Death Eater at Gringotts Revealed
SnitchSeeker recently chatted with actor Jon Campling, whom many Harry Potter fans may have spotted played a notable Death Eater in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, as photographed below. Campling discussed how he got his Death Eater role, which required several rounds of auditions, finally leading up to the final go with director David Yates.
Campling also mentioned that he will be seen in the final installment in of the series, Deathly Hallows: Part II, alongside a disguised Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, Helena Bonham Carter as Hermione Granger, and Warwick Davis as Griphook at Gringotts, where his Death Eater will once again be trying to halt the dubious acts of the three heroes and their goblin companion.
As a new actor on the set of the films, Campling gave his own personal experience of being embraced with ease by the cast and crew around him, especially Helena and Warwick, and how easy it was to work with David Yates. More on Campling's experience on the set of Deathly Hallows, including bumping into Daniel Radcliffe, and unfortunately laying dead as Voldemort cried out some of his harsher threats to his enemies in the eighth Harry Potter film can all be read and heard in our interview below.
SnitchSeeker: Did you get a chance to work with Ralph Fiennes?
Campling: I was in the same room with him while he was giving his all as a most, MOST disgruntled Voldemort. But I was, unfortunately, dead at the time. So it was quite bizarre. I spent about three hours, laying in blood listening to Ralph bellow and wail and cast aspersions upon his many enemies. Which is a scene I cannot wait to see because when the CGI and everything else is added to what Ralph was doing in the room it is going to come across as quite astounding. 'Manic' is possibly a word that I can use. It was quite something to behold.

just like carne said
cool
"Rupert, very briefly. But alas, not Dan, although I did meet [him]. On the day I was working with a scene that he's in but he didn't need to be there for the filming of it - "he said, dancing around the plot there, slightly."

Is this when Voldemort kills the goblins and whoever was in his area when he found out the trio have been destroying his horcruxes? I'm guessing the death eater he plays is Travers as well?
The way he talks about the CGI that will go with the scene(and the blood) sounds really epic, can't wait to see it.
SnitchSeeker: Was this a battle scene?
Campling: He was filming somewhere else. We were doing second unit shoots in Malfoy Manor. Just a bizarre coincidence, by the time we'd wrapped and Dan had wrapped wherever they were filming, we both ended up at the same sink. He was just ahead of me, so I had to wait behind him. Not really paying any attention until a very polite young man turned around and said, "Oh hi ... there ya go, mate." And I said, "Oh," washing my hands thinking, "That was Mr. Radcliffe."
That sounds like it's going to be fantastic!!
Oh...my...god
O:)
Mysterious thing time.
The way Harry moved and
the whole voice-change thing
was INTENSE!
