| | First official Deathly Hallows: Part 2 epilogue photos released; cast, crew talk film
Daniel Radcliffe, David Yates, and producer David Heyman recently discussed the decision to reshoot the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 epilogue at Leavesden Studios in December 2010, rather than keep the original footage from King's Cross for a variety of reasons, not least being that they realised how old the cast looked in the first shoot. The LA Times also released the first official promotional images from the epilogue, with peeks at Dan, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Bonnie Wright as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny in their later 30s, as well as their Potter and Weasley children. Those can be found in our galleries. “Potter” producer David Heyman was thinking of that when he told Radcliffe that there was no way that three “strangers” could deliver the final lines of the three main characters right before the final fade to black.
“After all we have been through with these characters, the way that a generation has grown up with them, they need to be the ones on screen when it’s time to bring it to a close,” said Heyman, who was a key decision-maker back when Radcliffe and his costars were first cast in their roles back in 2000. “There’s an expectation — even if it is not articulated — that they need to be on the screen when it’s coming to an end.” “The thing we didn’t want was for it to be distracting and I think we figured it out,” Radcliffe said. “We did it with prosthetics, in the end, and I’m sure there will be little bits of visual effects for retouching on those moments when we do a close-up… when you have the prosthetic on for a long time, it’s hard to maintain it, that illusion, and with close-ups you need to fix it up. It’s also a challenge to make someone who is 19 or 20 — an age where their face is still changing — and make them a fully grown adult. I think they looked fantastic though and, if I do say so, particularly mine. Mine looked pretty dead on. That’s me in the future I think.”
“Rupert looked like he was about 75 years old with the triple chin and the belly, he looked like he had really lived as a lush,” Heyman said. “We knew we needed to rework the makeup. There was another problem, too, shooting at the train station proved quite challenging for some of the younger kids who played the children of Harry, Ron and Hermione. It was really noisy every few minutes a train from Liverpool would pull in on one of the other tracks. We only had our one track closed.” The makeup team for “Deathly Hallows” was led by Nick Dudman and, to Heyman, the second shot on the “age-up” work was a home run.
“It made all the difference in the world,” Heyman said. “We got what we were looking for. There was a challenge in the performance for the young actors. I know Emma talked about her approach was to think of her young siblings — her father has remarried and she has a new family — and how being with them was her way to get into the head of a parent going off to school. It wasn’t easy for them.”
“We should have thought to film it last in the first place,” Heyman said Wednesday. “It created a reality of sorts to the feelings in the scene and in the air. And I think now we’ve heard from the rest of the world that it worked. In the end, we used some shots from King’s Cross, too, to make a hybrid. There was a little bit of CG as well. The combination is subtle, which it needed to be.” “It was something very strange and affecting,” Heyman said. “I was really pleased because I thought there was a real tenderness about the last scene, a feeling of closure and the cycles of life. There’s a new beginning and there’s an ending. There are different sorts of adventures for these actors and for all of us. But we made it to the train station together.” |

Ahhh this is interesting. Hm, I really didn't like the fact they looked the same and was very curious to hear why they decided to do it this way. Now I guess it makes sense. Still rather silly when you first see them during the epilogue. Either way, the movie was wonderful. I'm sure going to miss it all and look forward to seeing all the behind the scenes stuff on the Ultimate Edition DVDs |

| "Always" // "all was well."
loved the epilogue, am so glad it wasn't some other actors at the end. i am so gonna cry again. wish it had been longer but it was great. my fav line was in it so i am happy. i wonder if the kids got to meet any of the "older" actors like Alan Rickman, ETC. Probably not,it still would have been cute to see a pic of the actors as their characters posing with the kids. i for one would have loved to see a shot of "harry", "snape", "Dumbeldore" and little "Albus Severus" that would have been so cute.
thats just me though

It couldn't have been done another way to the satisfaction of the audience. The epilogue was amazing! You could really feel the emotion of it coming to an end. They acted it incredibly!

LOL, I love how Albus Severus has a ferret. For some reason, I see that as a little nod to that Malfoy/Ferret scene in Book 4.
P.s....the music in this scene is directly from the end of Sorcerer's Stone, which started me BAWLING.

I really enjoyed the movie, and thought it was done very well.
I love the screenshots of the Epilogue. I just wish they had spent a liiiittle bit more time on the Malfoy family in the movie. They were out of the shot before I could get a good look.

I thought Draco looked like a bit of a weenie. But I loved Emma and how she portrayed a mother, it was just amazing!

Aww I get warm fuzzies looking at these!
It actually was really well done! I would've Ron to have had some of his lines from the book because they were hilarious but Rupert was just so awesome anyways in this scene ( looking like a proud daddy) that I can live with his lines being cut. Actually all of them were awesome in this scene, makeup: SO MUCH BETTER than from what we got to see of the cast in makeup from the first shoot.
My only complaint is that they didn't shoot as much stuff for the 2nd filming of the epilogue as they did for the first. I hope Yates releases that for the DVD.

Very nice. But I still can't stand Ginny. I know, I know. Chosen One's wife blah blah she's a hero blah. Never can like her though. Doesn't help that they gave her little importance in the final 2 movies.

Have some of you seen the first epilogue? :O
I wish it was longer too, but hopefully there's more in the mega version of the DVD |

I would have loved it if it had been a little longer, maybe just because I just didn't want it to be over; but it was beautifully done. I think using the most poignant moments from that scene was the best way to go because they invoked the most emotion. I think everybody looked great, and the resemblance between older Harry and the actor who played his father was spot on.
Now I'm all misty-eyed again....
