The secret script for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was found in a bar in Hertfordshire, England after the crew had a couple of drinks!
When the tome was found, it was stamped as Private and Confidential and was eventually returned to its rightful place at Warner Bros. studios. But it won’t be forgotten! Executives are investigating how the script could have been left behind.
A production source said that the crew headed to the bar for a celebration as they caught up after a period of delayed filming.
“They’d got behind schedule in filming but then caught up, so they went out for a celebratory drink which led to many more,” claims the insider. “There was a huge group. They were here all night, laughing and joking, chucking back beers. They usually come down for a session on a Friday, but because it was Easter they were in a day early.”
And it was quite the surprise for the man who found the script!
“I couldn’t believe my eyes. I know guys that work on the film drink in the pub, but it’s very embarrassing that someone could just leave it there. I’m glad I’ve helped to stop any surprises being leaked,” said the extremely honest man.
He could have made a TON of $$$$$$. Very admirable.
