Spoilers on the battle of Hogwarts: 
|
- In a report from the test screening by theyoungfolks there was mention of battle scenes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Quote:
How is Percy’s “redemption” handled? Hardly. We just see him at the end with the Weasleys.
|
- A test screening report from Rachezee.
Quote:
Wormtail is barely in the film. He doesn't get a death scene.
|
- There was a second report from mugglecast on the test screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, of interest are details on some characters from the battle.
Quote:
So how is the Trewlaney scene? It's brief. She's in the great hall. I don't even know what she is doing. She's talking to somebody else, but you see her. The camera doesn't even focus on her but she's there.
She doesn't have a line? She has a line, but it's to somebody else. She doesn't hit anybody with frying pans or bottles of sherry or anything like that.
She doesn't hit Greyback in the head with a crystal ball? No.
Do we see Gwarp in the film? No one is identified as Gawrp. There are giants that we see. A lot of giants look uglier then Gwarp, but I think I saw an overpass of Gwarp coming down the hill to fight in the battle. But no one's identified.
But the giants are on the death eaters' side? Yeah. That's why it is so massive. To see the students at Hogwarts battling these giants because it takes quite a few of them. But at the end of it all there are giant carcasses over the bridge and stuff. Sprawled out across the grounds of Hogwarts.

- Producer David Heyman mentions that the final battle will be very character driven:
Quote:
Ultimately, what makes these books work, what I love about the books, is that for all the spectacle, for all the adventure, (there are) the characters. Part I will be 'the road movie' with the young stars on the run. The final battle comes in Part II. And what we are trying to do in this final battle, as much as we can, is root it in characters. For me, it’s really all about the characters and it’s about the people who are battling and, if you’re invested in that, that is what will make it work.
|
- Producer David Heyman discusses in small part the final battle of Hogwarts: [source]
Quote:
The ending of Book 7 is really climatic in so many ways. Is that going to be like a 20-minute part of the movie or a 30-minute part of the movie? Have you guys already started thinking about that? DAVID HEYMAN: Absolutely. I mean we’ve got a script version of it. I think it’ll probably be 30 minutes, they get to Hogwarts fairly early on, but there’s a lot of build up before the battle happens, you know? And there are 2 parts to the battle. There’s the first part and then there’s the post-death of Harry part, if you know what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean. DAVID HEYMAN: Yeah, so in a way there’s a couple of different parts to that battle.
Well, it’s almost like the ending of Book 7 and the ending of movie 2-part 2 is almost like what people have been waiting for all the movies to see, which is the big, big showdown.DAVID HEYMAN: It’s funny, yes I think that’s true and the showdown will be…that poses its own challenges in terms of adaptation. Not only the expectation of that final showdown but also what I love about Jo’s work is that’s it’s emotionally rooted. And in the book, actually, Harry doesn’t do much fighting back. In fact, he’s…I’m not going to use the word but he has the 'blank' beaten out of him. I just said well, there’s more engagement in our version of the final battle.
I was going to ask you about that because that’s one of the things, to me, is amazing about the ending of that book is that Harry accepts his fate without knowing what’s going to happen. It can go either way, you know? And it’s sort of he’s… DAVID HEYMAN: That’s true up until…when he’s reborn, Harry is aware that Voldemort is vulnerable and is a defeated man. And that’s something that we’re wrestling with and determining right now just so that it works in cinematic terms and not just on a…yeah that it works cinematically.
|
Heyman stated that the battle will be around thirty minutes long. He also said that there will be more 'engagement' then happens in the book while discussing the 'final showdown'.
- In an article from an unknown crew member was the mention of a long list of those to return for the Battle of Hogwarts as well as a little bit about the intensity of the battle:
Quote:

An army of death eaters was created, with approximately 20 to 30 death eater-extras.

