Cinema Blend says ABC that Harry Potter fans may want to stay tuned to ABC Family’s upcoming run of the first five movies. Starting on Thursday, the network will air behind-the-scenes looks at Deathly Hallows Part 2 in between airings of the other films in the series.
Here’s what the network says:
Faithful Potter fans will also be given a chance to go behind-the scenes with never-before-seen interview footage from the cast and filmmakers which give insights on key scenes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 & 2, as well as revisiting important moments from the previous films to prepare for the final battle that takes place in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. The never-before-seen footage that will be airing throughout the weekend includes a look back at Harry and Ginny’s relationship, director David Yates’ take on Harry and Hermione’s relationship, the origins of The Marauder’s Map and a look into the very last shot of principal photography of the film franchise with producer David Baron. ABC Family will also be airing exclusive sneak peeks at some of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2’s most exciting moments, including Harry & Draco’s fight in the Room of Requirement, the hair-raising dragon sequences and the final courtyard battle between good and evil.
