muggal, a half blood or a full blown wizard, it may be hard to believe that one of hollywood's most successful film franchises ever is about to come to an end. from books to movies to a theme park in orlando, j.k. rolling's story about a young wizard and his adventures has become a pop culture phenomenon. the statistics are staggering. over the past ten years, the seven films alone have made some $6 billion. tonight you'll hear secrets from the set. you'll see how the wizards world was brought to the big screen. we'll even show you an exclusive never before seen clip of the final movie just days before it opens. but first a look back at how it all began. >> harry, be safe, be strong. >> harry potter, the boy who

lived faces his biggest challenge yet. >> only i can live forever. >> a final showdown with the dark lord valentine da mort. an epic battle ten years in the making. >> the last harry potter. how does that feel? >> you know, very, very strange considering we've done it for ten years. it's also a wonderful feeling of achievement and particularly you know, i'm very, very proud of this last film and it's the best out of all of them i think. and yeah, i'm very, very excited. >> also excited? well, the millions of harry potter fans around the world who have been waiting years for this finale. >> from what i could see just shooting it, i knew it was -- it's pretty epic. it's as -- i think we do it justice. i definitely -- yeah. i do. >> now, join me, harry and

confront your fate. >> voldemort is kind of rising again and it's disturbing to be losing characters that we've known since the first book and it's, yeah, i think it's going to be shocking just 0 see the cast kind of collapse to this kind of burning piles of rubble. >> come on. let's finish the story where we started together. >> harry potter and the deathly hallows," part 2 is sure to be the biggest movie event of the summer and will give fans the ending they've been waiting to see since we first met the young wizard in 2001's harry potter and the sourcer's stone". it was tense years ago for the very first time we were able to see the world that until then was only imagined in books. >> plenty of courage i see. not a bad mind either. there's talent. >> up. get up. >> we laid eyes on harry potter.

orphan who was made to live in the cup board under the stairs by his aunt and uncle. >> there's no such thing as magic. >> tormented by his cousin. feeling isolated and alone, who found out if he was not only a wiz wizard, but the most famous wizard of all. we were also introduced to his two best friends. >> oh, are you doing magic? >> the book smart know it all hermione granger and harry's sidekick ron. the books and the seven movies so far have made stars out of the three then unknown child actors. daniel radcliffe, emma watson, and ruppert grint. they have grown up before our eyes. >> it's really strange. that's the only way i can describe it. it's -- it's been, i mean, i was

so young, it's difficult to remember much of my life before this thing happened to me. so it coming to an end is you know, it's huge. i was 9 years old. you know, i was still losing teeth if that puts it in perspective. i was still losing baby teeth. >> the first film was an instant hit forewarner brothers which like cnn is owned by time warner, but that wasn't a surprise, by then, harry was already a household name around the world to the millions of fans of the books. and it was all deem dreeped up by an unlikely author, j.k. rowling who was a single mother on welfare when she came up with an idea about a boy who does not know he's a wizard. >> do you remember how, how an idea came about? do you remember though the creation of this concept? >> yeah, it came to me on a

train going from manchester to london and it came very suddenly. >> what came? >> the idea for this boy who didn't know what he was. until he was 11 and then he got this invitation to go off to wizard school. i had this very physical pons to the idea. i was so excited. >> the first book was released in 1997, marketed as a simple children's book by a first-time author, many people, including rowling hearse did not have high hopes for it. >> i thought i was writing quite an obscure book, that if it ever got published would maybe have a handful devoted. i think it is a book for obsessives. i thought maybe a few people would like it a lot. i never expected to have broad appeal. >> roling who was turned down by several publishers after she wrote the first book has become one of the richest woman in the world, so successful she's reported bypassed even the queen in wealth.

her story spawned seven best selling novels which have sold more than 400 million copies. the books are available in 200 countries and have been translated into some 70 languages. each release of a new novel was a cause for celebration for fans who lined up days in advance to be the first to walk out with the latest sorry. but in 2007, when rowling released the final chapter of the series, harry pot ter and the deathly hallows," we knew it would eventually come to this. >> the boy who live d come to die. >> harry and voldemort's final stand. the last harry potter movie ever. >> you said this one, the one opening later this week is the best. >> uh-huh. >> why? >> i think it's the most exciting. i think it's the most direct.

