⬆ Back to top

• Jason Isaacs originally considered not returning for this film, fearing that his character's arrest and imprisonment at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) would mean very little if any screen time in the finale. Upon meeting J.K. Rowling, he begged to be let out of prison. She told him "You're out. Chapter one." This immediately convinced him to sign on for the film.
• Filming the "Seven Harrys" scene was so complex that Daniel Radcliffe counted over 90 takes for just a single shot.
• As in her previous films, Evanna Lynch designed a lot for her Luna Lovegood character, including what she wore, jewelry, and things for the Lovegoods' home. She even came up with their dance moves for the wedding scene.
• According to David Heyman, the work print of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was 5.5 hours long, and the shooting script was close to 500 pages, which justified the decision to split the movie into two.
• Upon seeing the set for Hermione's bedroom, Emma Watson told the set decorators that there should be more books, which they happily accommodated.
• David Holmes, 25, Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double, was seriously injured on the set at Leavesden Studios, near Watford, Hertfordshire. He was performing an aerial sequence when he fell to the ground following an explosion, which was part of the stunt, and sustained a serious back injury.
• Bill Weasley is played by Domhnall Gleeson, son of cast member Brendan Gleeson.
• One of the posters in the cafe where the trio ends up after Apparating to London is from Daniel Radcliffe's play Equus.
• Composer Alexandre Desplat's favorite Harry Potter character is Dobby.
• Guillermo del Toro expressed interest in directing this installment.
• Over 500 wands were created for the film. They are checked out and checked in before, during, and after the filming day is completed. Many came back broken.
• This is the first of the films to have J.K. Rowling as a producer.
• The main street set in Godric's Hollow is the same set used for Hogsmeade in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), albeit with some set dressing changes.
• Jamie Campbell Bower broke his ankle while performing his jump stunt (after stealing the Elder Wand). His injury ruled him out of auditioning for Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer (2013).
• 40 versions of Slytherin's locket were made for the scene in which Harry and Ron try to destroy it.
• Even though it's hard to see, Tonks is in fact wearing a maternity gown at Bill and Fleur's wedding.
• In the opening of the film, when Hermione is called down to tea, we can hear her parents talking about Australia along with an announcer, presumably on the TV, taking about a countryside. This is a reference to the book, in which Hermione says she not only wiped herself from her parents memories but also gave them new identities and made them think that they'd love nothing more than to move to Australia, which we presume that they do.
• The exterior scenes of Malfoy Manor were shot at Hardwick Hall, one of the most significant Elizabethan country houses in England.
• Bruno Delbonnel declined to return for the final two films, saying "I think I was scared of repeating myself." Subsequently, the filmmakers hired fellow French-Portuguese cinematographer Eduardo Serra.
• Nick Moran has said in interviews that his role as Scabior came across as being too intense and had to be cut down.
• M. Night Shyamalan was interested in directing this installment.
• John Williams, who composed the scores to the first three films, expressed his interest in returning to score Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but was unable to do so due to scheduling conflicts.
• The character Griphook was played by Verne Troyer in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), making him one of the few Americans cast, but was voiced by Warwick Davis. In this film, Davis plays Griphook in both body and voice.
• First time that Brendan Gleeson, Michael Byrne, Peter Mullan, and David O'Hara have appeared in the same movie since Braveheart (1995).
• Linguist expert Dr. Francis Nolan devised the Parseltongue language for this and the other Harry Potter films it features in.
• Frances de la Tour reprises the role of Madame Olympe Maxime in this film; the character does not appear in the book. She may be a substitute for Viktor Krum, who appeared prominently at the same scene in the book.
• The scenes featuring Dobby and Kreacher were filmed twice. First they were played physically on set by their respective voice actors so that the other actors and animators had a guideline to work with. Then the same scene was shot without the voice actors so that the SFX team could put in their CG characters in post-production.
• This is the only Harry Potter film Industrial Light & Magic did not provide visual effects for.
• Scabior's violent twist in the air when Bellatrix uses her whip on him was not in the original script. Nick Moran improvised it on the set to avoid being upstaged by Helena Bonham Carter. The filmmakers liked that touch and decided to use it. Moran was delighted until he realized that, for it to work, that stunt would have to be repeated for several takes.
• Nick Moran was interested in knowing how his character would appear in costume. He saw earlier renderings and was unsatisfied with some of it. He requested several items to be added, including knee-high boots that had to be laced up all the way and were uncomfortable while running. He had no clue he would have to be running in the forest after Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson for a good amount of takes.
• This is the only film in the series not to feature Dame Maggie Smith (Professor Minerva McGonagall) or David Bradley (Argus Filch).
• A scene was filmed in which Tonks told Mrs. Weasley that she was pregnant but ultimately cut from the final version.
• Composer Nicholas Hooper turned down the opportunity to score the final two films, saying that working on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) took a toll on his family's personal life.
• Originally to be released in 3D, this decision was scrapped just weeks before release, due to the difficulty of converting the film into the format.
• John Hurt's reprisal as Ollivander marks the longest gap - nine years - in a character's appearance in the series. Toby Jones's reprisal as Dobby was second longest, at eight years.
• Stanislav Ianevski did appear in his role as Viktor Krum for the wedding scene, but his scenes were cut from the final film (although promo pictures of him dancing with Emma Watson exist, as well as behind-the-scenes footage).
• Filming the torture scene where Bellatrix is torturing Hermione at Malfoy Manor at the climax proved to be very intense for the actors involved (most of the scene was cut to avoid an R rating in the US and a 15 rating in the UK). It was so intense and brutal that Helena Bonham Carter approached Emma Watson right afterward to make sure they were still on good terms.
• Having Bellatrix carve "Mudblood" into Hermione's arm during the torture scene was not in the original script, but it was an idea that both Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter came up with together on the spur of the moment during filming.
• It had been reported that the film would contain a few scenes of Daniel Radcliffe in the nude, leading to speculation among fans that the film would earn a more strict rating. This turned out not to be the case, although the scene in which visions of Harry and Hermione kiss appear to try to deter Ron from destroying the Horcrux give the illusion that Radcliffe and Emma Watson are both nude. In reality both actors wore jeans ,and Watson was provided with a strapless bra so she would not have to be completely topless. Director David Yates said that complete nudity was not necessary since the characters would be partially obscured by fog.
• This is the only Harry Potter film not to feature Hogwarts, although the Hogwarts lake does briefly appear in the final scene where Voldemort takes the Elder Wand from Albus Dumbledore's grave.
• The revelation that RAB was Sirius Black's brother was actually correctly guessed by book readers soon after Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was published and a good two years before Deathly Hallows was. Of all the surnames that J.K. Rowling came up with for the series, Black is the only one that readily translates into other languages. In foreign language editions of the book in which this surname is translated, RAB was similarly altered, such that the "B" always matched the first letter of the word for "black." For example, Dutch editions translated "Sirius Black" as "Sirius Zwarts" and "RAB" to "RAZ." Finnish editions used "Sirius Musta" and "RAM."
