Melancholy in studios near London among actors in the saga. He turns the epilogue of the series. "We grew up here, we will miss"
In the huge studios of Leavesden studios, the former Rolls Royce factory (and even before the runway after the war) one hour from London, is the palpable sense of melancholy that hovers between the almost 1000 employees who are engaged for over ten years in the realization of films based on novels by the saga of Harry Potter.
We are just a few weeks after the end of filming of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final novel by JK Rowling (released in the U.S. in July 2007, has now broken all records for a first printing in the world with 72 million copies sold in just a few days), directed by David Yates (Harry Potter where you have 5:06). As you know the movie will be divided into two parts that Yates is running at the same time and that will be released in November 2010 and July 2011 in 3D.
"To tell you the truth I was against break the story into two films, we had never done before, "says producer David Hayman, whom we owe the discovery of the first book of Rowling." But when Steve Kloves, screenwriter for all these films, he began working on ' adaptation was clear that in one three-hour film would not have done justice to the story, we would have had to cut too much. Steve even said that there was enough material to make a third. It might as well be honest, "said Hayman." The success of "Avatar" has confirmed the popularity of 3D, so we decided to turn it into post production, although this was not the original plan. "
From the director to the producers , the Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig, who designed all the incredible set of seven films (which will soon become the scene of the attraction at Universal Orlando, Florida, and perhaps part of a permanent museum at Leavesden), actors and crew, life post Harry Potter is becoming a reality. Even Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), met on the set, has mixed feelings: "I spent half my life shooting this film, we grew up together, with Daniel, Emma and crew. It's hard to think that the last few days and then will all over. I know I will miss all this, but at the same time taste the freedom and ability to move forward with their careers, "says the young actor, who still leads his ice cream truck and a '67 Chevrolet pickup and will soon be seen on screens in the small film "Wild Target" by Jonathan Lynn alongside Rupert Everett and Emily Blunt.
"Unlike the first six films, shot in a much more secure, it got us out, even in Wales, in unknown places, camping in the forests, the world seems bigger. We spent much of the year in this study leave was an exciting finding. Certainly this film is much more complicated and has many more tricks. "
Daniel Radcliffe is sick, so that the production has changed plans at the last moment and is recovering pieces of special effects shots turn maybe a year ago: these include reconfiguring the computer measures the giant Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) in front of seven young men of the Order after drinking a potion Polyjuice have taken all the appearance of Harry.
"Fortunately, these films are so complex and there are so many roles that if a major player missing for a day we have always something else to do," says Yates, speaking in the huge desert in September the Ministry of magic that has been revealed true nature of oppressive and fascist regime: the construction of a giant black and green tiles and gilt frame with offices that seem to hover in the air. At the center of the set overlooking a fountain-style socialist realism metaphor of superiority that magicians feel about purebred wizards Muggles, depicted crushed between two slabs of granite and dominated by the figure of a witch and a wizard. It is in this Ministry that our three heroes, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Grint) intrude to retrieve the locket of Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), one of the seven Horcruxes in which Voldemort has hidden his soul.
"Part I is a" road movie ", shot in documentary style and great use of steadicam," says Yates, "very different atmosphere that will dominate the second half. But the story has come to its natural conclusion, and the film will be as faithful to the book, no surprises. The fans can rest easy. "
