More about Snape and the Boathouse Death Scene
My Previous Entry about the Boathouse is: HERE
This news comes from dreyesbo who Posted on Chamber of Secrets a quote from the Mexican magazine Cine Premiere and translated it to English. (He thinks it may have originally been in English, then translated to Spanish, then back to English, so there are a few questions. But it's all good because eventually we will get a picture of this scene!!!)
Cine Premiere has a website HERE but I can't find this article or quote online. So once again a member of CoS gets the scoop! I think the line about "crystal house" may mean they built glass walls for the Boathouse so they could film it from the outside.
The art director, Andrew Ackland-Snow, described to us another set created for the film. [...] "We also made the boat house. We wanted to change a bit where Snape dies. In the book, he dies on the Shrieking Shack, and we wanted to get him out from, not a conventional interior, but from that kind of box, to do it in a more dramatic atmosphere. We asked J.K. if she agreed for that to happen in there, because we hadn't really seen it before. We made a crystal house, and you can see what happens in the boat house from there - Are you listening Harry? -, but also the school is in flames...and she loved it. Besides, it's a very romantic place to die. Snape dies in a extremely good way, I gotta say."
