There were two scenes being filmed today; both come at the end of HP5.
First was the recovery of Professor McGonagall after her incident with
the Death Eaters outside Hagrid's hut; also following the attack at the
Ministry and Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall is resting in her chair, reading the headline 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
returns' in her Daily Prophet whilst speaking to Hagrid (today it was
Martin Bayford standing in for Hagrid). We couldn't hear the dialogue
but he was obviously comforting her after being hit by so many hexes.
Dame Maggie Smith looked absolutely wonderful, and the new robes, worn
by both teachers and students, are great.
At the same time this scene was being shot, from both front and rear
(with the camera rising up to Hagrid's chest only) the Slytherins were
being filmed. They were talking about the aftermath of Voldemort's return,
and Draco, of course, was the centre of attention. He declared that his
father and other Death Eaters would no doubt now win the battle!
Despite the scenes being filmed over and over again, you couldn't wait
to watch, it was such good fun.
During filming we also saw David Heyman, the producer, riding his bike
to and from the set and also later on signing books for some boys and
chatting. |
