Stuart Craig begins work on HBP film
MSNBC has posted a brief interview with production designer Stuart Craig where he reveals some interesting info about the changing sets throughout the years.

He also says that work for Half-Blood Prince is already underway: "It has to be impressive and beautiful and poignant. So I'm looking forward to doing that." And he's eager to start reading Deathly Hallows:

"I can't wait. We need to know which sets to retain for the last film." Not that he'll get an early peek. "I never have before. I just have to go to the bookshop" -like every other fan.

awww... so sad... i can't wait... it will be so hard to watch....


Posted by thenishbish Feb 10th 2007

YES. FIRST COMMENT. I don't really have anything to say. I'm just excited..cuz I was just listening to a really old MuggleCast and Andrew was talking..and couldn't tell the difference between Laura and Rachel. Gosh, they don't sound alike. Just kidding. Except they don't. And then..look there is a point. Just wait. It's coming. OH YES. Andrew just posted this. That's why I was like...HEY WHOA. I'm listening to you talk..um..yeah. I'm not weird or anything. I'm quiet now. Good Bye. Or is it 'goodbye.' WHATEVER.


Posted by Vail329 Feb 10th 2007

darn it I wasnt first, but i thought I was. u gys are toooo fast. yea ur not that strange. is there any harry potter fans cool enough to ride bmx?? go to myspace.com/creativebmxfi lms cya!!!!!


Posted by priorincantato Feb 10th 2007

awesome i can't wait!!


Posted by lilac_kazz Feb 10th 2007

yay!!!more details!!!


Posted by thenishbish Feb 10th 2007

You must wait 3 minutes between comments per news story. That was the longest three minutes of my life. GOSH, I know it's an oxymoron. Minutes can only be 60 seconds. Whatever. Um...yeah. I thought I was first, too. I love how we all thought we were first..and it was like a BLANK comment page..but psht..no. We all fail. Except for Boo_On_You.


Posted by Boo_On_You Feb 10th 2007

I find it funny how five people thought they were first. Blahhh. Yeah. I admit it might be hard to watch HBP. But then again maybe not. I think it'll be harder to watch OotP 'cause of Harry's reaction and such. I only cried during Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoneix. Not one tear in HBP. Oh God, I better not cry in the movie theatre, that would kinda suck.


Posted by Boo_On_You Feb 10th 2007

You must wait 3 minutes between comments per news story. That was the longest three minutes of my life. LMFAO! I absolutely hate it when that happens. Makes me feel a little like you did.


Posted by thenishbish Feb 10th 2007

Ugh. I hate that it erases the enter that you make.. I also like that we're still having this conversation. I'll respond in three minutes..if you say anything back.


Posted by dragons_melody Feb 11th 2007

uh wow news overload


Posted by Boo_On_You Feb 11th 2007

lol yeah i hate that it erases the enters cause then i get all [i]confused[/i]. Uhh, i hope you still respond. xD Sorry, but I was reading that first Dan Radcliffe interview from the last post. It's pretty hilarious. You should read it.


Posted by Realanis Feb 11th 2007

HBP? This is awesome! Can't wait! ^^


Posted by hpgirl_91 Feb 11th 2007

the article has some pictures that are pretty cool pictures with it- check them out!


Posted by hpfan20 Feb 11th 2007

I hope everyone on the cast remains throughout the 7th (and final! =( ) film...


Posted by peevesrocks Feb 11th 2007

wow, that was fast. :-)


Posted by viki_hp_nerd Feb 11th 2007

hey guys how can you get the countdown thing? i is there supposed to be some sorta button? i forgot how to save it onto my desktop.


Posted by MagdaleneRose Feb 11th 2007

holy mother of merlin!!! this is like the Best News EVER!!! with HBP Film started already!! and OOTP movie comming out 8 days before DH... this is a supper summer, and t's not even SPRING yet!!


Posted by Vicktoria Feb 11th 2007

I'm glad that they are starting to work on the sixth film!!!!


Posted by yues_woman Feb 11th 2007

As long as he leaves in Tonks and Lupin's relationship, I don't care what he writes!


Posted by ChoChang Feb 11th 2007

Dan, Rupert and Emma must stay....


