In a new interview with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, done while he was in New York last week, Daniel talks about
'accepting' that the end of making the movies is just months away and the news that Warner Bros. is purchasing Leavesden Studios.
"It will be very sad when it comes to a finishing," Daniel Radcliffe said of his rapidly diminishing days working on the final "Potter" film. "But it's something you have to accept."
"It's also very exciting [to be finishing the series]," he said. "And I'll hopefully have something to go onto shortly afterwards."
Daniel on saying goodbye:
"Yeah, we've had a few people finish off their stories in the film, and they've been going home," Radcliffe said of actors like Helena Bonham Carter, who told us recently that she wrapped a few months ago. "It is odd [seeing them leave].
"I did have a moment the other day, in the makeup room that I have been in for 10 years now," he revealed. "I did walk in and go, 'Wow, this is [hitting me]. One day — in about four or five months from now — I'm gonna walk in here for the last time.' Especially since, after we're done shooting, they're redoing the entire studio, tearing down and starting again."
Additionally, Dan had this to say about the Warner Bros. purchase:
"It's going to be amazing," he said of the renovation of the stages that have housed "Potter" for a decade. "A big investment is going into Leavesden [Studios], and England will finally have a third film studio. They've always had Shepperton and Pinewood, but to have Leavesden? That will do wonders for the film industry in England, which is always a struggle to keep going."
With Warner Bros. recently announcing plans to purchase the studios and establish a permanent U.K. base, Radcliffe told us that it's just another reason the "Harry Potter" films have been such a joy to work on. "What's been amazing about Potter is that Potter has been the major film in England for the last 10 years," explained the star, who also recently used his star power for good while filming a public-service announcement in support of the Trevor Project. "[Our films] have given a lot of people jobs, myself included."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 is scheduled for November 19, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 comes out July 15, 2011.

Nice to see all the comments. I don't think it has fully hit home yet for any of the long term actors. That last wrap up party will be truly amazing for all, and my guess is that many tears will be shed.

It still hasn't hit me that its ending. I probably will cry when it ends. I know everybody that was in the films will all have one big moment when everybody is hugging and crying.

My guess is that once WB tales over the studio, they will keep all of the sets and create a permantent Harry Potter section of the studio where everyone can come and tour the sets and the different departments where all of the fantacy objects and magical things were made. Of course it will all be for a price. 'Ca-Ching!!!!'
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Brilliant...Everyone has done well. I say WB purchasing Leavesden, this is Awesome. I feel that the HP Saga will still go on at Leavesden.
Cheers!

That was a good interview. I try not to think about the end coming, it makes me sad. I love Harry Potter so much and I don't want to see it go. But on the other hand it is good news that WB is purchasing Leavesden and that England will have another film studio and I am confident they will leave all the Harry Potter items as part of a museum perhaps.

It's really gonna hit hard the fact that the series is coming to the end... For me, for Daniel, Emma, Rupert, and everyone of us, loyal followers of the series, eventhough, at least, we keep deep in our hearts the passion and-why not- love for HP...
