heylo! i've created this new blog coz windows live spaces is really annoying me with it's word limit and stuff!
anyways, mother took me to see the newest harry potter movie yesterday; here's all my favourite quotes, trivia and goofs from imdb!
trivia first:
- At first, this was meant to be only one film, but due to the size of the book, and the decision that nothing could be left out to squeeze into one movie, the producers decided to split it into Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).

-David Holmes, 25, Daniel Radcliffe's stunt-double, was seriously injured on the set at Leavesden Studios, near Watford, Hertfordshire. He was performing an aerial sequence when he fell to the ground following an explosion, which was part of the stunt, and sustained a serious back injury.
-John Williams, who composed the scores to the first three films, expressed his interest in returning to score Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
-Despite having stated that she would not be returning as Professor Sybil Trelawney for this film previously, Emma Thompson recently reported that she had just finished two days worth of filming as the character after all.
-Composer Alexandre Desplat's favorite Harry Potter character is Dobby.
-One of the posters in the diner where the trio ends up in London is from Daniel Radcliffe's play Equus.
-It was announced in August 2009 that Jamie Waylett will not be reprising his role as Vincent Crabbe after his highly-publicized arrest for marijuana possession and cultivation.
-First film in the franchise to cite "sensuality" as a reason for its MPAA rating.
-This is the only Harry Potter film not to feature Hogwarts.
-In the opening of the film, when Hermione is called down to tea, we can hear her parents talking about Australia along with an announcer, presumably on the TV, taking about a country-side. This is a reference to the book, in which Hermione says she not only wiped herself from her parents memories, but gave them new identities and made them think that they'd love nothing more than to move to Australia, which we presume that they do.

-It had been reported that the film would contain a few scenes of Daniel Radcliffe in the nude, leading to speculation among fans that the film would earn a more strict rating. This turned out not to be the case, although the scene in which visions of Harry and Hermione kissing appear to try to deter Ron give the illusion that Radcliffe and Emma Watson are both nude. In reality both actors wore jeans and Watson was provided with a strapless brassiere so she would not have to be completely topless. Director David Yates said that complete nudity was not necessary as the characters would be partially obscured by fog.
-Linguist expert Dr. Francis Nolan devised the Parseltongue language for this and the other Harry Potter films which feature the serpent speak.
-Rhys Ifans admitted that he never read the books of the series but took the role of Mr. Lovegood out of the chance to work with other cast, being the show with an all-star cast.
-According to David Heyman, the work print of the film was at 5.5 hours long, and the shooting script was close to 500 pages, which justified the decision to split the movie into two.
-SPOILER: Filming the torture scene where Bellatrix is torturing Hermione at the Malfoy's Manor at the climax proved to be very intense for the actors involved (Most of the scene was cut to avoid an R rating in the USA and a 15 rating in the UK). So intense and brutal as it was that 'Helena Boham Carter' approached Emma Watson right afterward to make sure they were still on good terms.
-SPOILER: Having Bellatrix carve "mudblood" into Hermione's arm during the torture scene was not in the original script, but it was an idea that both Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter came up with together on the spur of the moment during filming.
-hey, sorry, i don't have time to finish this coz PIG mum's gleefully forcing me off to bed now; i'll try my best to come back toms and finish it, okies? no - wait, toms night is the book club dinner! saturday, then, maybe. :) goodnight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i've still got goofs and favourite quotes left to do; i've only finished the trivia.
