has kindly agreed to let us post Part I of a set report from a recent visit to Leavesden Studios in October.
Here is just a little from the report:
The Hospital Wing - Truly awesome. The first of the sets that was prepared exactly and the first of the filming action we watched. Tons of Ron's, Hermione's and Harry’s everywhere! There were just so many doubles, all ready for the preparation of the day's scenes. Even watching the 'doubles' work was great. The hospital scene was great; Ron lying in his bed, Dumbledore announcing to Hermione that two turns should do it... We were so lucky to go behind the set and watch a full five minutes of the finished version on the incredible editing machines - which even without the correct sound balance, etc. was brilliant.
This was the first of five scenes we watched being filmed that day, but for 5 minutes footage it took just over four days filming! - Which, depending on the editors might not even make the final cut.
Did you know - There are two Hagrid Huts built, and one is larger than the other? They film the children in the large hut, where everything is oversized using a double for Hagrid, then they film the "real" Hagrid in the smaller hut - making him look even bigger. Then they put the two clips together - simple, but clever?
More to come: including crew comments, mmmm... Some good, some VERY bad. Also watching the Quidditch scenes being filmed, The Great Hall, Diagon Alley, the props department, and what do the Dementors look like?
Read the full report for more. Part II should be available shortly.

I see that the wait until the launch of the third film is not the same than the first one and the second. I always thought that the fans will had enough to follow all the news about Hp...but it's the oposite..i'm glad.

That is a really interesting report. I especially like how they make Hagrid look extra large, and the children look extra small in his cabin. Pretty smart, and very simple to do. I will have to read the etire report, to see what the VERY BAD comments are!

I absolutely love these set reports. It just makes the wait go by faster because we have things to think about. I am very curious as to what the dementors will look like. I'll just have to let my imagination wander until that all important day in June.

I have always wondered how they made Hagrid look so big! Chogirl - the bad comments were not given in the report! Maybe we will see them later?
It is nice to get an update on how things are going. I still cannot believe the filming is not done yet! They started in February!

VERY bad comments? This increases my curiosity. But that was a great set report, wished they were allowed to show some pics as well. Hope we won't have to wait too long for part 2.

Enjoyed this report and looking forward to part 2. When I visited the Glencoe site I found there are 2 Hagrid's Huts -one much smaller than the other - right next to each other. I assumed they were for size differential. I was able to go into the larger hut, but all the furniture was gone so could make no comparison there.

Did they really say "two turns should do it"? I thought in the book, Dumbledore tells Hermoine that "three" turns should do it, boy they are really cutting things down now they only have to go back 2 hours...fang

Thanks for the reports! They make us closer to Leavesden for us who can't be there. I wonder if the BAD news have to do with someone leaving for Gof or about the robes issue.
