1. In Deathly Hallows 2, it is revealed that Professor Snape was once in love with Lily, Harry Potter's mother. The performer of the role of Snape, Alan Rickman, is the only person in the world who knew this plot twist 10 years ago. Joanne Rowling herself told the actor about this, believing that this would help him in his work on the image. Actor Alan Rickman 2. Composer Alexandre Desplat, who wrote the music for both parts of The Deathly Hallows, says his favorite character is the house elf Dobby. “I was sad to work on the second part of the film,” Desplat said in an interview, “because Dobby died in the first. I would like him to stay alive and continue to be friends with Harry and the others." Elf Dobby 3. Due to technical problems, the final scene of the film, in which the grown-up characters send their children to Hogwarts, had to be re-shot. This happened already during installation. Moreover, this time it was not possible to rent the King Cross station, so the actors had to play in the pavilion against a green background. And the image of the station was superimposed separately, using materials from one of the old surveys. Emma Watson could not hold back her tears during the premiere of the final part of the film 4. The role of Draco Malfoy's wife in the film's epilogue is played by Jade Olivia, the girlfriend of Tom Felton (who plays Draco). It was Tom's idea, and he managed to insist on it. Jade Olivia and Tom Felton 5. Actors Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are not enthusiastic about filming the kiss between Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. “It was terrible,” Grint said in a recent interview. At the same time, the scene was filmed from only the 10th take. For comparison, the kiss between Ron and Lavender Brown (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) took 15 takes, and the kiss between Harry and Chou Chang (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) was re-shot more than 30 times. They seem to enjoy kissing each other... Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson at the premiere of the final Harry Potter film in New York 6. Rupert Grint did not believe until the last moment that his Ron would survive. “I was sure that one of the main characters would die at the end, and I thought that it would most likely be Ron, because Harry is the main character of the book, and Hermione is a girl. In general, I am grateful to JK Rowling that she decided to keep all three alive, ”says the actor. Rupert Grint 7. Boxoffice.com experts are confident that the latest Harry Potter film will set a new world record for opening fees. At the moment, the palm belongs to the film "The Dark Knight" - it grossed $ 150 million in the first days of hire. The first part of "Deathly Hallows" managed to collect only $125 million.

The book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" describes the death of Crabbe during the Battle of Hogwarts - he defended one of the Horcruxes, the diadem of Candida Ravenclaw. But in the film, Goyle dies instead. Crabbe was written out of the script for the last part, as the performer of his role, Jamie Waylett, was involved in a drug scandal.

If you are one of those who are still waiting for a letter from Hogwarts, then this post is for you.

Until it comes website invites you to digress and learn the secrets of the magical world.

1. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley never officially graduated from Hogwarts

After Voldemort was killed and his minions surrendered, neither Ron nor Harry wanted to return to Hogwarts and graduate. Only Hermione (unexpectedly) wanted to pass all the exams and participate in the graduation. However, all this did not prevent the guys from getting a job at the Ministry of Magic. Harry and Ron became Aurors (fighters with dark magic), and Hermione received a post in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. If we take into account The Cursed Child (this is a play and a script book), then she also became the Minister of Magic.

2. How old were Dumbledore and Voldemort at the time of death?

Dumbledore was really old, at the time of his death he was 115 years old, a little short of 116. Voldemort, no matter how much he wanted to become immortal, died at only 71 years old.

3 Harry, Ron And Hermione Appeared On Chocolate Frog Cards

Moaning Myrtle - a ghost girl - was about a year old at the time of her death. Interestingly, she was entrusted to play the adult actress Shirley Henderson, who coped with her task remarkably, despite the fact that she was years old at the time of shooting Goblet of Fire.

6 Hagrid Didn't Have His Own Patronus

Due to the fact that this spell was very difficult for him, the giant could not defend himself against the Dementors. It's a good thing he never met them after Azkaban.

7 Rupert Grint Was Kicked Off Set While Filming Hermione And Harry Kiss

It is not known what made Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) laugh so much that he laughed so deafeningly when Daniel and Emma pretended to kiss Harry and Hermione, but he was even removed from the set to finish the scene calmly.

8. Hogwarts is a free school

When the Internet calculated the approximate cost of studying at a school of magic, Rowling categorically denied that Hogwarts takes money for education. According to her, it is the Ministry of Magic that pays all the school expenses. If only it were so in our world.

9. It took 40 people 7 months to build Hogwarts for the movie.

The decorators did a great job building the layout of the building in such a short time. Moreover, the work did not end throughout the filming, as the required angles changed from film to film. But their work did not disappear even after all the films were shot. This layout can be seen in the current theme park.

