Stuart Craig, the Production Designer on all of the Harry Potter films, has sadly passed away at the age of 83.
He is responsible for the design and creation of all of the wonderful sets that we see throughout the films such as Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic, the common rooms, the Great Hall, the Burrow, the Room of Requirement, Malfoy Manor, and so on.
Every single set that you see in the films - that was Stuart Craig who designed them. He also was the Production Designer on all of the Fantastic Beasts films, and designed all of Universalโs Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks.
He cannot be thanked enough for bringing the world of Harry Potter to life on screen, and his work will live on forever. RIP. ๐๏ธ
This was very strange to watch. I am so attached to the actors from the films that seeing other actors play those same characters is extremely weird.
Hagrid doesnโt feel like Hagrid because someone other than Robbie Coltrane is playing him now. Same with McGonagall, Snape, Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hermione, the Weasley twins, all of them. I do not mean to be disrespectful, but they feel like imposters. Thatโs just my attachment to the actors who played these characters in the films.
And we will always have the films, thankfully. The new generation of Harry Potter fans can watch and enjoy the TV show.
First Tom Felton, now Rupert Grint. ๐๐ฆ
So great to hear that Rupert will reprise his role as Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway!
He will appear from February to May 2027.
Warwick Davis came to New York to watch Tom Felton perform in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last night.
Tom wrote on Instagram: โHad a special guest and dear friend come see the show tonight. I nearly cried on stage saying 'Wingardium Leviosa' knowing he was watching.โ ๐ซ

Hard to believe that it has been 16 years alreadyโฆ
