Deathly Hallows set report: The Wedding!

Whoa nelly! Man, I step away from the computer for ONE DAY and look what happens!

Okay, so a lucky someone from HP4u.co.uk got to visit Leavesden Studios and get an exclusive backstage look at the wedding of Bill and Fleur in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The report is WICKED long, but here are a few highlights:

• Fleur (played by French actress Clemence Poesy) was radiant in a sleeveless cream dress that rolled off her like velvet waves onto the floor beneath her. On the front of the dress, embroidered in black lace were the images of two phoenixes.
• Her husband-to-be, Bill Weasley (Domhnall Gleeson) is a contrast of colors, with his trademark fiery Weasley hair, and a deep claret velvet jacket. One of his most striking features though are the claw marks deeply etched across his face.
• Hermione herself strolled out onto the dance floor with a partner, oblivious to the fact that Ron was watching her the entire time, quite upset, and no doubt jealous that she would dance with another. After the dance had ended, her partner quickly disappeared, being distracted by one or more of the bridesmaids it would seem, leaving Hermione alone and somewhat embarrassed on the dance floor.
• As the dancing reaches its peak, we see first Lupin and then Harry make appearances into the wedding tent, though both are largely ignored by the guests at large. This is the point when the madness begins. A strange glowing ball of light (Patronus) appears, and from it, a dire warning in a deathly voice “The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming.”

Is this awesome or what? Make sure you read the whole thing because I left out a LOT of details, amazingly enough. You can see photos they took of the set here as well; just scroll all the way down.
