie, is a supernatural story of love, lost innocence and the parallel world of the dead. Time Out had this to say about the play.

A scrupulously detailed, gripping, genuinely goose-bump inducing vision of this high Victorian ghost story … director Matthew Parker’s sterling cast, and his sure, hugely inventive dramatic touch generate an impressive, lingering impression of real loss and longing.

The play runs from now until April 28, 2012 at Riverside Studios in the UK. If you reside in London or will be there during this time, you can purchase tickets for the show here.

New pictures reveal more sets/props to be included in the HP Studio Tour, including the Knight Bus

Some great new pictures have hit the web today that give further clues as to what will be included in the WB Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter, the amazing new attraction opening at the end of March at Leavesden Studios, where all the Harry Potter films were made. The photos show parts of Privet Drive, what looks like the Potters’ house in Godric’s Hollow, part of the Hogwarts bridge and the Knight Bus. Here is a statement from Warner Bros. via Magical-Menagerie:

The iconic, triple decker Knight Bus today rolls into Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, which opens 31st March 2012. Taking its place among the many authentic sets, props and costumes from the eight Harry Potter films, the Knight Bus debuted in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™ and was one of the most complicated pieces to create in the production.

John Richardson, Special Effects Supervisor, said: ”The Knight Bus was not a CGI Creation as many people thought but in fact a real-life working bus. It was constructed by cutting up two iconic Routemaster buses, reworking the structure and bolting it all back together to provide one bus with three decks. One interesting challenge that arose during the shooting of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was that we could not drive the vehicle across London due to the number of low bridges in and around the capital.  This meant that we had to transport the bus in two pieces between locations and put it back together as required for filming.”
