Harry Potter’s friend Dobby

Dobby the house-elf was fatally-wounded after saving Harry Potter’s life.  While many of Dobby’s scenes were computer-generated, this life-sized animatronic model was used in the filming of the death scene.  I was lucky enough to get a chance to document the set and props of the most successful movie series of all time.  What a cool experience!  I saw some creepy creatures & beautiful costumes and learned some closely-guarded secrets, too.  And of course, the Butterbeer taps were still flowing!  Location: Warner Bros.
