WB released a deleted scene from Deathly Hallows: Part 1 featuring Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. In a quiet moment during their search for the horcruxes, Ron schools Hermione in the art of skipping stones.

There is also another on the set video from the seven Harry’s scene. Emma just appears for a moment, but she has a great comment about filming this part.

Another year has passed and Emma will soon be 21. Emma-Watson.net has done a birthday project for the past 5 years and I think it is a nice tradition to keep up. The simple idea of a birthday card has been the best way that lets the most people participate, so that is what we are doing again this year. You can send in birthday messages, art work, poems, stories, photos or anything else you can think of to say Happy Birthday. If we can print it, we’ll include it in the card. The card will be posted online on Emma’s birthday, and a printed copy sent to her. Let’s make this the biggest project ever!

Warner Bros. released a new video with a behind the scenes look at making the seven Potters scene in Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Daniel Radcliffe portrays his own character Harry, as well as 6 other characters, and studied each of the actors to see how they moved and how they said things to make the scene more real. Daniel said portraying Emma as Hermione was one of the easiest characters.

ABC Family aired another behind the scenes feature today during their Harry Potter Weekend. David Barrons talks about the last day of filming, the last shot of principal photography. The scene is where the trio dives into the fireplace to escape the Ministry of Magic. It was an easy green screen shoot, but a difficult day and an enormous moment.

“It was a very simple shot for them. We did it 2 or 3 times, and then suddenly that was it, that was the end of Harry Potter.”