10. Until the age of 11, wizard children are homeschooled.

By virtue of the "Statute of Secrecy", wizards under the age of 11 must be brought up at home, since it is believed that before this age they cannot control their magical power and ordinary people can expose them

11. Glasses are Daniel Radcliffe's favorite prop.

Harry Potter's calling card is round glasses. No wonder they sunk into Daniel's heart so much. In total, during the filming, he "demolished" 160 pairs.

12. JK Rowling's favorite mythical character is the phoenix

13 Dumbledore's Biggest Dream Is His Family Reunion

The professor saw his family together in the mirror of Einalezh (a mirror showing the innermost desire of a person). His father, mother and sister are alive, and his brother again began to warmly communicate with him. This is what Dumbledore saw instead of the woolen socks he told Harry Potter about.

14. Dean Thomas always thought he was a Muggle because he was raised by his mother and foster father - common people

A classmate of Harry, Ron and Hermione, Dean Thomas, thought in vain that he was from a Muggle family. Indeed, his mother and stepfather were ordinary people, but Thomas' real father is a wizard. He never revealed to his wife who he was because he feared for her life. Killed by the Death Eaters due to his refusal to join them.

15. Ordinary people on the site of Hogwarts see the ruins

This week has been a good one for me and I was finally able to get out to London to interview the cast on the set of Harry Potter. Today I want to tell you about Rupert Grinte, who played the red-haired, beloved Ron Weasley.

Is it true that you had to leave the set during the kiss between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Hermione (Emma Watson) because you couldn't stop laughing?
Yep, it was the case. Emma and Dan kissed with silver body paint to make the scene surreal.

Was Dan also asked to come out when you were kissing Emma?
Yes.

Was this film more physically demanding than the others? How did you manage filming?
Yes, the seventh part is physically more difficult than the previous ones. The heroes are no longer at Hogwarts, but in the real world full of dangers. Wherever they go, they risk their lives. There were a lot of running loads, which I'm not used to. Of course, in other films there were also chases, but in the seventh part they took on an aggressive character.

What was it like working away from Hogwarts?
I enjoyed filming scenes outside of school without all those annoying props. We slept right under the open sky, it was an amazing time.

In parallel, you starred in other films. How much free time did you have? After all, in the seventh part you are in almost every scene.
You are right, I worked almost every day, and there was almost no free time left. When I took a vacation for a few months, I immediately wanted to try myself in a new role. I'm glad that I managed to light up in other films besides Harry Potter. On top of all that, I was able to get some rest.

By taking time off and doing other projects, did you gain the experience to continue filming Harry Potter?
Of course. The more people you work with, the more you learn. It's really curious to see how other films are made. Harry Potter gave me a unique shooting experience. I know I won't experience anything like this again, so it's interesting to watch other directors work.

Daniel and I talked about shooting the first and last films. Has anything changed since the arrival of David Yates? Did your character stay the same or did the director change as well?
Oh, David is a great director! He gave us more freedom and gave us the opportunity to play this or that scene at our discretion. During these 10 years, I was able to get used to my role, so I did not have any problems.

Soon the first Harry Potter films will be shown on television. Probably after watching you will say: "Oh my God, how have I changed?"
Yes, it is simply impossible not to notice the difference, especially in the first films. Everything happened before our eyes. All previous films are like home videos of my growing up. [Laughter] I can always go back to it and remember the old days.

Tom Felton told us that he learned a lot of interesting facts about Draco thanks to JK Rowling. How well do you know Ron?
I don't think I know everything about him. Joan didn't give me any advice or comment. I acted according to the book and most of all I was afraid to find out that in the end my hero would die.

Did you turn to books before you started filming?
Of course, I re-read the books before every movie to refresh my memory.

When did you find out Ron and Hermione were going to be together?
Already in the first part, notes of love were traced. This became especially noticeable after the scene of jealousy. It was clear that Ron and Hermione's kiss was indispensable in the final film. But most of all, I was surprised by the epilogue when I found out that we would have children together.

Do you take advice from the Harry Potter directors? In all these years, what advice have they given you?
Of course, I was lucky with the directors. I have learned something from each of them. All of them have their own approach to the film. But I think that only David Yates was consistent and kept close to history. It was very easy and interesting to work with him.

What is Yeats like at work?
David completely trusted the actors and gave complete freedom. Maybe because we justified his hopes. All in all, he is a great director.

