Special effects supervisor Tim Burke talks Dobby, Hogwarts, more on “Potter” series

In a new interview, Senior VFX Supervisor Tim Burke discussed his work on the Harry Potter films.

On the hardest parts of Deathly Hallows – Part 1:

“The creatures and Dobby. People had to relate to Dobby, to empathize with Dobby to believe he would die. People are used to seeing good and bad CG characters. If Dobby didn’t look like he had a soul, we would have lost the emotional moment at the end of the film.”
