What does the future hold for someone like a Daniel Radcliffe? Will he live off the trust fund or has he been so cast to type that he'll have to wait a decade to do stuff...or does he genuinely have a future in other or similar genres?

As much as I enjoy the books and the films ( the first 2 are bearable but better than any of the SW prequels, The 3rd & 4th are the best) yes it is a shameless way to make more money, Warner saw the end of their franchise and then conveniently after editing loads of content (some quite controversially for some fans) they hit on the idea of using the fact they have to include all the facts to make it into 2 movies.

As much as I like most of the HP movies, I feel that the SW Prequels are much better than any of them. Including PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

The trust fund if we're lucky. But he seems to have done OK so far getting other roles.

I've came across a very nice Interview with Director David Yates, on Deathly Hallows...

CS: How has that been working out? For the seventh movie, are you literally shooting scenes for both halves at the same time or are you shooting one then shooting the other before doing editing on the first?
Yates: We're trying to finish one and start the other, but simply because of availability of actors, we're having to shoot a little bit of Part 2 while we're doing Part 1. I would say we shot about 10% of Part 2 and about 85% of Part 1, so there's a wee bit of checkerboarding but not much, and it's going brilliantly. We've been shooting for five months. We finish shooting next spring, and it's quite a long shoot for both movies, but it feels great. It's looking very different to what we've done before and it feels very contemporary and quite edgy, certainly Part 1, and Part 2 I just want it to be epic. I've never made a film ever that's like Part 2. It's much more of a ride in a sense. It's got huge set pieces and that's what I'm really excited to do.

CS: And these are all new sets and locations? Because the first six movies have all been at the same Hogwarts sets just redecorated and dressed differently.
Yates: Yeah, yeah, and this time we're out on the road and then we come back to Hogwarts, but the difference is we trash it. We blow it up. It turns into Stalingrad, which will be really haunting.

I think we might see him specialize in theater more and stay off the big screen.

Radcliffe in theatre? I thought that industry 'insiders' like our dear Zorin don't think too highly of him...

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

Rotten Tomatoes found an interview with David Heyman about HBP AND DH Parts I and II. So don't read it if you don't want to have the movie spoiled......

What I found interesting was that he says that an ultimate collector's edition is on the way.... I would totally buy it!

Well my friend saw him in Equus and he wasn't too thrilled but not much to go on.

I think by his looks, voice and overall demeanour, how many roles could he be offered? Typecasting here we come. Theater would provide more chance for variation I think if he's up to it.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Thunderpants? I'll get right on it...

No, there was one that he did with Julie Walters around the time of Goblet of Fire; I think it was called Driving Lessons, or something?

Also, Hark, it might be interesting to see Grint in a role like Dog, the sadistic gangster from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels; what say you?

[HildebrandRarity]

Ha ha...remember when a bitter Pierce Brosnan was speculating who they would replace him with back in late '04 early '05 and he half-jokingly replied "Daniel Radcliffe", given they were going "younger"?

[Qwerty]

Helena Bonham Carter is the best thing about these films. She shines as a sadistic, cackling pyschopath.

You know something Qwerty, I love her, too.

Anyone else think that she looks like a demonic Eva Green?

Quick question:

Spoiler

What's the importance of Fenrir Greyback? Doesn't he bite one of the Weasley's?

Yes and look how that turned out..

I think that he was supposed to severely injure Bill at the end of The Half Blood Prince, but it was either cut out or unfilmed.

I wonder how the filmmakers are going to do the wedding for Deathly Hallows, since the Burrow was burned down in HBP. If they do do it, where is the wedding going to take place???

I highly doubt it, I've seen set pictures of Radcliffe, Grint and Watson running away from the wedding.

I'd hate to think that; it's a nice scene in the book (being the last bright spot before everything goes to hell), as well as the pivotal lead-in to most of the book's plot threads.

Oh wow, just found this on youtube...



BRILLIANT!

[Mr. Blofeld]

BRILLIANT!

Ever the stereotypical Brit, eh, Matt?

[Harmsway]

It's a decent retrospective, but it's primary effect on me is just to remind me how dull and uninteresting the first two installments were in comparison to the rest of 'em. For me, this franchise starts with PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

[DamnCoffee]

I can see what you mean.

Chris Columbus really did seem to go very light with the first 2. It's interesting to see how PRISONER OF AZKABAN is in comparison.

See, I feel the opposite way. I liked SS, and I LOVED CoS! PoA was kind of the stand in Harry Potter movie. Then, from GoF on, the films went bigger and better.

Ah yes, this is exactly what CBN was missing...ANOTHER thread about Harry Potter

[DamnCoffee]

I've sent a PM to Mr *, asking this to be merged with The Deathy Hallows thread, keeping the title and first post from it. I haven't had a reply as of yet, but I assume he's very busy.

[HildebrandRarity]

Yes. Considerably.

I suppose with a kazillion Potter fans out there, leakage into the premier Bond forums was going to be inevitable.

I know George Lucas loves to milk the cow, but at least he was able to provide us his Dark Lord operetta within three installments totaling no more than 8 hours done over 8 years.

Here we get eight installments over, probably, 21 hours and squished into 10 years or so! Lovely!

...and people wonder why there are problems with quality control with these Warners pics.
