Actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson recorded a segment earlier this year from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows set for the Children in Need foundation, which aids less fortunate and disadvantaged children across the UK. It can be viewed below.
The full video featuring the behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, as shown on the Half-Blood Prince DVD extras, can be viewed below. In addition to the sets being built, interviews with Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, James and Oliver Phelps, Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon, David Heyman, David Barron, production designer Stuart Craig, and a glimpse of J.K. Rowling around the lot can be viewed here.
In a new interview to promote his UK programme Gavin and Stacey, actor Steffan Rhodhi spoke about his upcoming role as Reg Cattermole in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Also noted in the article is that his sequences in the Ministry of Magic will be shot next month.
Steffan, who has a role in the new Harry Potter movie which he begins filming next month, is now best known for playing Dave – even though his agent advised him against the role.
“My agent said ‘you can’t just keep doing every small part – they will think of you as a bit-part actor.’
Steffan talks about his role in the film.
Steffan is playing Reg Cattermole in the new Harry Potter film and he thinks his two teenage children are “secretly chuffed” with his new role.
“I think they are a bit fed up now of friends coming up to them and going, ‘What’s occurrin’” he laughs, referring to Dave Coaches’ catchphrase.
Then he will move into a London studio to film his scenes for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I. His character is from the Magical Maintenance Department and his identity is borrowed by Ron Weasley.
“I’ve not done a huge amount of film in the past,” says the 42-year-old, who has appeared in Ali G Indahouse, Twin Town and the Oscar-nominated Solomon ac Gaenor.
Warner Bros has released a few new behind-the-scenes looks at the making of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. Included in the previews are interviews with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson from not only the sets of the first two films, but Deathly Hallows; producers David Heyman and Mark Radcliffe, along with Chris Columbus explain how the films came together, from initial casting to editing scenes for the features. They can be viewed below.
The first video has a bit of a treat, where Emma Watson, from the set of Deathly Hallows, reads Hermione Granger's introduction in Philosopher's Stone.

Actor Rade Serbedzija, who was cast as famous wandmaker Gregorovitch, recently spoke about filming scenes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as well as meeting costars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton. A loose English translation can be read below.
Rade talks about working with Ralph Fiennes; Gregorovitch and Voldemort were seen together in one of Harry's dream sequences, where the Dark Lord killed the wandmaker.
I liked the role and it seems to me that we captured it well. Although for me, no matter how talented the director and actors are in this story, this type of film does not interest me in particular. But it does my daughters, including Lucia, who were excited for me to shoot Harry Potter. Gregorovich's role is quite important because of him in it explains a lot. I have only scenes with Ralph Fiennes, which made me especially happy because he is an amazing actor, and also, somehow, we made friends.
On meeting the three actors:
It was really fun for me to meet famous actors like Radcliffe, Grint and Tom Felton, who plays the villain Malfoy, screaming and singing: ' Boris the Blade.' That was my role in the film 'Snatch' by Guy Ritchie.