Posted by Gravedigger Feb 11th 2007

Good to hear Craig is back. I am very curious about ootp because somebody else wrote the script so I wonder whether or not it shows. I hope the astronomy tower will look like it did on the cover of the Dutch HBP. I also hope all the pensieve scenes will be in and the Horcrux part exactly like in the book.


Posted by Quiscalus Feb 11th 2007

Wow, they are already designing the set for HBP. I think (hope) they will do a good job; HBP is my favorite. When do they start filming again? And is Steve Kloves coming back for HBP?


Posted by theoldone_two Feb 11th 2007

i cant wait! that is so exciting! i guess they want to try and start it as soon as possible so the actors dont get to old....


Posted by harryfreak_org Feb 11th 2007

loads of news!!! yay... i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by James_Padfoot Feb 11th 2007

Oooh... There is a drawing/coloring by Caladan in the Leaky Fan Art Gallery that everyone should see. It has this moment pictured, and I hope (wishful thinking) that Mr. Craig takes some inspiration from this artist. It's breath-takingly beautiful. In fact, if you go to the Leaky Fan Art homepage, I believe it is featured. Look it up!


Posted by nickflamewizard Feb 11th 2007

GO stuart GO. 150 days.Bloody hell. If you wanna see a Harry Potter fan made video about Draco holding a speech entitled ginger kids and aiming to Ron then enter newsfromharrypotter.blogs pot.com. That s what happens when you mix south park and Harry Potter.


Posted by magnoliabones Feb 11th 2007

i'm glad nobody is getting a sneak peek. but we all have to admit, the luckiest people in the world right now are editors, publishers and whatnot of the seventh book. i don't know if they would actually have time to sit down and read the entire thing or if that would be allowed, but the book is there - right in front of them.


Posted by deathlyhallows721 Feb 11th 2007

YES!! The news drought is over! With a capital O! like 8 posts in 2 days! Sounds like the good ole times about 18 months ago! I feel happy!!


Posted by goodgyal Feb 11th 2007

i hope these changes are for the better they seem good but i hope it doesn't end up like the third movie when alfonse curon added a ton of new scenes and i still can't forget that he wanted to add a graveyard at a school!!! isn't hogwarts supposed to be cheerful?


Posted by DeathEaterKing Feb 11th 2007

Awesome! HBP should be a great movie!


Posted by dragons_melody Feb 11th 2007

OMG i can wait for hbp mainly because of the part where draco has to cry and because toms going to show up more often in the movie


Posted by mugglecast_fan Feb 11th 2007

happy harry dance (why? who knows.. who cares???)


Posted by HPluver13 Feb 11th 2007

oooooh can't wait to see what the HBP movie'll be like! I hope they make it accurate.....but it's a bit early to be thinking about that right now....after all, OotP isn't even out yet!


Posted by bspice Feb 11th 2007

Are they going to make a Deathly Hallows movie? first page


Posted by SiriuslyHP Feb 11th 2007

wow great news!!! HBP is going to be one awesome movie. i agree with yues_woman - they better keep the lupin/tonks relationship in there... i absolutely loved it :) and all of the emotions at the end.... it's just going to be a great movie. speaking of emotions at the end, i hope that they include the great ending of ootp when harry destroys dd's office. i really think that they need to include that: it was what really made me cry the hardest as i was reading the book. harry finally bursts out after all the hard times he has gone through. i think that it is brilliantly written and it would be a shame not to include it in the movie.

To some extent, being like 'every other fan' gives each of us a feeling of unity.


Posted by hp323232 Feb 12th 2007

cul!


Posted by dracos_darling Feb 14th 2007

i can't wait to see the movie of HBP!!! but i have to wait for OOTP first.. you english people (and others who have holidays when it comes out) are so lucky!! a harry potter holiday..maybe i'll be allowed a day off school to mourn the ending of my favourite series...though i don't think they'd accept that excuse.. at the beginning of the interview: "Feb. 19, 2007 issue - Even obsessive "Harry Potter" fans don't seem to have noticed that Hogwarts has had a makeover from the first two films." i actually think that most of us have noticed the changes...
