All the figures are from
the Order of the Phoenix range since the story
was shot long before the Half Blood Prince
figures came out. The security guard is from a
Poundstretcher series of Cops n Robbers that have proved
very useful for the AFT. |

| Hermione Grainger |
| Neville Longbottom |

without fanfare on 28th August 2009. |

 |
| This is one of several ideas that had
been kicking around for a new Harry Potter AFT. One of
the restrictions about a story set in the 'Potterverse'
is that within J.K.Rowling's tightly plotted story,
there isn't room for anything really earth shattering.
This story began life as a story that explored what
Voldemort was up to, something that's not clearly
depicted in the books. |
| One of the effects of this story is to
set up a possible method of travelling between
universes. The AFT has always kept the worlds of Star
Wars, Harry Potter, Doctor Who and others separate but
always had one eye on the possibility of blurring the
lines between them for a bit. |

| The bulk of this story was shot back to
back with Doctor Who: Forget Me Nots. It uses the same
church set, although redressed to appear as the museum
and as Hogwarts. |
| Among the artefacts in the museum are
the Sarcophagus from a Pharoid micronaut. The glass case
contains the body swap device used in our Doctor Who
story Backwards. The Star of Protagorus itself is a wand
with a spider on the end that came with a cheap pound
shop wizard figure. |
| Some additional shooting was necessary
for Dumbledore's office, the library and Snape's office.
These all used the same walls, redressed and lit
differently. Indiana Jones' Holy Grail is used here as
Dumbeldore's Pensieve. |
| Along side these scenes was the scene
where Snape meets with Voldemort. By this time, we'd got
hold of a Bellatrix figure and since she's one of my
favourite characters, I couldn't resist putting her in
it. |
| The final pick up shots were of Harry's
recovery. |
|

 |
|
| During the first shooting block, the
script was still unfinished so Death Eaters were filmed
flooding into the museum. Since the subsequent battle
was clearly just between Dumbledore and Voldemort, the
Death Eaters were edited out. Moody was also filmed
appearing in the museum after the battle. |

 |
| It's hard to put this strictly into JK's tight continuity so
I won't try. |
|
Dumbledore disarms Voldemort with "Expulsum". I can't
imagine Dumbeldore using a simplistic spell like 'expeliarmus'
so I created a slightly more powerful and adult version. |
|
He continues with 'Subverto' a latin word for 'destroy'.
I chose this word because of its clandestine connotations as
Dumbeldore in fact hides the artefact rather than destroys it. |
|
No one can apparate into or out of Hogwarts because of magical
charms around the building. So how does the Death Eater appear
to Snape? In the original script he's just a face in a jar but
this was forgotten when it was filmed. I suggest that it's a
mirage similar to communicating via the flue network. |
