Finally, some answers!
For those of you who are curious to know how the young Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows actors will be aged twenty years for the film's adaptation of the love-it-or-hate-it series epilogue, Tom Felton, who appears in the scene as the nefarious Draco Malfoy, was kind enough to spill some info!
He's confirmed that Director David Yates is not just relying on aging the actors with CQI, they'll be using prosthetics as well!
Says Tom:
"For nearly two months, we've all been doing prosthetic tests and all sorts of preparation for the epilogue. I've been having some aging training. You've got to walk differently. There's a slump in your walk. It's going to be the last big thing that we do. It's going to be on location. It's bizarre. We have a lovely guy who comes in. It was a little weird the first time — imagine you've got weights on your arms! There have been a number of times where I nearly laughed and I had to hold it in. We're probably at the most exciting bit. Certainly the part I've been most looking forward to. It's going to be very exciting."
Inneresting!
We're glad they're taking the time to work with the teens - readers of the series were pretty split in half on the cheese factor at the end of the last book, so it's nice to know that they're committed to make the actors look and appear as legit as possible!
Otherwise, the entire sequence would definitely look RIDICULOUS!
What do U think?? Will they successfully pull off aging the cast??
