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.

Prepare For A Violent Harry Potter 7

n a difficult-to-hear interview at the Leeds Film Festival, Matthew Lewis (who plays Neville Longbottom in the film) admitted that the final chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be much more violent than the previous six.

When asked how different the upcoming film is, Lewis said, “it’s not like the previous ones. The previous ones all had a formula. You go to school, bad things happen, he sorts it out, job’s good and that’s the ending. But in this year it’s all completely different. They’re not in the school for a start and, literally, it’s such an epic battle. It’s like something from the Lord of the Rings… It’s bloody and it’s gory and it’s very real.”
