MischiefSquared.

Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow.

Stuart Craig always kept in mind that his set designs should not only be wondrous or accurate, but they should also enhance and help the actors process. “looking back over what was 10 years of my life, you naturally pick out those moments of satisfaction. One in particular came when Alan Rickman said something to me after playing the scene when Snape dies. I designed the boathouse to be made of glass, so you’re very aware of the surrounding water, and you’re also aware of the school, where the great battle for Hogwarts is burning above you, the light of its fires filtering down to through the glass. So it’s very atmospheric, very romantic place to die. And Alan Rickman’s scene is magnificent. He is an extraordinary Actor. And he said to me afterwards “thank you for the set. It helped.” For Alan Rickman to say that was gratifying.“

Hello, December.

I annoy people.