i think we did so well in part, by setting up all the plot that people need to understand this second film that we can just dive straight in and give people this. and what's i think in this film we find the balance best between the emotional side of the films and the action-packed adventure exciting side. i mean, i think we've never got the balance so right before. >> i would agree. it's a hell of a movie. >> it is a hell of a movie. >>. >> coming up, an exclusive trip from the final harry potter film that you won't see anywhere else. plus, we'll slow you how raef fines went from this to this. but next, daniel radcliffe reveals what happened on the last day of filming. >> i kind of went like a child on that last day. >> when this larry king special harry potter the final chapter,

ten years ago, it was the million dollar question, who would play harry potter. producers set out to find the perfect boy. >> dan is great. it was a very difficult process. finding harry was very hard, like trying to find scarlet o'hara. i think everyone was getting slightly desperate. i was walking down the streets of edinboro in london and looking at boys who passed me in

a very suspicious looking way, and i was thinking, could it be him. and the producer and director walked in the theater one night and found dan. and dan is an actor. he's just perfect. >> daniel's biggest role was in a bbc mini series, david copperfield. his parents, both of whom have some connection to the industry, tried to keep him from trying out for the potter movies. unbeknown thes to radcliff, the producer had asked the boy's parents if he could audition. not wanting this role to disrupt his childhood, they declined. eventually, fate stepped in one night at the theater. >> i was sitting in the theater minding my own business with my mom and dad, and in front of us was sitting the producer of "harry potter," david heyman and the screen writer steve clovis. i was completely unaware of why this man kept looking at me and looking at me and sort of staring me throughout the show

and i didn't know what to make of it. then i remember my dad and my mom getting quite flustered. eventually, that was the moment they said, well, maybe this was meant to be. let's let him audition. >> how did they tell you you got it? >> i was in the bath, and my dad got the phone call downstairs and came in and said, you've got the part. i was just very, very happy. >> how old were you? >> i was 11. i think i just turned 11. i had no idea what the implications were but knew that that probably meant i bought myself a half hour extra before i had to go to bed that night. >> the implications were that radcliffe's life was about to change forever. did you have a normal boyhood? >> it's very hard to say. i mean, no, i guess is the short answer. i certainly didn't have normal teenage years but, equally, i don't really know what normal means. i mean, was i happy and healthy and surrounded by fun and love? yes.

that's kind of really -- i was also surrounded by inspirational, interesting people from a variety of different backgrounds. >> so many child stars, for want of a better term, kids who become famous early, have major problems. >> yes. >> you didn't. can you explain that? >> kids are not supposed to be famous at 11. >> no, they're not. i think what i put it down to is the fact that the -- i think it's very different doing it in england than it is doing it in america. i think when you do it over here, you're treated as a star first and a child second. whereas in england, i think it's the other way around. you're treated as a child first and then you're also an actor in these films. but i don't think anyone panders to it possibly as much in england as they do in america. thankfully i have not gone massively off the rails. >> have you enjoyed it? >> oh, yeah, immensely, absolutely. i mean, while there have been

moments obviously i'd be lying if i said every single day was fantastic, but, you know, generally speaking, i just had the best time. i got to work with my best friends every day. >> do you like harry? >> yes, i do, very, very much. >> anything you don't like about him? >> yes, of course. he's kind of arrogant and pretty selfish at times. not so much in the later films and, also, i think there's often a little bit of the smell of burning martyr about harry. he occasionally, i think, likes to -- the fact that it's all on him and i mean, i think there's a line where he says he eames to relish his fame. while i think that's obviously true, he does have a hero complex that he thinks he always has to be the hero, which i suffer from myself sometimes. >> really? >> i think so, yes.

>> not wanting to be typecast forever as harry potter, radcliffe began branching out. in 2008 he made his broadway debut in a controversial show, "equus" appearing naked on stage. today he stars in the revival of "how to succeed in business without really trying." >> it's so not what you would expect from you, dancing, singing, jumping. >> absolutely. anyone who knows me would expect the jumping but the dancing and singing, yeah, it's something completely different. i've got the energy to do it at this age. i might as well do it. it's also -- i do think there's -- as an actor, i don't think you'll ever work ha much harder than doing a broadway show, particularly a musical eight times a week. yeah, i like working hard. that's the other thing that potter has instilled in me is a work ethic, that i love to work. >> how have you kept a balance through all of this? >> i think the most important

thing for me to remember is that it doesn't matter who would have got this part. they would be receiving this kind of attention and this much -- when you step out of the car at a premiere and you get hit by that wall of noise and screaming, it's reimportant for me to remember that they would be screaming for somebody else had he got the part. it's not about me. it's about the franchise and the character. that, i kind of have to think about a lot to keep it in perspective and stop myself getting big headed. coming up next, behind the scenes exclusives, special effect wizards will show us never-before-scene footage of the making of lord voldemort. plus, an exclusive first look at a scene from "harry potter and the deathly hal lows:part 2" on a larry king special "harry potter, the final chapter." goodnight, stuffy.

j.k. rowling created a unique world within the pages of her "harry potter" books. a world where cars fly and wall portraits talk, books try to eat children, magic spells are cast with the simple wave of a wand.

