Malfoy Manor. It’s fictional, but it’s one of the last places anyone (unless you are Death Eater) wants to be. In the novel, it serves as a base of operations for Lord Voldemort, and thus the reason the Snatchers take Harry, Ron, and Hermione to Malfoy Manor instead of the Ministry in chapter 23 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Believe it or not, Malfoy Manor is one of the several Harry Potter sets that does not require green screen. Most of it is actually made from foam, especially the stone designs in the room where the Death Eaters’ meeting with Voldemort is held (which by the way, was filmed at Hardwick Hall). The paintings, on the other hand, are real, but were inspired by a famous, wealthy, and grand house in Derbershire, England. According to Jason Isaacs, who was has played Lucius Malfoy in all the Harry Potter films to date stated “Voldemort has chosen my house as headquarters, and just having the king in your own house is a ringing endorsement. Within about 2 seconds, it all turns complete pear-shaped, and he takes my wand off me. You don’t take a wand off a wizard in public. It’s just not appropriate, then he snaps it, and I think he’s going to kill me, and it all just turns into my worst nightmare and goes downhill from there.”
So there goes the Lucius Malfoy perspective of Voldemort using his house as headquarters. However, when the Snatchers bring in whom they think is Harry Potter (whose face is distorted by a Stinging Jinx), the Malfoys think they have a high chance of reclaiming their high position among the Death Eaters and will be cleared. Their “horrific fall of public grace” is shown when Voldemort requires Malfoy’s wand, as it first all began when in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he fails to retrieve the prophecy in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, as it was accidentally crushed by Neville Longbottom (though in the film, it is Lucius Malfoy who accidentally crashed the prophecy). Voldemort first humiliates them by assigning Draco the task of murdering Dumbledore, and even though Dumbledore is dead after the sixth book, the Malfoys are still in humiliation. The last sign of this is when Voldemort choses to use Lucius’s wand instead of his, and Voldemort’s and Harry Potter’s wand have the same cores, phoenix feather (which is in fact from Dumbledore’s phoenix, Fawkes). Isaacs said that this signifies “that [Voldemort] has no greater place for me in the future, in this new world he creates if he wins.”
When the Snatchers bring the news that they might have captured Harry Potter, the Malfoys and Bellatrix Lestrange have their hopes high that Voldemort would clear them and would rise from their downfall in public grace. However, they needed to “absolutely sure” because of Hermione’s Stinging Jinx, which is by the way, pure make-up. According to Dan Radcliffe, “the worst part of it is putting it on and wearing it from 6-9:00 in the morning.” At first, director Yates stated that Radcliffe liked it because it was being a “different person and Dan liked not being Harry”.
Believe it or not, when Dobby drops the chandelier, there is actually no chandelier at all. Instead, the sound is made by crew members tossing glass shards with dustpans off-screen. Each scenario when the chandelier is crashed, including Harry overpowering Draco (and thus winning the allegiance of the Elder Wand) and Hermione collapsing into Ron’s arms after Bellatrix tortured her, was filmed separately.
Another non-green screen set in the HP7 film was the trio escaping from the wedding. Although Tottenham court road is actually a real street in England (which is known for its commercial shopping; particularly consumer electronics), the film uses Shaftesbury Avenue, a famous place for theatre entertainment, also real-life. For two nights in a row, the Harry Potter crew literally shut down Shaftesbury Avenue and hired 500 extras just to play passers-bye, as well as 35 cars, 15 cabs, a limo, 5 buses, a police car and two rickshaws . They also convinced the stores to leave their lights on overnight to make the montage more realistic. Yes, it’s hard to imagine they spent two days filming a scene that lasted a minute or less. All the actors had to do was walk and talk.
Another time the actors are on the run is when they run from the Snatchers who are about to capture them, though this is not written in the book. The cast spent several days running in the Forest (although the Forest of Dean is another real-life place in England, the actual place of filming is unknown). Said Emma Watson, “the chase is great, before we get captured. We went to this amazing forest and they had a camera set up which I’ve never seen before; it kind of runs on a wire, so it is kind of like a remote control; apparently, it is incredible, and it runs unbelievably fast. So when we do the running scenes, there is a poor camera man desperately trying to sprint after it, trying to keep up with us, so we kind of have to slow it down a little bit. But with this, this camera is so bloody fast that Dan and I and Rupert were killing ourselves, I mean killing ourselves. I have never run so hard in my entire life.” According to Yates, these actors “run like maniacs, and its because they are trying to outcompete each other.” Yes, inside this scene is secret competition between the three. In the meanwhile, the course, which includes a large tree branch that serves as an obstacle, is planned by stunt coordinator Greg Powell. Nevertheless, Watson admitted that she enjoyed this scene.
And unfortunately, that is basically all the behind-the-scenes info for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. But here, you can enjoy some of the filming footages:
