During the Slughorn home's scene, Dan and David voice how good of a scene it is in the fact that it introduces the world of magic.

On David Yates' view on making the films: Dan alisema that Yates has the ability to see the entire film just from one still.

On Alan Rickman, David alisema he loved his eyebrows, while Dan loves his dry sense of humour.
Dan loved Lupin as a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and even noted that David Thewlis gave him tutoring lessons on Twelfth Night.

On Bellatrix: Dan thinks Bella is childlike and also evil; David alisema that wewe look in her eyes and she feels a little bit out of control. Dan stated that he's become a bit like Helena Bonham Carter's personal assistant on the set of Deathly Hallows, in that he's constantly picking up after her.

Dan and David were gushing over the quality of the Half-Blood Prince Blu-ray (it was the first time Dan used it). Dan noted that Emma's image on Blu-ray is her only competition in terms of beauty.

Tom Felton began filming Deathly Hallows at the end of the summer; he and Dan became good Marafiki through Tom's girlfriend, Jade, who is one of Dan's best friends.

On their favourite CGI sequences in the Harry Potter series: David alisema it was the sixth movie's Inferi and cave set. Dan alisema one of his favourite scenes to film was the dragon chase in Goblet of Fire.

Dan was asked if he would consider joining Twitter, but he alisema no. However, he does like the idea of it and interacting with fans. He alisema that being able to convey a thought in 140 characters au less would be a challenge for him.

Choosing between Slughorn and Snape as a better Potions Master, they alisema that since Slughorn taught Snape, he would be better; Dan noted Harry's bias against Snape, and that he would prefer Slughorn more.

Dan noted that while Slughorn and Ron are rather outgoing characters on-screen, Jim Broadbent and Rupert Grint, respectively, are shy off-screen.

They both spoke about Hero Fiennes, who played young Tom Riddle in Half-Blood Prince, and as he is Ralph Fiennes nephew, he was "a young Voldemort in training."

For the birds used in the Vanishing Cabinet Draco uses in the Room of Requirement in Half-Blood Prince, Dan alisema it took him a few readings to figure out its significance.

On Deathly Hallows filming, Barron alisema that filming will end around late-spring early-summer, then there's the dubbing stage, and post-production. They will be doing work on it for another year, at least. There are plans for Leavesden after the sinema are done.

Butterbeer tastes like J-20 with froth on it, according to Dan. They both mention that real Butterbeer will be sold at the Harry Potter theme park inayofuata mwaka (Barron alisema it tasted very nice).

Dan alisema that he does have a say in Harry's costuming, in that his clothes should "look good, but look forgettable," aliyopewa his origins. As the sinema go on, the kids are seen less and less in their Hogwarts robes.

Dan alisema that his stage work in Equus has made him zaidi confident as an actor, both on stage and screen, especially aliyopewa how exposed he was in front of thousands of people live.

On wearing Muggle clothes in the series, as they got older, it paralleled to the fact that Muggle students around 16-17 in schools wear regular clothes and not uniforms. Plus, it shows them as zaidi adult-like, according to Dan.

For the Great Hall scene, Dan noted he loved the colours in the scenes (the Gryffindor robes), and Luna blinking lion's hat. They give upendo to Evanna because of her artistic merit and what she brings to the character.

On Ron and Lavender's kiss, Dan alisema he Lost all professionalism that siku and teased and joked with Rupert all day. He alisema that Matthew Lewis teased him on the Order of the Phoenix set about Harry and Cho's kiss, so it was time for revenge.

Dan lists Rupert's cars: bright-orange Range Rover; ice cream van that was recently repaired and does actually make ice cream; he used to have a mini-cooper with Knight Rider designs; a Chevy pick-up truck that never works (which he brings onto the set to onyesha off); and a hovercraft. He alisema that Rupert wouldn't be the kind of person to onyesha off what he bought, and would just mention it in passing. David also got night-goggles for Rupert so he can ride on his hovercraft in the dark.

Dan and David's favourite Weasley is Ron, though they are fond of the entire lot.

On British actors they couldn't get into the films and wanted to, they list: Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Daniel Craig, Juliet Stevenson, Ricky Gervais.

They alisema that the Burrow set is "cramped and crooked."

Dan alisema that the easiest scenes to film are action sequences, because he can throw himself into it. During the Burrow scene when Harry sees the moto and runs after Bellatrix, Dan noted that it was "terrible parenting," and wondered why the adults didn't stop Harry au Ginny from running off.

Dan and David confirmed that the five actors - Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Emma Watson, and Tom Felton - will play their adult selves in the epilogue.

The pair alisema that their favourite villain in the series is Voldemort, of course, the embodiment of evil.

Dan mentioned that when he found out Richard Harris, the original actor who played Albus Dumbeldore, died, he just cried and cried. He also remembered having rather enjoyed filming the scenes with Fawkes in Dumbledore's office from Chamber of Secrets, because it kept speaking back to him.

Dan's favourite set is the Ministry of Magic atrium; David's is the Gryffindor common room for its warmth and detail.

Between Colin Creevey and Lavender Brown on who would be zaidi annoying, Dan and David alisema that Colin's sweet, but Lavender's a bit irritating.

Dan on the Sectumsempra scene was like he and Tom "playing cowboys and Indians."

Dan alisema that he's broken about seven wands on set; Devon Murray about eight; but David Thewlis holds the record at about 12.

Dan alisema he'd be put into Hufflepuff ("nice, but clueless"), but really they'd like to be in Gryffindor, since they know it the best.

David's favourite plant are the mandrakes; Dan's is the Devil's Snare, which he found cool, but not something to get caught in.

Dan alisema that he was the one who told Gary Oldman that Sirius died on the set of Prisoner of Azkaban in 2003. When Harry mourned Dumbledore's body at the end of Half-Blood Prince, Dan alisema that Michael kept pulling faces to distract him.

Dan mentioned that Michael Gambon had not yet begun filming scenes for Deathly Hallows (and was admonished kwa David for letting that information slip).

Dumbledore's funeral will NOT be in Deathly Hallows, even if it wasn't in Half-Blood Prince. It was discussed between the Davids and Steve Kloves, but they felt it was just too many endings for the film. They tried hard to keep it in, but felt the balance was wrong, according to Barron.

~ "No - no - no!" someone was shouting. "No! Fred! No!"
And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred's eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face.

Harry: “Who?”

Dumbledore's office
*Dumbledore's office, a quiet retreat and study for the sage Headmaster, was located in one of the highest towers of Hogwarts. Dumbledore's fascination with the universe and the skies became the room's defining feature.

*One of the most expensive heshima in the film was the working telescope in Dumbledore's office which was rarely seen on screen.

*On the shelves in Dumbledore's office are hundreds of books, many of which are actually old phonebooks covered in leather and dust.

Gryffindor common room
*The Gryffindor common room and the boys' dormitory were actually built as two connected sets. The staircase spirals up to a hallway that in one direction led to the boys' dormitory set. In the other direction a doorway simply drops off into nowhere.

I've noticed that (here, anyway) a lot of mashabiki seem to have severe opinions of Snape. Either they hate him, au they upendo him and he's the best character ever. I don't see many who have a mixed opinion of him, so I'm going to try to explain mine.

I think that, while Snape was extremely brave spying on Voldemort and the Death Eaters for many years - and I can't imagine how hard that would have been - there are also many bad points about him.

+ I do pity him his childhood. Parental breakup and them fighting all the time, being poor, being picked on and isolated. Poor him. Unlike others though, I...
