Chris Rankin Confirmed for Deathly Hallows
|
Chris Rankin, who portrays Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has been confirmed to resume his role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. His agency, Stacey Castro Media, confirmed today with SnitchSeeker that he will definitely be back to resume the Weasley brother who lost his way.
British actor Chris Rankin will reprise his role of Percy Weasley in the new installment of Warner Bros. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 will be in theatres in November 2010.

Update2: Wizarding World of Harry Potter Information
|
It is being reported that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in conjunction with the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be in theatres in November 2010. The report, originally in French, came from the International Pow Wow, which took place in Miami May 16 - 20.
The report also stated that there will a roller coaster and a ride that has flying car races.
You can read the translation here.
UPDATE: We received word from Universal Studios in Orlando that the information reported in this article is inaccurate. Although which parts are inaccurate, I haven't been told. Let's hope it's the opening date and that it's still the beginning of 2010 and not November 2010.
UPDATE2: I got another response from Universal stating that it is the release date and money figures noted in the article that were incorrect. Here's what they had to say:
The last paragraph of the article references that the opening of the Wizarding World will coincide with the release of the first installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, sometime in November of 2010. This information was never shared during Pow Wow (the international trade show that this journalist attended) and is incorrect. The Wizarding World is scheduled to open sometime in 2010.
We also don’t discuss monetary figures associated with building new attractions or improvements to our parks. We have never released a dollar figure relating to the development of the Wizarding World.
Thanks to Universal for letting us know!

Videos: One Deathly Hallows Set Wraps, Another Begins
|
The last day of filming for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Shell Cottage scene took place on Thursday, reports WalesOnline. Some new photos of the set from Hedward Photography are online. You can see a close up of Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and Evanna again in the Jeep with Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley).
The photographer had a chance to speak with some of the crew at the set.
We had a chance to talk to one of the lighting techs working on the movie and it was really interesting hearing about life behind the scenes. Every single shell on the roof of shell cottage is made of fibreglass and the whole cottage was built in studio, disassembled and shipped to Freshwater West beach where it was reassembled for filming.
After filming ends on the beach it will be taken apart again and reassembled in studio for more filming.
Additionally, some photos have surfaced on London Taxi Tours of a new set location, this time at Swinley Forest in Bracknell. Two months of filming are to take place in this area. You can see the photos in our gallery starting here.
You can also see some videos of both sets here. |

Harry Potter Uniforms Now Available To The Public
|
Ever since Chamber of Secrets, Lochaven International, Ltd. in Scotland has provided Warner Bros. with Hogwarts school uniforms for all four houses. In October 2008, the Kilmarnock Standard interviewed the knitwear manufacturing company about their association with the Harry Potter films. At that time, Lochaven’s owner Keith Murray mentioned receiving requests from fans for the uniforms:
He said: “We get e-mails from all over the world from fans of the books and films asking if they can buy one…“Although there is no legal reason why we can’t, we don’t actually actively market them so they are pretty rare…“Our quality and ability to produce relatively small batches in Scotland makes us fairly unique these days and that allows us to work within the film industry…“The garments are very visible in the films and have become recognised as an integral part of Harry Potter. There is also a large Scottish connection with the films so it’s great to be a part of it.”
Due to popular demand reinforced by the interview, the uniforms are now available.

Verne Troyer Not in Deathly Hallows
|
In a previous post, we reported that Verne Troyer was the body-double for Dobby in the filming scene for Shell Cottage in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Mr. Troyer's representative, Ray Hughes, has informed us that this information is incorrect. Mr. Troyer is currently in Los Angeles working on The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus and will then be heading to the Cannes Film Festival next week.
Thanks to Mr. Hughes for letting us know! |

Report: Confirmation of Jamie Campbell Bower as Grindewald
|
We previously reported that Jamie Campbell Bower was trying to sign on as Gellert Grindewald for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. A report has surfaced that his agent today confirmed his role in the last Harry Potter film while being interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival.
Jamie is currently working on the set of the second of the Twilight saga films, New Moon, as the character Caius, one of the Italian Volturi vampires. He'll be working alongside Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films).
He's also worked with other Potter actors Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew), and Alan Rickman (Snape) in the film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street as the character Anthony.

It's a Wet Day at Shell Cottage
|
Today it rained at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Shell Cottage set, so filming took place indoors. However, some photos of Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley), and someone who appears to be Dobby's CGI body double (Note: this was thought to be Verne Troyer, but his representative has stated that Mr. Troyer is not in Deathly Hallows) were taken of them riding to the filming area. You can see them in our gallery beginning here.
Apparently word has it that it's possible that this is the last day of filming for this set. However, as most of you know, filming is supposed to last until the 15th. We'll keep you up to date.
Thanks to SnitchSeeker! |

Photos: Day 2 of Shell Cottage Filming
|
More photos of day 2 of filming for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Shell Cottage scene are now online. Of course, much of this filming includes Dobby's burial. Today Vern Troyer was on set wearing special pants to be used later for CGI as Dobby. You can see him here. Toby Jones, who does Dobby's voice, was also on set. There also more photos of Rupert, Evanna, Emma, and Dan. We see Dan in an especially poignant moment after he finishes burying Dobby. Bill and Luna's doubles were also on set.
We also have some great shots of Domhnall Gleeson who portrays Bill Weasley, including a close up of his scars. One photo also shows a crew member carrying Dobby, while another shows a close up of an injured Hermione.
You can see all the new photos in our gallery beginning here.
It's apparently raining today at the area so filming will take place inside, so there probably won't be any photos for that. But keep checking back and we'll have them here for you as soon as they're available!

Bonham Carter Goes to Pembrokeshire for Deathly Hallows Filming
|
Helena Bonham Carter, who portrays Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, was seen at a gas station while on her way to filming at Pembrokeshire for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The set, which includes Shell Cottage, is on the beach with large shells for the roof shingles.
One person who saw Helena at the station stated, “She looked incredibly out of place in a pair of red gloves on a sunny day. She was instantly recognisable and yet she just went in, bought some food and drink and went on her way without and any fuss or being recognised.”
Filming at Shell Cottage began today and will last until mid-May or longer.
If anyone is able to get any photos or have any reports of filming taking place, please let us know.
The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19, 2010, and the second part's release date is July 15, 2011. |

Cast & Crew Arrive At Shell Cottage To Film Deathly Hallows
|
We previously reported on the Deathly Hallows film set construction of Shell Cottage in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Now, The Leaky Cauldron has received reports of Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley), and Warwick Davis (as Griphook) arriving in the area with the crew. They were seen earlier today at the beach.
One report was from Jo:
"From the looks of the conservatory and garden, it looks like they may do some internal filming. You can also see a chair in one of the front windows. I couldn’t get over the detail, the little window next the chimney is just such a nice effect, even lobster pots in the garden!"
Since the UK is approximately five hours ahead of us, I believe filming may have already started (per TLC's report of an early morning filming) at Freshwater Beach. 
There are photos of the film crew setting up for filming at Shell Cottage in the photo gallery, courtsey of a Facebook group for Freshwater Beach who has photos from S. Click here to see them.
Thanks to TLC |

Chris also said that they're working on Fleur's garden behind the cottage and says that it's 'quite cute.'
