| | |  Production designer Stuart Craig talks destruction of Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows 2
Harry Potter production designer Stuart Craig talked to the LA Times recently about how he chose not to destroy the Hogwarts sets for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and his discussion with author J.K. Rowling on changing the circumstances of Severus Snape's death in the final film. Do note that there are spoilers for the final film below.  “You couldn’t just take the sets that existed and punch holes in them,” he said. “All you would do is reveal that they were made of thin sheets of plywood covered with a skin of plaster to give a stone texture. You had to re-conceive them as a huge new set or several sets and design ruins from the ground up that appeared solid and three-dimensional. Walls, where before they could be just a skin, now needed thickness and solidity —big stones on the outside filled with rubble in the middle. “
Craig said he took some creative license with a key death scene in the book.
“In the book [the character] dies in the Shrieking Shack. I specifically asked J.K. Rowling if she would mind if we transposed that to a boathouse. I felt it would make a very interesting, very theatrical set. There was a lot of glass in the design for the boathouse. Through the glass, you’re aware of Hogwarts in flames and the water inside the boathouse reflects the flames and you get a great sense of the height and the drama. It’s rather cathedral-like in a small way, a rather ephemeral structure. I think [the actor] was happy to die there and I was very happy to see [the actor] die there.”

Wow, interesting. Hopefully it won't be a fast scene though and they take their time with this specific death.

Everything I've read about this scene sounds really good... I'll have the tissues handy for this scene, that's for sure!

I am SO excited to see Hogwarts destroyed, but I know I'll be sad at the same time. It will look so wicked! CANNOT WAIT! Not many days to go, everyone!  | |

I wish they had kept Snape's death the same like it was in the book. I still think it will look good though, in the Boathouse.
