Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II director David Yates called upon Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasely) to return for more filming late in December, months after shooting for the series had wrapped, to re-shoot the closing epilogue sequence. Its quite understandable that he was under much stress making sure that this worldwide phenomenon ended perfectly meeting if not surpassing the expectations of both fans of the book and movies.
**SPOILER ALERT**
Due to the closing sequence of the movie, which is the epilogue in the books, where Harry and Ginny(married) and Ron and Hermione(married) return to Platform 9 and 3/4 to send their kids to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; some 19 years in the future. The David Yates reportedly said “I didn’t want older actors. If you spent seven movies with these guys, you know these kids, and you want to end with them. We ended up with a scene that for all sorts of reasons, not just the make-up, just didn’t work. I asked the studio to have a second pop at it, with a very simple solution — simple make-up, which may be enhanced slightly with special effects — that’s really charming.”
This final installment of the series is sure to be unforgettable. Be sure to save the date of July 15, 2011 because I'm this will be one that no one would want to miss!
