Yesterday USA Today released the first official picture from the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I). The young trio looks grim, reflecting the serious mood of the film, which director David Yates says is much more grounded in reality. “They’re out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts,” he explains.
Release date for the first part of Deathly Hallows is set for November 2010, with the second half to follow in summer 2011. (Rumor has it that the final installment of the Twilight saga will also be filmed in two parts.) Are you counting the days?
