| EmmaRiddle | 09-04-2006 05:29 PM | OotP set report & pictures - Voldemort appears at Kings Cross A report and further pictures from the filming that took place yesterday at Kings Cross, have emerged. The all-day shoot included Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright (Ginny), James & Oliver Phelps (Fred & George), Julie Walters (Molly Weasley), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), George Harris (Shacklebolt), Natalia Tena (Tonks), and Brendan Gleeson (Moody). Amongst other things, the report reveals that Harry sees Voldemort at the railway station. Quote: Ext. Platform Nine and Three Quarters
Harry walks to Hogwarts Express; he sees Voldemort.
This is clearly a departure from the book, in which the nastiest person Harry sees at King's Cross is Lucius Malfoy. Although Ralph Fiennes wasn't on set, his double was, indicating that although we don't get a remarkably clear view of Voldemort in the scene, he is still there in the flesh rather than just a disturbing vision of Harry's.
In the scene filmed today, Dan simply walked along the Hogwarts Express as the conductor's whistle blew and steam billowed out.

When filming resumed after lunch, the doubles for Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred & George, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Mad-Eye Moody, and Shacklebolt began rehearsing a scene on the footbridge that connects Platform 8 to Platform 1, which was also closed off to the public today. The scene that they were filming is as follows: Ext. Platform - Bridge

At 4:00, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, James & Oliver Phelps, Julie Walters, Mark Williams, Natalia Tena, Brendan Gleeson, and George Harris came back to the station to actually shoot the scene.
