Film / Arts / Film News / News Digital aging to be used in Harry Potter flick

Posted By on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 3:36 PM

The article in Paste Magazine (below), states that the actors of the Harry Potter film series will be aged digitally for the final scene of the upcoming movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Is making them look older really necessary?

The young stars of the Harry Potter series are going to be digitally aged by the crew behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the final scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Deathly Hallows, which is going to be split into two films, will culminate in Rowling's famous last scene, which takes place several decades in the future, when the Hogwarts students are in their thirties. But instead of casting older actors in the parts of Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny, producer David Heyman decided to have the crew that worked on Brad Pitt cast their magic on the Potter actors. "I'd feel terrible about having other people take those parts at the last gasp," he said.

Daniel Radcliffe, who portrays Potter, is less optimistic about the process than Heyman. "If it's good I'll be really pleased," he said, "but I'm just nervous about the idea. If it's not good and that's what people are left with that would be awful."
