The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the dark lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…

What strikes you most when you see pictures of the cast from ten years ago?
“How they remain very much the same humble, decent people they were back then. Yesterday, a 6 year old girl asked us, ‘Is the magic in the films real?’ And Emma said, ‘There was magic in the making of these films, and as Dumbledore says, ‘Just because it’s in your head doesn’t make it any less real.’” — David Heyman

"But yeah, I would have liked to see it simply because it explains so much about Neville. About who he is. That tender moment when his mother gives him that sweet-wrapper, and it’s so insignificant, and his Gran dismisses it and says, “She doesn’t know what she’s doing.” But to Neville, it’s the most beautiful moment. In his mind, that’s his mother recognizing him. And it’s tear-jerking when you read the book. It’s amazing. And it’s his love for his parents and his friends that is really spurring him on. You would have really seen why Neville was trying so hard to overcome this fear and become a wizard so he can fight the Death Eaters, and why he stands up to them, and why he has that rousing speech at the end of this. It’s because of his parents."
—Matt Lewis (on Neville’s visit to St. Mungo’s being cut from HP5)

‘It’s no wonder no one can stand her,’ he said to Harry as they pushed their way into the crowded corridor. ‘She’s a nightmare, honestly.’ Someone knocked into Harry as they hurried past him. It was Hermione. Harry caught a glimpse of her face - and was startled to see that she was in tears. ‘I think she heard you.’
- Philosopher Stone, chapter 10
There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione’s arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet.

This is the final installment, on a scale of 1-10, how sad are you to be leaving?
Matthew: 6 and a half.
Rupert: Oh, definitely 9.
Tom: Let’s go to..9. 9 on the sadness scale because we’re still a bit excited about it.
Emma: I would say 10. A full on 10, absolutely!
The other boys are like “6 and a half”!
Emma: WHAT?
One of them actually said he was relieved.
Emma: NO!

Tom: One of my favorite characters in this film is Neville’s. All this while he’s been this bumbling, and sort of useless. He released the (Dumbledore’s) Army this time. He really stands up and makes one of those braveheart speeches. It’s great. I was getting teared up on the other side.
