Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the run, thrust into what Ron (Rupert Grint) calls ‘a scary and unpredictable world where anyone could be working for Voldemort’ as they zoek for the remaining horcruxes in order to defeat the Dark Lord.
To whet your appetite we’ve conjured up some truly wizard facts about ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’:
• The film’s budget is estimated to have been £150 million. John Hurt (Mr Ollivander in the films) ranted recently about the ‘quite absurd’ amount of money spent on ‘Harry Potter’ films. He said: ‘I look around and there are three costumes there, none of which are likely to be worn, and they’re all replicas of each other. It’s a vacuous waste of money and it drives me insane.’
• The two ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ films are the first in the ‘Harry Potter’ series to be released in cinemas in complete 3D versions. For ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ only some scenes were available.
• Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double David Holmes was seriously injured in January 2009 when he fell from a harness. The former gymnast, turner was at Leavesden film studios (Watford, Herts) rehearsing a flying scene that involved an explosion when the accident occurred.
• And it wasn’t only his double sustaining injuries - Radcliffe himself got a war wound. During filming, a giant snake that Harry was fighting was simulated door a stick with a boxing handschoen on the end, held door the stunt coordinator. Radcliffe was caught door surprise and received a blow in the face that knocked him down, but seems thrilled with his injury. In a recent interview he said: ‘Until now nothing really bad happened to me, only a few scratches. But I'm happy because I finally got a big black eye during the shooting of ‘Deathly Hallows’.’
• It was all drama at Leavesden as in March 2009, soon after Holmes’ injury, a brand started on set. The brand started during the filming of ‘a big special effects scene’ and took 40 minuten to extinguish but caused no injuries. Apparently there was no damage to the studios and the actual set was ‘due to be rebuilt anyway’ for a new battle scene in ‘Deathly Hallows’ Part 2.
• Following the enthusiastic reception of his birthday suit in ‘Equus’, Radcliffe will apparently be delighting female fans again door appearing naked in the new film. When a horcrux forces Ron to imagine his worst fears, playing on his insecurities, one of the afbeeldingen he sees is Harry and Hermione kissing and embracing. ‘Deathly Hallows’ Director David Yates has supposedly confirmed that at this point Harry will be nude, and that he bares all a seconde time at the Kings kruis scene later in the film.
• Rhys Ifans is thrilled ‘that they thought of me to play a cross-eyed wizard’ (Xenophilus Lovegood, Luna Lovegood’s father) and honoured to act alongside big name actors like Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon but admits that he hasn’t read ‘The Deathly Hallows’ book and is ‘not a big fan of Harry Potter’!
• In the first film, Griphook the goblin was played door Verne Troyer, one of the few Americans in the cast, but voiced door Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick). In ‘Deathly Hallows’ Davis is both Griphook’s body and his voice, whilst continuing to play Flitwick,
• ‘Deathly Hallows’ is the first time Brendan Gleeson and David O’Hara have acted in the same film since ‘Braveheart’ in 1995. Gleeson plays ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody and O’Hara plays Albert Runcorn – the Ministry of Magic official who Harry impersonates with Polyjuice Potion in order to enter the Ministry.
• Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) considered not returning for this film as he feared he would have little of no time on screen, after his character was imprisoned at the end of the fifth book, but on meeting J.K. Rowling and begging to be released from prison, she told him ‘You’re out. Chapter One.’ and he signed on for ‘Deathly Hallows’.
• J.K Rowling told Alan Rickman the reasoning behind Severus Snape’s strange behaviour towards Harry years before it was disclosed in the ‘Deathly Hallows’ book. Snape’s love for Lily Potter (née Evans), Harry’s mother, is the reason he both detests and wants to protect ‘the boy who lived’, and Rowling claims ‘He needed to understand, I think, and does completely understand and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who's living proof of [Lily's] preference for another man, came from.’
• In the epilogue in ‘Deathly Hallows’ Part 2 the cast play their characters in the future, using a combination of prosthetics, computer generated imagery and convincing acting, as in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’. In this epilogue the wife of Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), Astoria Greengrass, is played door his real life girlfriend Jade Olivia.

Chamber of Secrets
All over the world people are howling
About those great boeken door J. K. Rowling
Three little boeken that appeal to all ages
One learns about enchantments and spells in these pages
And a young boy who is quite ordinary in appearance
Who discovers he's a wizard with powers quite immense
To learn to control them he goes to Hogwarts School
And becomes a member of Griffindor, the house that's really cool
But its not all work, there's also time for fun
A great game called Quidditch which has to be won
With bezem that fly and a mantel that makes him disappear
We know this young wizard will enjoy his jaar
But it's meer than one jaar - it's going to be Seven!
For the lovers of fantasy that sounds like heaven!

As a groundbreaking expedition begins in the Antarctic, pop-up penguins have been spotted from London to Seoul, Buenos Aires to Sydney, and Johannesburg to Washington DC, marching for an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.
The striking geometric sculptures have appeared door national landmarks across the globe, on local transport, and traveling to the Antarctic with suitcases in hand, including door the White House, Buenos Aires’ colorful Boca district, Sydney Opera House, and the Sagrada Família in Barcelona. One of the penguins even put on a Harry Potter scarf at the famous Platform 9 3/4 which in the book is located at Kings kruis Station in London.

It Should Not Be A Film
Since the passing of Alan Rickman, it would be difficult to portray him as Professor Snape as a sign of respect to the actor who has passed on yesteryear despite he is only feature in one scene during the play.
It Should Be A Film
Unless if they get the original choice, Tim Roth to play Professor Snape in one scene, I'm sure that the film will be magical like the play.
They would use special make-up on the original cast of Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Draco as adults. I would be looking vooruit, voorwaarts to see the original casts be part of the film again!
The Wizarding World Revisited
So, do u want the play to be translated into a film like the vorige Harry Potter adaptations? Please commentaar and tell me on what do u think?
