Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

It was a nice movie for horror movie lovers. It`s a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an upcoming 2010/2011 two-part epicfantasy-adventure film directed by David Yates, written bySteve Kloves and based on the novel of the same name by J. K. Rowling. The film is produced by Rowling along with David Heyman andDavid Barron. The two parts form the seventh and final instalment in the Harry Potter film series, with the story following Harry Potteron a quest to find and destroy Lord Voldemort's secret to immortality – theHorcruxes. The films stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, alongsideRupert Grintand Emma Watson as Harry's best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Principal photography for both parts were completed on 12 June 2010. Part 1 will be released in 2D and IMAX formats on 19 November 2010 and Part 2 in 2D, 3D, and IMAX formats on 15 July 2011. Part 1 of Deathly Hallows has been rated PG-13 in theUnited States, for "some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images." In Australia, the film is to have an M or MA15+ rating due to violence, frightening images and nudity.

Development

The decision to divide Rowling's final book into a two-part movie came from the original declined proposal to split Goblet of Fire in 2004.Deathly Hallows was shot back to back, and treated as if it were one film. The idea to split the book into a two-part movie had been around since the middle of 2007,but only came into serious consideration after producer David Heyman was able to talk to writer Steve Kloveswhen the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended and Heyman had Rowling's approval. Kloves started his work on the script for the second part in April 2009.

Before 
David Yates was officially chosen to direct the film, others had expressed an interest in the job. Alfonso Cuarón, director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, had said that he would be tempted to return to direct.Guillermo del Toro, who passed on Prisoner of Azkaban, had expressed interest in directingDeathly Hallows, but an increased workload over the production of The Hobbitruled him out of the project.
According to Warner Bros. executive Alan F. Horn it will allow "an extra hour and a half to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas in the amazing story." Heyman described the workings behind the split: "Deathly Hallows is so rich, the story so dense and there is so much that is resolved that, after discussing it with J. K. Rowling, we came to the conclusion that two parts were needed." Kloves was not able to start work on the script until the WGA strike ended.
Rowling was appointed producer on the two-part film, alongside David Heyman and David Barron. Heyman noted that the films will be a closer recreation of the books than the previous films because of the length a two-part adaptation entails. Daniel Radcliffe said: "This is a road movie, particularly in Part One of the film. People have been so used to seeing Harry Potter at Hogwarts and we're just not there for the first part of the film. That seems to have really freshened things up, and hopefully will get people seeing the films with fresh eyes again, because its just a totally different look when you're not just sat in the same room the whole time."
Yates and Heyman have noted that some of the events of the seventh book had an effect on the way the sixth film was written.
Pre-production began on 26 January 2009, while filming began on 19 February 2009 at Leavesden Studios, where the previous six installments were filmed. Pinewood Studios became the second studio location for filming the seventh movie. Bruno Delbonnel, the Director of Photography for the sixth film, opted not to work onDeathly Hallows, as he was afraid of repeating himself. Therefore Eduardo Serra was chosen to be the cinematographer for Parts 1 and 2.Director David Yates said that the film will be shot with "loads of hand-held cameras." He stated, "I want to shake things up every time I go into this world. I like experimenting as we go along." In October 2009,Ralph Fiennes started filming his role as Lord Voldemort. Many of the adult actors also prepared for filming during that period. The crew also shot on location, with Swinley Forest andFreshwater West as two of the main outdoor filming areas, along with the village of Lavenham in Suffolk and the streets of the city of London.
On 26 March 2010, filming finished in Pinewood Studios. However, Leavesden Studios was still occupied for further filming.The Epilogue scene was one of the last scenes to be shot. The movie in its entirety was filmed over a one and a half year period throughout the United Kingdom and finished on 12 June 2010. Even though the shooting schedule was set at 250 days, the filming took 478 days to complete. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson all openly wept on the last day, which ended their ten years of work on the films.
During production at Leavesden, Radcliffe's stunt double David Holmes suffered a serious spinal injury during the filming of an aerial sequence, which left him paralysed. Holmes fell to the ground following an explosion which was part of the stunt.
Stuart Craig, the production designer of the first six films, stayed on to design all the sets in both parts of Deathly Hallows. Several new sets are introduced, includingMalfoy Manor andShell Cottage. Some sets were rebuilt for the film, including theChamber of Secrets and a new Ministry of Magic.

Although Yates had retained composer Nicholas Hooper for Half-Blood Prince, Hooper confirmed that he will be returning for Deathly Hallows.. In July 2009, John Williams(composer for the first three films) said that he will return for Deathly Hallows Part 2 as long as it fits with his schedule. In January 2010, Alexandre Desplat was confirmed to produce the score for Part 1 of the Deathly Hallowssoundtrack. Desplat will compose throughout the summer with the London Symphony Orchestra and admitted that he will use Hedwig's Theme, created by John Williams, in his composition. In an interview he stated, "We will start this summer and it will take me all summer. I will not have many holidays, but again it's for good reason - for the soundtrack. I would take every opportunity to use the fabulous theme written by John Williams. I'd say it is not sufficiently used in the latest movies, so if I have the opportunity and if the footage will allow me, I will arrange it ... I shall make it with great honour and pleasure." Alexandre Desplat was scheduled to complete the score in September. The film's orchestration started on 14 August 2010 with Conrad Pope (the orchestrator on the first three Potter films) collaborating with Desplat. Pope commented that the music is "exciting and vigorous" and "Those who love melodies, harmonies and emotions in their film scores should be pleased. Reminds one of the old days." On 23 September 2010, it was announced that the score for Part 1 will be released on 16 November 2010.


The trailer music for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows features two tracks, both from Brand X. Track one is called The Sorcerer's Secret and plays on the first three teasers for the film, while the second track, also from Brand X, plays on the trailer for both parts. The third trailer, which promotes only Part 1, features three new tracks: Amphibious Zoo's "Ghost of War", Position Music's "Menace", and finally from the Immediate Music company, "The End of Days".