Talking about filming an epilogue is hard for each of us. But it is in the epilogue that the most interesting events take place, which it is simply a sin not to ask about.
Yes it is. At the first meeting with the children in the film, we all remembered ourselves in childhood. They were so similar to us that I was even a little scared. [Laughter] I'm looking forward to Ron's daddy scene. [Laughs] I'm not a grown man, but I hope it didn't turn out so bad.

The scene with the medallion was really scary. How was it for you to work on the green screen and provoke strong emotions?
This is a great moment for Ron, where he can finally feel like a hero by destroying the Horcrux. The medallion began to manipulate him, talking about family and Hermione, but Ron stood up to the Horcrux. This was the best scene, despite the fact that it was given to me with difficulty.

What do you know about this episode?
I was informed that in this scene there will be a kiss between Daniel and Emma.

What do you value most about Ron?
Ron has always been my favorite character in the book. I felt a strong connection with him, and a little with Ginny. I just liked the laid-back nature of my character.

Did you reread the essay about your character that Alfonso Cuarón asked you to write?
I think Dan and Emma wrote something [Laughs] But I didn't write anything, I really don't remember why. Oh yes. I was taking my exams at the time.

Do you remember anything from the set of Harry Potter?
It's hard to say goodbye to a movie without taking anything with you. On the last day, I screwed up Ron's house number. And they gave me a deluminator, which I was incredibly happy about!

I know the Deathly Hallows will burn Hogwarts. What other surprises did you provide us with in the final part?
The second part is just awful. It reminded me of a war movie. People are dying all over the world. The Gryffindor common room where I grew up is in pieces. This is the last movie. Everything, end. There will be no continuation. And this is very sad to realize.

After 10 years of filming, how long will you move away from being Ron?
I don't know how long it will take and don't want to go into details. Shooting took half of my life. I don't remember life before that.

The new Harry Potter movie ("...and the Deathly Hallows") is somehow prettier than the previous one ("...and the Half-Blood Prince"). Although, like all "Potters" directed by David Yates, this is just an illustration for the novel. Good, but not essential. Warm Hogwarts, Quidditch, butterbeer parties, Christmas trees - all behind. Harry, Ron and Hermione are no longer children, and it's time for them to go to the last battle against evil. David Yates knows how to create a tense atmosphere: all you have to do is darken the frame, let in more shades of black, gray and brown. In two and a half hours, the bright sun will appear once (and even then it is covered by clouds, through which the Death Eater rushes like an ink stream). Yates tries to maintain the color and atmosphere, as in Perov's painting "The Drowned Woman": heroes with lean faces wander either through picturesque rocks, or through gloomy forests, or along the dusty corridors of dull houses. However, all this darkness is just a move by the director, who was going to gently nightmare the viewer for five hours (and this is the total duration of two episodes) with the sole purpose of making him more happy with the scene in which the dead Voldemort is lying on the floor of the Hogwarts assembly hall in the dazzling rays of the dawn sun to universal applause. We will see this frame in July, when the second series of The Deathly Hallows will be released, but any person with minimal imagination and familiar with the work of Rowling and Yates can mentally draw it now. Five naive questions about the painting 1. Is the movie very different from the book? There are differences. For example, the first scene is not Voldemort's party, but the Minister of Magic's press conference. It is followed by episodes in which the young heroes leave their parents' houses... And the relationship between Harry and Hermione is more complicated (see below). But in fact, the changes are purely cosmetic. 2. Can you watch the film if you haven't seen the previous films? If you have not read Rowling's books and have not seen their film adaptations, then you have nothing to do with this film. Even someone who read the novel three and a half years ago struggles at times to remember who Mundungus Fletcher or Mad-Eye Moody are. 3. Why isn't the movie in 3D? Studio Warner Bros. calculated that she would not be able to translate the first part of the "Deathly Hallows" in 3D before November. The second part of the "Deathly Hallows", which will be released in July next year, will be in 3D. 4. Is there a chance that Potter will continue? Previously, Rowling had solemnly promised that she would complete the Potter series in the seventh volume. But in a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, she suddenly announced that she could “easily” write the eighth, ninth and tenth books of the series. This gave rise to a wave of gossip. Daniel Radcliffe immediately commented: even if there is a new book about Harry, he definitely will not star in the film adaptation. However, a little later, he told reporters that Rowling had sent him an SMS, in which she assured that she would not write anything more about Potter. 5. Is it true that Harry and Hermione kiss there? There is a scene where Harry and Hermione dance to Nick Cave's O Children (there doesn't seem to be a dance in the novel). In the "real" world, this is the maximum closeness they achieve. But in the hellish vision that appears at some point to Ron, there really is an episode where half-naked Harry and Hermione merge into an embrace. Commenting on this moment, Radcliffe on one program said that Emma Watson kisses passionately like an animal. Watson got angry. “When we walked off the red carpet at the premiere of “Harry Potter”, she turned to me and said: “So you called me an animal?” Well, why, yes, we had such an animal kiss ... I think most men will agree that this is a positive epithet, ”Radcliffe later justified in another interview. WHAT DO THE SPELLS IN HARRY POTTER MEAN? Most of the spells in Rowling's novels are in Latin. Moreover, this Latin, as a rule, is intuitively understandable to the English-speaking reader - in English, a huge number of words have Latin roots. "Accio!" - a spell with which you can quickly attract the right thing to the magician - is translated from Latin as "I call!". "Avada Kedavra!" - A death spell that kills a person. Rowling said: "This is an ancient spell in Aramaic, from which came" abracadabra ", and it means" Let it die! ". Initially, with the help of this spell, they tried to heal people, while destroying the disease. But I decided that "it" in the spell means a person. In general, I allow myself a lot of liberties, twisting things and making them mine. Some translate "avada kedavra" as "I kill with my word" and recall that the name of the Jewish demon Abadonna, who appears in the Apocalypse and in The Master and Margarita, came from "avada", in particular. The word "kedavra" to the English reader reminds the word cadaver, which came from Latin, - "corpse". "Expelliarmus!" - a spell that can be used to disarm another wizard by tearing his wand out of his hands. Derived from the Latin expellere ("pull out") and arma ("weapon"). "Crucio!" - a torture spell, because of it, the person at whom the magic wand is directed begins to suffer and writhe. From the Latin crucio - "I torment". "Lumos!" - turns a magic wand into a flashlight. From the Latin lumen - "light". How Daniel (and his hero Harry) has changed Now that Daniel Radcliffe has grown into some kind of moose, it's already ridiculous to remember that nine years and seven films ago he was a quiet touching boy with glasses. However, we tried...

