Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the run, thrust into what Ron (Rupert Grint) calls ‘a scary and unpredictable world where anyone could be working for Voldemort’ as they chercher for the remaining horcruxes in order to defeat the Dark Lord.
To whet your appetite we’ve conjured up some truly wizard facts about ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’:
• The film’s budget is estimated to have been £150 million. John Hurt (Mr Ollivander in the films) ranted recently about the ‘quite absurd’ amount of money spent on ‘Harry Potter’ films. He said: ‘I look around and there are three costumes there, none of which are likely to be worn, and they’re all replicas of each other. It’s a vacuous waste of money and it drives me insane.’
• The two ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ films are the first in the ‘Harry Potter’ series to be released in cinemas in complete 3D versions. For ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ only some scenes were available.
• Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double David Holmes was seriously injured in January 2009 when he fell from a harness. The former gymnaste was at Leavesden film studios (Watford, Herts) rehearsing a flying scene that involved an explosion when the accident occurred.
• And it wasn’t only his double sustaining injuries - Radcliffe himself got a war wound. During filming, a giant snake that Harry was fighting was simulated par a stick with a boxing gant on the end, held par the stunt coordinator. Radcliffe was caught par surprise and received a blow in the face that knocked him down, but seems thrilled with his injury. In a récent interview he said: ‘Until now nothing really bad happened to me, only a few scratches. But I'm happy because I finally got a big black eye during the shooting of ‘Deathly Hallows’.’
• It was all drama at Leavesden as in March 2009, soon after Holmes’ injury, a feu started on set. The feu started during the filming of ‘a big special effects scene’ and took 40 minutes to extinguish but caused no injuries. Apparently there was no damage to the studios and the actual set was ‘due to be rebuilt anyway’ for a new battle scene in ‘Deathly Hallows’ Part 2.
• Following the enthusiastic reception of his birthday suit in ‘Equus’, Radcliffe will apparently be delighting female fans again par appearing naked in the new film. When a horcrux forces Ron to imagine his worst fears, playing on his insecurities, one of the images he sees is Harry and Hermione s’embrasser and embracing. ‘Deathly Hallows’ Director David Yates has supposedly confirmed that at this point Harry will be nude, and that he bares all a seconde time at the Kings traverser, croix scene later in the film.
• Rhys Ifans is thrilled ‘that they thought of me to play a cross-eyed wizard’ (Xenophilus Lovegood, Luna Lovegood’s father) and honoured to act alongside big name actors like Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon but admits that he hasn’t read ‘The Deathly Hallows’ book and is ‘not a big fan of Harry Potter’!
• In the first film, Griphook the goblin was played par Verne Troyer, one of the few Americans in the cast, but voiced par Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick). In ‘Deathly Hallows’ Davis is both Griphook’s body and his voice, whilst continuing to play Flitwick,
• ‘Deathly Hallows’ is the first time Brendan Gleeson and David O’Hara have acted in the same film since ‘Braveheart’ in 1995. Gleeson plays ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody and O’Hara plays Albert Runcorn – the Ministry of Magic official who Harry impersonates with Polyjuice Potion in order to enter the Ministry.
• Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) considered not returning for this film as he feared he would have little ou no time on screen, after his character was imprisoned at the end of the fifth book, but on meeting J.K. Rowling and begging to be released from prison, she told him ‘You’re out. Chapter One.’ and he signed on for ‘Deathly Hallows’.
• J.K Rowling told Alan Rickman the reasoning behind Severus Snape’s strange behaviour towards Harry years before it was disclosed in the ‘Deathly Hallows’ book. Snape’s l’amour for Lily Potter (née Evans), Harry’s mother, is the reason he both detests and wants to protect ‘the boy who lived’, and Rowling claims ‘He needed to understand, I think, and does completely understand and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who's living proof of [Lily's] preference for another man, came from.’
• In the epilogue in ‘Deathly Hallows’ Part 2 the cast play their characters in the future, using a combination of prosthetics, computer generated imagery and convincing acting, as in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’. In this epilogue the wife of Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), Astoria Greengrass, is played par his real life girlfriend Jade Olivia.

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared par and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.
Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" a dit Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if toi ever want to see your parents again toi will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" a dit James.
"This doesn't add up" a dit Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." a dit James. "We will!" they all a dit in unison.

About those great livres par J. K. Rowling
Three little livres that appeal to all ages

And a young boy who is quite ordinary in appearance

And becomes a member of Griffindor, the house that's really cool
But its not all work, there's also time for fun
A great game called Quidditch which has to be won
With balai, genêt à balais that fly and a manteau that makes him disappear
We know this young wizard will enjoy his an
But it's plus than one an - it's going to be Seven!
For the amoureux of fantaisie that sounds like heaven!
If toi haven't yet read about Harry Potter
Well, toi really ought 'ter!