>> fantastic, guinea! >> and where ralph fiennes transforms into voldemort. we'll be showing you more of this exclusive footage in just a moment. >> it's a really interesting -- there's an awful lot of very complex challenges in the potter books. j.k. rowling's writings are great. she gives a lot of very good description, but writing something down on the page and then translating it into a moving image is difficult because everybody has an idea when they read the book what it might look like. >> tim burke has been the visual effects supervisor on the films for the past eight years. his job? trying to make everything that happens at hog war hogwarts loo. >> i think visual effects and harry potter go hand-in-hand. you can't make the films without them. >> burke leads a team of hundreds of production wizards who make movie magic on the big screen. >> i don't think the audience would realize quite how many

effects there are in these himself from, especially down to the environment. it's quite startling when we show people what was actually shot and there's an actor in front of a green screen and what was in final film and he's standing in the scottish highlands. it often surprises people. >> what's down there? >> thankfully our three hero actors basically have learned how to act on terrible green screen stages with nothing else to work observe which is essential for us because it's only through their performance that you can then really believe that world existed when we've added it later on. >> and out of the nearly 200 creatures burke created for the flimts, has his favorites. >> most of them probably animated characters, when we did the hippogriff on the third film, that was a big technical challenge at the time and maybe easier to do now, but at the time, it was certainly a very difficult complex thing to do,

but it was a very big character in the film. we had to do a lot of complex things involving harry having to ride and then fly on the back of it. so realizing and completing for the film was quite an achievement. more recently, i really, really thought the work we did with creature and dobby in deathly hallows part 1 was really top notch because you had to empathize with these little cg characters to the point where you really had to feel harry's emotional distress when dobby died at the end. so to do a cg creature that causes the audience to shed a tear is quite a challenge but i think we managed to pull that off. that was quite a difficult thing but very rewarding, as well. >> but for every rewarding visual challenge, there are om effects that burke says have fallen flat. >> some things you're pleased with, other things are never quite sort of were as good as you hoped.

i think for me, if i'm completely honest, it would probably be grupe the fifth film didn't quite hit the mark unfortunately. we weren't really quite sure how believable he was at the end of the day. that was very disappointing, to be honest. you can't win them all. >> one of the most important transformations tim and his team have done, turning ralph fiennes into the dark voldemort, seen for the first time in in exclusive video publicly, we were able to show you how it was done. >> the face is something we finessed the technique over the years and, basically, ralph wears prosthetic makeup and a matrix of dots that cover his face that we have to replace with our digital prosthetic. we films him in all the action sequences and drama just normally.

and then remove his real nose in the computer afterwards and replace it after we've tracked the movement of his head in the computer, we replace it with our cg snake nose and that actually is animated as well oh there are moments where we flare the nostrils to emphasize a point when he's speaking or talking. so there's animation goes into that, as well. but it all has to be relit and texted to look like it was his real skin and that's done through a lot of sort of reference photos that we take for every set where we film him on and we use those to help light the skin. >> another one of burke's favorite effects, the monster book of monsters from "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban. >> this is a great sequence where the book actually comes alive. it tries to get harry. and it was done with a combination of a practical animatable prop that could

actually hope its mouth. the idea is it's got these teeth here. you can actually see it. snap and try and get harry and there's a great fun scene where he's trying to -- well, the book's trying to eat him and we've got a combination of cg animated book and a practical book that we used on set. and we animate all these little tentacles as well. so that was something that we could film practically on the set with dan and a real animatable book and then also there were times when we replaced the book itself with a cg one. there have been thousands of computer generated effects in the eight harry potter movies. but burke hopes you haven't noticed that. >> if you don't spot the effects, then you've done your job well. the real reward is when people don't watch they've been watching an effects film.

