Daniel Radcliffe ends his “Potter” journey in the Deadly Hallows finale

The end is near for a decade long journey of Daniel Radcliffe in taking the role of Harry Potter as the finale of the franchise will happen on July 14. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is the last movie that Radcliffe done for the film adaptation of famous wizard novels of J.K Rowling. With Rupert Grint who played the role of Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, the three young adults will be closing this part of their lives where it touches millions of followers of Harry Potter. This film will be distributed by Warner Bros Pictures and available in 3D, IMAX 3D and regular format.

Here is a short interview of Daniel Radcliffe sharing his memories of playing the role of Harry Potter and what’s next for him after the phenomenal movie franchise.

Question: Has there been any crying since you all know the “Harry Potter” films are ending?

Daniel Radcliffe: There was lots of crying for Emma, Rupert and I, and the crew as well because a lot of them have been there for 10 years as well. So, there were lots of tears from everybody, really. It was very sad. And, at the time, I remember sort of being quite inconsolable for like two hours. And then four hours later I was on a plane and I was reading a script for another movie. So, we move on. [Laughs]

Emma Watson says goodbye Hermione in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

In line with the finale of the Harry Potter series on July 14, Emma Watson who played the role of Hermione Granger recalls the eleven years of embodying the role of a muggle witch. Watson took the role when she was only 9, and appeared in 8 Harry Potter Movie (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has two parts). As Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 will be shown in all theaters worldwide; this will lead to the closing of the chapter of Watson’s life as the brilliant witch with her friends Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley).

Here’s the transcript of Watson’s interview sharing how Harry Potter changes her life and what’s next for her after being Hermione in a fantasy movie:

Question: How are you feeling now that the films are coming to a close? Are you nostalgic?

Emma Watson: That question never gets clearer or easier really to answer. It’s hard for me to answer because I still don’t really know how I feel about it. I’m still processing it. So, to give you an answer is actually quite hard. I have days where I feel relieved and I have days where I feel very sad. And I have days where I’m like, ‘I’m so excited.’ Because this just took up my life, all of my time; my life revolved around Harry Potter. That was the focal point of my existence. And it’s exciting now that I have this time, I can accept other things. I mean, I know the grass is always greener, but there were moments when I was making this when I was like, ‘God, I wish I could go and do that.’ Or something would come up and now I have time to go and do different things. So, it’s exciting too. I swing kind of like a pendulum back and forth between all these different emotions.

Rupert Grint talks about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2

In line with the finale of the Harry Potter franchise, Rupert Grints shares all the beautiful memories and what he will be missing in playing the role of Ron Weasley in the movie. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 will be showing in all cinemas worldwide beginning July 14. It will be available in IMAX, 3D and regular format and distributed by Warner Bros Pictures. The epic fantasy film was directed by David Yates and also starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Ralph Fiennes

Here is the short interview of Rupert Grint in relation with the finale of Harry Potter franchise and his future plans after the movie:

Question: Did the cast and crew do anything special on the last day of shooting? 

Rupert Grint: Yeah, they played a video. We did this thing called the Golden Board. Have to have Dan [Radcliffe] explain that, but it’s basically a big count-down. This film was like 260 days or something. Every day we had this board, like ‘day one,’ ‘day two’ and each time it would be a silly saying and stuff. They kind of edited all that together and it was just really nice to see that. It was actually quite emotional too.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 earns P102-M in 4 Days!

 

It's Pottermania all over again in the Philippines as Warner Bros.' “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” shattered records and created box-office magic!

The seventh Potter film made history by debuting with a death-defying P102-M nationwide for the Nov 18-21 frame, this according to Francis Soliven, general manager of Warner Bros. (F.E.), Inc. which distributed the film.

It’s four-day Metro Manila gross of P75.6-million represents the year’s most successful opening weekend for a Warner Bros. title, beating April’s mythological blockbuster “Clash of the Titans.”

Rolling out in more than 100 screens across the country, “Deathly Hallows” posted magical openings in the following Top 20 cinemas: SM Mall of Asia (P8.13-M), SM North EDSA (P6.32-M), Trinoma (P5.98-M), Glorietta 4 (P3.97-M), Gateway Cineplex (P3.81-M), SM Megamall (P3.73-M), SM Cebu (P3.58-M), Greenbelt 3 (P2.96-M), Power Plant (P2.93-M) and Eastwood (P2.57-M).

Also showing impressive sales are Shang Cineplex (P2.45-M), Ayala Cebu (P2.22-M), Robinsons Ermita (P2.13-M), Alabang Town Center (P2.12-M), Robinsons Galleria (P1.91-M), Theatremall (P1.73-M), Market Market (P1.62-M), Festival (P1.58-M), SM San Lazaro (P1.52-M) and SM Fairview (P1.44-M).

Internationally, “Hallows – Part 1” soared to the top of the global box office in its opening weekend, earning a staggering $330.1 million dollars worldwide, encompassing $125.1 million in the US and $205 million overseas.

The North American box office numbers shattered the franchise’s previous opening weekend record—held by “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” at $102.6 million—surpassing it by an astounding 23%.

Worldwide, the opening weekend for “Hallows” ranks as one of the highest of all time, which is especially impressive for a non-holiday weekend.

With the success of its first six of seven titles, the Harry Potter series had already achieved the distinction of being the top-grossing film franchise of all time, reaching a combined worldwide gross of $5.4 billion. The numbers for “Deathly Hallows – Part 1,” as well as the anticipation for “Part 2,” opening on July 15, 2011, should ensure its place in film history for years to come.

In “Part 1,” Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction—the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.
Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” is still showing across the Philippines.

The Epic Finale Begins: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Review

 

On November 18, Harry Potter aficionados will be flocking the theater to see the part 1 of the two-part finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The 2nd part will be screened on July 2011. I was fortunate to see the movie before the regular screening and to be honest I was so fascinated on how it was adapted in the movie, the last HP movie I enjoyed was the Goblet of Fire. The movie was meticulously done by Warner Bros. Pictures and its director David Yates so that the film will cater to all ages that who fell in love with the J. K. Rowling masterpiece.

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 follows the journey of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) in search for the remaining horcruxes that holds the immortality of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). Both tries to stop one another and fight for their survival, for Lord Voldemort to have the power to rule the world of wizardry and for Harry to avenge for his love ones. With Harry’s friend Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) they will do anything to end the reign of Lord Voldemort and his allies.

Unlike the early movies of Harry Potter this is one of the darkest series, it may be hard for the younger audience to understand. For others who read the book it was great to see how some scenes where executed along with the texture to bring more emotions in the film. The part 1 has 2 hours and 3 minutes total running time, and believe me when I say I didn’t feel how time flies while watching the movie and when it was cut, the same reaction I felt during the time of Lord of the Rings part 1 and 2, I am in denial to say that the film was cut on that part.

After seeing the movie last night (November 15), I can’t wait to see the part 2 that Warner Bros Pictures will be showing on July 2011. For those who will be watching the movie beginning Nov 18, do your bathroom break early and don’t bring a friend who enjoys chatting rather than watching the movie --- because every seconds and minute of the film is very important, I am saying that because I am a Harry Potter fan like others.