Actors discuss the Battle: 
|
- Actor Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) discusses his character and the destruction during the Battle of Hogwarts:
Quote:
So what have you learned in terms of acting in Deathly Hallows compared to your character in the previous six films? MATTHEW LEWIS: Ooh, that's a good one. Well, Neville’s really, really come on a lot this year. While Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been out of school, Neville’s assumed Harry’s position of leader of Dumbledore’s Army. It's literally all that training that Neville’s been through throughout the last couple of years. It all leads up to this point. Neville’s taken on a much bigger role this year and it's been so much fun to do. I've had a lot more scenes to do, and tougher scenes as well. Not just physically. Some of the stuff stunt-wise and the physicality of some of the bigger action sequences are tough, but I've enjoyed that, but then also the more subtle stuff.
‘Cause at the end of the day, as much fun as all that is, there's also the idea that it is a war going on and people are dying. Neville, though he's very adrenalized - he's just really reckless in this film - he's not immune to the death and destruction around him. A lot of it’s really sad. We're seeing the destruction of these sets, these buildings that have been with us since the beginning. The Great Hall, the courtyards and stuff, and they're all getting wrecked. So it's been quite interesting as an actor to take all that on board. It’s quite good. It's the last film as well because it really helps you when you're acting to think, ‘This is the last one’ and literally its all coming to this one point. But it's been cool.
|
- Actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) gives his opinion on the intensity of the battle:
Quote:
It's unquestionably more exciting, and just far more substantial, as well. It usually takes us about seven months to film; we've been here for sixteen months doing two films. There's a lot more into this, especially with the action and the battle sequences. The final half-hour, or the final hour, really, of the final movie will be non-stop carnage, and I can't wait to see it.
|
- In an interview with Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley), they discuss filming battles in Deathly Hallows: [video]
Quote:
DANIEL RADCLIFFE: I'm in every day, basically. I was lying in a pool of mud and dust and smoke and it irritated my throat and I developed a cold.
RUPERT GRINT: Yeah, it is very physical, there is a lot of kind of battle scenes and kind of wand action which is always quite fun.
|
- Actor Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley) discussed his general impressions on the battle of Hogwarts.
Quote:
What was it like shooting that final battle? RUPERT GRINT: The way we filmed it was confusing, because we filmed both parts simultaneously. So some days we'd be doing a Part One scene, then a huge battle. It was quite hard to keep track of what was going on in Part Two, so I'll be quite interested to see how it's all been put together. But the battle sequences are great, I think. It was just so big and epic; there was one scene in the courtyard where it's one big, continuous shot and they have five cameras picking up everything, and there's giants and fire and big craters. Even for Harry Potter, it felt really huge. These sets, they did actually destroy them. The rubble you see is actually the set falling apart. It's quite weird seeing all these sets that I've grown up in as piles of rubble, there's something strange about that. But it's going to be amazing.
|
- Actor Gemma Jones (Madam Poppy Pomfrey) discussed her character getting some battle time in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Quote:
I did have to do a lot of fighting with my wand. At my age and station it was a very good workout. I’m fighting the death eaters with my wand so I had a good time.
|
- Actor Robbie Coltrane mentioned a scene with Hagrid fighting in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Quote:
What are you excited about to see the most in the film? ROBBIE COLTRANE: There is a huge massive battle going on, as Hagrid, i got to throw some death eaters off a bridge. It was lovely to do a bit of that. I haven't done that in years. Beating them up. Throwing them over things. It was lovely.
|
- Actor Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley) mentions Hogwarts burning and the Gryffindor common room as a pile of rubble.
Quote:
I know we see Hogwarts burning, but was there anything else for you that was heart wrenching from the closing of the Harry Potter saga? RUPERT GRINT: In part two, it’s quite shocking. It’s like a war film. There are bodies everywhere, people dying. All these really familiar sets that I’ve grown up, like the Gryffindor common room, is just piles of rubble. It’s quite meaningful as well, it’s the last film. It’s the end. It made it feel even more final. It’s quite sad.
|
- Actor Ciarán Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore) mentions his character taking part in the battle at Hogwarts:
Quote:
Then I had to shoot for two more days, where they had me running around this huge set. It had been ripped apart in a Morlock battle. It was covered with people running around waving a wand in a certain direction. That was the mad part of it that I just had one day on.

