Harry Potter Crew Overcome on Final Day

Now it can be shown: The last day of filming of the last Harry Potter movie was not so magical. It was rather heartbreaking. Cast mates applauded one another, and burbled, and recalled their amazing time together and expressed grief that it was over. "How do I put into words such an incredible experience?" asks Emma Watson on a just-released Warner Brothers film of the Big Wrap. "I feel so blessed that I was chosen. I was given the chance to experience all this and have this be part of my life. We were the chosen ones. We were very lucky."

Rupert Grint says he's going to miss "just everyone—the people, this place. I'm going to miss playing Ron." Star Daniel Radcliffe tells the cast "this has been my life. It's going to be very, very odd for all of us. I don't know what my day-to-day life consists of without you." He said in an interview later that he "wept like a child" when it was all over.