2001 "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Harry in the story is 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe at the time of filming - too. "Wow! It's an honor for me to play Harry. It's just wonderful because Harry Potter has such an interesting life! As for fame, my mom and dad told me to just enjoy being recognized on the streets. There are worse things in life!”

2002 "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" Harry and Daniel are 12 years old. "I really like that the new film is darker than the first and I can showcase Harry's dark side - he's not as innocent as you think."

2004 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry is 13, Daniel is 14. “I'm going through what any thirteen or fourteen year old boy goes through right now. Hormones are an interesting thing; I blow off steam by listening to a lot of rock music."

2005 "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Harry is 14, Daniel is 15. “In an ideal world, I would go to the Christmas ball with Natalie Portman. Or with Scarlett Johansson.

If you suddenly decided that you already know everything about everyone's favorite series about the adventures of a wizard boy, we are in a hurry to dispel your delusion 😎 See for yourself! 😱

The reason why Harry's eyes are blue in the film version, and not green like Lily's, is simple and ridiculous to the point of impossibility - during the fitting of lenses, Radcliffe was found to be allergic to them.

Tom Felton carried sweets in the pockets of his robes straight to the court. When it was opened, the pockets had to be sewn up.

Despite the fact that the final part of the film adaptation of the adventures of Harry Potter was released already 6 years ago, the glory of the story about the boy who survived does not subside at all. And we are sure that you will be interested to see how cool special effects were made 😎

1. Voldemort's makeup

Ralph Fiennes wore Voldemort make-up 60-70 times throughout the filming. Each time, three people pored over the image for two or three hours: stickers on the eyebrows, darkening of the eyes, vein marks, false teeth and nails, and in general the whole pale appearance.

2. Spider Aragog

The corpse of the giant spider Aragog was made by a team of 20 people for six months. It weighed about a ton and was about the size of a small car, so a crane was needed to get it to the set.

3 Harry's Gills

The gills themselves were made of silicone and silk in such a way that they behave naturally under water, like real gills. It turned out cool!

4. Pool of memory

To make a wonderful Pensieve of Memory, a green screen was placed in the bowl, and a video sequence of memories was already superimposed on it.

5. Pouty Aunt Marge

To make a balloon out of Aunt Marge, she had to resort to plastic makeup, large inflatable chambers and pumps. “We made a face camera that we molded to look like her face, put it over a balloon on her face and inflated it.

6. Magic of things

To create the magic had to go to a lot of tricks. This is a self-cleaning pan. And these are books that put themselves in their place.
