| | | Stuart Craig cried watching Snape's death filming for Deathly Hallows
In a new interview with the Telegraph, production designer Stuart Craig (who is up for a BAFTA tomorrow for his work in Half-Blood Prince), spoke about some of his favourite pieces of sets and instruments used throughout the Harry Potter films, including the Monster Book of Monsters, the Angel of Death found at the graveyard in Goblet of Fire, the Weasley family clock, and much more.
In regards to the current production of Deathly Hallows, Stuart revealed that Professor's Snape's death scene took place a week before the interview, and stated that he actually cried afterwards, due to Alan's brilliant performance. He also noted that a new Golden Snitch had to be created for the final film, as it will be the one to open when Harry walks into the Forbidden Forest to face Voldemort.
The full interview, courtesy of RupertGrint.net, can be read below.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011. |

To each his own, I guess. :S
But I would definitely start bawling, Snape's one of the greatest literary characters, it IS going to be very heart rendering scene |

Aw. Reading this made me feel sad! It feels weird thinking that they've already filmed this scene. Poor Snape.
On a brighter note though I really liked the map Jo drew for them! It's epic! |

Oh, man. This sounds like it's going to be one heck of an emotionally overwhelming scene, as will be many others in the DH movies. I'll definitely have a few packs of tissues tucked away in my purse.

| Wow. That's intense. I can't wait to see what the scene turned out like...though Snape was one of those characters who I kinda had to hate at times, I just...might cry. |

And of course after Snape's last words, “look at me” I’m going to be an absolute wreck.
I also think there’s a lot of symbolism in having Snape die in the Shrieking Shack. In a way, it was the Marauder’s club house and I think Snape was always envious of them. Assuming, of course, that the location hasn't changed.

Oooo, they filmed that scene already? Excellent. I'm so happy that Stuart Craig is satisfied with the end result... man, if he cried at that scene, then there's no way I'll manage to stay dry-eyed when Snape dies! Let alone the 'Into the Forest' moment, the emotion of the battle scenes, the deaths of tonks and lupin, the powerful euphoria in the great hall after the defeat of Voldemort...
If done correctly, the final half of Deathly-Hallows part 2 can be a real sob-fest. COME ON Yates, please get this right!

I'll probably cry too, I never used to like Snape but once I found out he really was a good guy I started to like him.

I'm going to cry so much when poor Snapey dies :'(
I always hated him until I figured out how brave and semi-loving he actually was.
I can't wait!
