TRIVIA: The fight scene between Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman was filmed when Smith was 76 years old, which makes her the oldest actress to have a fight scene in a movie.

Daniel Radcliffe reportedly broke 80 wands throughout the series because he used them as drumsticks.

The only film in the series where Hermione actually flies on a broom.

Molly Weasley's line "Not my daughter you bitch!" is Julie Walters' favorite line throughout her career.

In total, Daniel Radcliffe went through 160 pairs of prop glasses by the end of the series.

As with the first half of the film, Warwick Davis's company, Willow (1988) Personnel Management, was called upon to provide little people to portray the goblins at Gringotts.


In the first film, Griphook the Goblin was played by Verne Troyer. In this film, the same character is played by Warwick Davis.

FILM 1165: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1

TRIVIA: As in her previous films, Evanna Lynch designed a lot for her Luna Lovegood character, including what she wore, jewelry and things for the Lovegood's home. She even came up with their dance moves for the wedding scene.

Filming the "Seven Harrys" scene was so complex that Daniel Radcliffe counted over 90 takes for just a single shot.

First of the films to have J.K. Rowling as producer.

One of the posters in the café where the trio ends up after Apparating into London is from Daniel Radcliffe's play 'Equus'.

Warwick Davis worked a third job; aside from the two characters he plays in the series, Davis runs a company called Willow (1988) Personnel Management. This company helps little people to find work on film, and found the on-set stand-ins for Dobby and Kreacher.


Guillermo del Toro expressed interest in directing this installment.
