Daniel Radcliffe cries at last Harry Potter scene

DANIEL RADCLIFFE has admitted he cried when he filmed the last ever scene for a Harry Potter film.

"We were all really devastated," said Radcliffe.

"It was really very sad, a weird, weird feeling. We were crying quite a lot."

Even though the boy-wizard's waterworks show that the last scene in the series is now in the can, there are still two more films to be released.

That's because the last volume in the seven book series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was such a doorstopper that when it came to the film, they had to split it into two, or else we'd have been stuck in the cinema for six hours.

Part one of HPATDH comes out in London on 19 November with part two in cinemas by July 2010.
