Chris Rankin to Finish Filming "Deathly Hallows" in May
RankinEarlier this week, Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) and Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) were among those to speak on the Harry Potter Day at Leeds Young People's Film Festival. In a follow up interview about the event, Chris Rankin mentioned that he was due to finish filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" shortly. Talking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Rankin said, "I finish filming mid-May so there's not long to go. It will be strange and very sad to say goodbye."
The Percy Weasley actor also described the Hyde Park Picture House - where the Harry Potter film marathon took place - as "the cinema which time forgot." Rankin remarked that it was "fantastic" to see grandparents and grandchildren together at the event, "enjoying the films as a family."

I really look forward to his role in the movies. Percy was one of the many characters that I always thought was perfectly cast :) When he said that it was “very sad to say goodbye” it shows how passionate he was about the movie. It has been a great ride and an oppurtunity to have great actors :)
