Courtesy of hypable.com, on December 26, 2011 an updated version of the ’50 Greatest Harry Potter Moments’ aired in the UK . This version includes scenes from Deathly Hallows-Part 1 and Deathly Hallows-Part 2 and is commentated by Robbie Coltrane, who plays Hagrid in the Potter series.
The original version aired in July and did not have any scenes from DH considering the release of Part 2 this July. The full list can be seen below.
The facebook page for WB’s Harry Potter Studio Tour has released this picture of the Great Hall set as it was for the filming of the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire. They also revealed some of the techniques that went into giving it that cold, wintry feel.
“Here are some of the tricks the film-makers used: the Studio lights have blue lighting gel on them to create a chilling effect; the Great Hall walls were covered in a special silver treatment; the flambos were painted gold; silver curtains hang from the walls, and if you look really closely, the flambos have been changed to a reflective material and there is “ice” inside them (made from clear-cast resin). Get ready to step into the Great Hall in 2012!”
In a recent interview with HitFix, Severus Snape actor Alan Rickman gave some clarification to the myth that author JK Rowling told about him the fate of his mysterious character before anyone else knew. From the article:
Before I could even finish my question about this anecdote Rickman jumped in to clarify.
“Not true. I don’t know who thinks that is true, but it’s not true,” Rickman says. “She gave me one tiny, little, left of field piece of information that helped me think that he was more complicated and that the story was not going to be as straight down the line as everybody thought. If you remember when I did the first film she’d only written three or four books, so nobody knew where it was really going except her. And its was important for her that I know something, but she only gave me a tiny piece of information which helped me think it was a more ambiguous route.”
So, in many ways, Rickman’s portrayal through the series is even more impressive as he had just one nugget to use as he shaped Snape over the years.
Rickman adds, “What I knew was he was a human being and not an automaton and I knew there was some sense of protection for Harry or I worked that out. It was enough to know, I didn’t know he was a double agent.”
