Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Behind-the-Scenes Video and New DH2 Photos

Here's a behind-the-scenes video from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One that you may have not seen before. Daniel and Bonnie seem to be reassuring the fans that there really isn't anything going on between Harry and Hermione. It's all in Ron's head…



I like the fact that Daniel reasssures the audience that Hermione is Ron's girl–as if we didn't already know that! ;)


And…here are a few new promotional photos from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two that were recently released. I am really looking forward to the Neville vs. Nagini fight now! :) Neville looks amazing.

Ron/Hermione: Tiny Ball of Light

Unfortunately, the YouTube video of the Oscars' autotuned parody of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Toy Story 3, The Social Network, and Twilight that I posted here yesterday is no longer available. The good news is that there is a video of just the Ron/Hermione segment here for your enjoyment. :)

Ron/Hermione Autotune Parody on the 2011 Academy Awards

Like many other Harry Potter fans who tuned in to the 2011 Oscars, I certainly did not expect to see Ron and Hermione (my favorite Harry Potter couple) parodied on television this evening. Watch this video of the autotuned parody of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Toy Story 3, The Social Network, and Twilight. :)

Visit my Tumblr blog at http://phoenixweasley.tumblr.com/  and follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/DeniseRoper for a peek at Harry Potter fandom's reaction to this. I think all of the Ron/Hermione fans just died of happiness. ;)

 UPDATE: MTV News just blogged about this:


What followed was an unexpectedly silly musical tribute that began with the instant classic "Tiny Ball of Light," credited to Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1." Taking a pivotal scene in the woods where the longtime pals reunite, Ron and Hermione are drawn into a finger-snapping R&B slow jam with a thumping beat and over-the-top Auto-Tune effects that would make T-Pain proud.


"This ball of light, this tiny ball of light floated through my chest, floated through me right here," Weasley stutter-sings as an incredulous Granger croons, "What exactly did it say, may I ask?" The sure-to-be-viral classic artfully reimagined the dialogue from the film and was right out of the "Saturday Night Live" school of digital-short musical parodies.

Rupert Grint and Emma Watson Fan Video

I just posted this on Tumblr and thought I would share it with those of you who follow this blog also. It's dazzleme7′s fan video of  Harry Potter stars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson together over the years.



She chose a great song for them and did a wonderful job of editing these clips together, didn't she?


Here's another photo of Rupert, Emma, and J. K. Rowling at the BAFTAs. Enjoy!

J. K. Rowling, David Heyman, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson BAFTA Interview

Here's a video of a BAFTA-related interview with J. K. Rowling, David Heyman, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson. Enjoy!



This quote from snitchseeker.com made me laugh:  "When asked if she ever pictured the actors while writing her books, Jo Rowling joked that she could imagine Rupert while she put Ron Weasley in embarrassing situations." Listen for that part in the video. :)


I found this on Tumblr. So hilarious!


I also loved J. K. Rowling's description of Emma's reaction to the idea of kissing Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe: Emma laughed so much that she rolled off of the sofa! :)


Here's great another video of J. K. Rowling discussing that same topic. ;)



Aren't these videos great? Rowling is so awesome! :)