The Ron and Hermione kiss / Chamber of Secrets:

Quote:
And Ron and Hermione's was good. They stopped looked around and mauled each other.
|
- In a report from Edward on the test screening.
Quote:
Ron/Hermione kiss? Ron actually has the idea that the basilisk fangs might destroy horcruxes so they go down and they take the cup. It is now Hermione's turn to destroy a horcrux so she does that in the actual chamber of secrets. Then this big waterfall, big explosion of water comes up from the chamber and drenches them and then they sort of turn and look at each other and it's like they are going to hug and oh my god they are kissing. And that last for a good number of seconds.
|
- In a report from the test screening by theyoungfolks there was mention of the scenes in the Chamber of Secrets with Ron and Hermione.
Quote:
How is the destruction of the Cup in the Chamber of Secrets? Pretty cool. Hermione stabs it with the fang and a flood of water washes over Ron and Hermione and then they kiss.
And the tsunami in the Chamber of Secrets? How? It is gigantic? It’s not too gigantic. Just enough to cause a flash flood.
Can you list all of the Ron/Hermione romantic or cute scenes you can think of? The kiss. The hand-holding that let Harry know that they’re finally together. They hug a couple times. There weren’t too many. Not a lot of romance in this one.
Do we get to see Ron and Hermione destroy the Horcrux? Yes.
If so, does the cup fight back like the locket did? No.
Does Hermione destroy it? Yes.
If Hermione does destroy it, does she experience the same kind of taunting that Ron experienced with the locket? No.
Is the camera angle bad for the kiss? Do they just lean in or do they hold each other? Is it bad like the HBP kiss? Actually, I think the camera angle was really good. Full body, looking up.
They just grab each other and kiss. Not like the HBP kiss.
How do Ron and Hermione get out of the Chamber of Secrets? Also, do we see Ron imitating Parselmouth to get into the chamber? Ron opens the door with parseltongue he remembered from when Harry sleep talks.

- According to an interview with Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Daniel was not on set during The Kiss between Ron and Hermione in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: [video]
Quote:
DANIEL RADCLIFFE: Rupert, he kissed Emma in that scene in the seventh film, which I imagine was quite odd. Although I was desperate to be on set, but they knew. They so had predicted I would be a nightmare if I was on set and I would be giving Rupert and Emma nothing but grief if I was on set that day that they actually sent me into the forest to film that day. They sent me about thirty miles away from the studio so that I was just going to be no where near the studio.
EMMA WATSON: Everyone wanted to come and watch it and like Rupert and I were struggling so much with the pressure of it anyway and you know especially if Dan had been there it would have been, it would have been too much I think.
|
- Producer David Heyman states that Harry will not be there during the Ron and Hermione kiss and that he is not in the scene:
Quote:
Dan Radcliffe said he wasn't present when Rupert and Emma did their kiss scene. Was that deliberate – so he wouldn't distract them?
DAVID HEYMAN: No.
Harry's not in the scene?
DAVID HEYMAN: No.
So it's not like it is in the book?
[HEYMAN shakes his head no]

- Actor Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) discusses the kiss between Ron and Hermione in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
Quote:
RUPERT GRINT: There's a worse one in Number 7, I have to kiss, I say have to, I have to kiss Emma Watson and that was a bit weird that one, but it's...A worse kiss in what way? It was just more embarrassing because we have known each other for so, I've known her since she was nine, and it just felt wrong really, but, yeah, it was fine in the end and I think it's quite sweet.
|

|
- Actor Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) talks about his character in Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Quote:
What is in store for Draco? There is a bit of redemption. I don't think the crowd will be cheering him on, but he and Harry come to each others aid on more than one occasion.
Was Draco in it enough to keep you satisfied? It's a tough one, because it was 140 central cast members in this last film, so even if you get half a page of dialogue, consider yourself lucky. But there's a lot more physical stuff for Draco to do with the big, final battle coming up - he has quite a role in that and that was a lot different for me.

Fred's death was very quick and we don't see it happen. It's possible it's because the effects weren't complete. We see him laid out.

- Actor Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) gave an interview on the twins during the battle.
Quote:
What was your last day filming? OLIVER PHELPS: I think it was when we were doing re-shoots, and it was a scene at the battlement sequence. It was an added scene, actually, where James (Phelps, Fred Weasley) and myself were standing on the turrets of the castle, where there was a green screen and everything, and it was just ad-libbed for about a minute. It was quite nice, but it was hard. It was a weird feeling when they yelled, "Wrap!".
Your characters have always added a rather light touch, but in this film there are some rather heavier sections. OLIVER PHELPS: Well yes, in the final installment there are not a lot of laughs from Fred and George at all. Actually, the re-shoot scene that we did was, I think, the first time you see them scared. it's great to be able to play the same character but show a totally different side, one that the audience haven't seen before, or even something that they hadn't been expecting.
