DH: Unconfirmed Spoiler & Davis Confirms Griphook Role

Posted by Lilysowl On August - 27 - 2009

Warwick DavisWe previously reported that Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick) obtained a Twitter account.  One of his recent tweets was a confirmation that he is playing the role of Griphook the goblin in Deathly Hallows.

Sorry to mess you all about. Yes, I am indeed playing ‘Griphook’. Let’s just keep that between ourselves though.

If you’ll recall, he also told Dijares that he was had the roles of both Griphook and Flitwick while on the red carpet at the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince New York City premiere.  You can see the interview here.

He was not the only Harry Potter star to make a recent tweet about Deathly Hallows.  Oliver Phelps, who portrays George Weasley, tweeted proudly

Wicked days filming today. I can say I am the first actor in the UK to have a VFX MOVA facial capture scan. Exciting technology…

Right then MOVA is a system where by using 29 cameras and UV makeup and lighting can get very detailed motions of ones face.

There are unconfirmed reports that this technique is being used for the seven Potters scene.  Supposedly, all the actors, whose characters become Harry Potter, will undergo a similar scan.  This will create molds of faces as their features transform into a resemblance of the boy wizard after they drink the polyjuice potion.

Thanks to TLC
