The LA Times' Hero Complex updated today with a few quotes from Daniel Radcliffe on the trio's fugitive status in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; David Heyman gleaned over some of the non-Hogwarts scenes shot for Part I; and screenwriter Steven Kloves admitted that Hogwarts School will be featured in the first installment, but as a quick flashback.

Quote:

“Everybody is after us,” [Daniel Radcliffe] said of his on-screen persona, Harry Potter, and his partners in magic. “We’re to the point in the story where it’s a lot of action and we’re on the run. And that’s brilliant.”

Quote:

“It gives this film a very different feel to be away from Hogwarts,” [David] Heyman said. “The main characters — Harry, Ron and Hermione — are on the run and, yes, they do go to some magical places, like the Ministry of Magic, but a lot of the film is set in a quite naturalistic setting, and that makes it feel very real and very human. There’s plenty of magic, of course, but it’s set against a very real context.

“We have them a bit in Whitehall, in central London, we have them on Shaftesbury Avenue in the cafes,” Heyman continued. “It feels real, gritty at times and beautiful at other times. But it is not at Hogwarts, and that gives us a fresh impetus.”

Quote:

Screenwriter Steve Kloves said that there technically is one glimpse of Hogwarts in the film but he’d rather not elaborate. “This moment would fall in the category of flashback,” said the writer who finishes the franchise having written scripts for seven of the eight films. “Revealing it may ruin a rather lovely — albeit small — moment of the movie.”

Note: if you know of a few spoilers from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, due to the Chicago test screening, please realise that many readers may not want to know every detail of the movie (excluding those released by Warner Bros already), including the 'flashback' Kloves mentions. Please keep this in mind and be courteous in further stories related to Deathly Hallows, as well.
