Behind the Scenes

  • Rupert’s favourite Scene to film:
  • According to Rupert, Ron and Hermione act “couply” in the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
  • Helena Bonham-Carter enjoyed being treated like a teenager by Rupert and Dan while filming the scenes where Hermione is transformed as Bellatrix to break into Gringotts
  • The young actors (Rupert, Dan, Emma, Bonnie and Tom) played their characters’ older selves in the epilogue, and were aged up with makeup.
  • Rupert said it was weird to see his son, as he resembled him so much.
  • According to David Heyman, filming the Ron/Hermione kiss was “a critical day on set”. According to Rupert, he and Emma “were kissing up a storm”.
  • The kissing scene between Ron and Hermione required between 4 and 6 takes (Rupert and Emma have mentioned different numbers in various interviews). Before filming it, they talked about how nervous they were and decided to clean their mouths before filming.
  • The epilogue had already been shot in May 2010, but a re-shoot at Leavesden studios took place in December.