like harry potter. up next, rupert grint turns the tables on emma watson and daniel radcliffe and asks some questions of his own. >> maybe they want to know over the last day, i brought them both a trumpet and, yeah, they probably wondering why a trumpet. >> later, robbie coltrane and >> helena bonham carter who reveals secrets from behind the scenes. >> i did 25 takes. i just thought, you have no idea what's happening down there. >> on this larry king special, harry potter, the final chapter. ] this...is the network -- a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them.

it's the at&t network... and what's possible in here is almost impossible to say. really? 25 grams of protein. what do we have? all four of us, together? 24.

hi, there, i'm tom felton, and i play drake in the harry potter films. it's been an incredible ten years. i've been very, very lucky to have been at hogwarts for the last ten years. so i wanted a chance to say thank you very much, and i really hope you enjoy the last film. >> in "harry potter and the deathly hallows: part 2," gone is the innocence of childhood. harry, hermione, and ron face real danger, life and death. >> a different film, really. it's all kind of quite tense. i think people will be shocked at how brutal this is. >> it was -- the last two films were dark for me, to play them,

and to be in that world every day. >> we did so many scenes there was so much adrenaline and fear required, it was really intense, genuinely. >> like millions of other children around the world, both emma watson and rupert grint were huge fans of harry potter. >> whenever i was reading the books, i always felt like a strong connection to ron. i even entered like a look-alike competition that was in the paper. and yeah, i won the best ron. >> i loved those books. my dad used to read them to my brother and i. i just loved them and love hermione. >> watson and grint have spent almost half their lives playing hermione granger and weasley. now with the release of the final film, they look back to the beginning. >> our first audition when i first met dan and emma, and

yeah, it does seem like a such a long time ago. >> nicolas for now is the only known maker of the sourcer's stone. >> the what. >> i think we were just kind of reading. it was the aim for the forbidden section of the library and yeah r, i remember hearing my voice. really kind of quiet. >> the three young stars have gone through so much together, becoming famous the world over at such a young age. >> it's been 11 years of quite an intimate process, where you're kind of with each other every day all year, every year. it's quite unique kind of thing we've shared with each other, i think. >> so what do they really think of each other? >> dan, he's always been quite hyperactive, quite loud.

he's very funny. >> dan is the most energetic, hard working, kind person. he works very, very hard. so he's pretty incredible. >> yeah, me and emmy do things all the time. she's great. she's really kind of caring. >> he's a real eccentric. he's a genuine eccentric. i've never been to his house but i would love to go because it sounds like it's full of the most magical wonderful things. he has la mas and miniature pigs and he's bought a whoevercraft, and he has a cow on one of his roofs in his house in london. and he bought an ice cream van that genuinely, would. it's funny because he's this very quiet guy but kind of just loves crazy stuff. >> did you hit it off with emma and rupert right away?

>> yeah, i think so. >> you grew up together. >> we kind of had to. we did. >> you bonded? >> yeah, rupert and i particularly. emma was always the -- you know, kind of, when it came to preventing herself from laughing on set, she was the best. rupert and i were terrible. >> during the interview, rupert had some fun and decided to ask some questions of his own. >> maybe they want to know on the last day, i brought them both a trumpet. and yeah, they probably want to know why a trumpet. >> do you know why? >> because he's mad and rupert. i imagine, i don't know. no. >> he's crazy. >> i don't know if there's another reason. >> there's no reason for a trumpet? >> no. >> okay, so, dan, would you ever consider dyeing your hair ginger? >> yes, but only for him.

>> in a private moment. >> at his request, i would do that. >> and for emma? >> emma, who do you like best, me or dan? >> of course. neither. i don't think neither of them are that great. no, i'm joking. obviously, i love them both equally, because that's the diplomatic answer. that's the right thing to say. >> like their characters, emma and rupert have grown up in front of the world. unlike ron and hermione, they had to deal with the fame of who they are and what they represent to millions of fans. >> they give me like presents and stuff and just touch me. it's really weird. that kind of side has taken me awhile to kind of get used to. >> some little children are sometimes scared of me because they think i'm going to -- i can do a spell or i really am magic in real life. my voice gets really funny and i

try and kind of say, i'm not going to do anything to you. it's okay. sometimes you can't convince them, because they believe in it. they really believe in it. >> now that it's over, the world and these actors prepare to say good-bye to harry, hermione, and ron. >> it was kind of a shock kind of leaving it behind and i wasn't really prepared for how i would feel and how much it kind of meant to me. >> it's been pretty great to grow up being her even though i wasn't spending so much time being me. i really do understand and realize that and feel good about it, yeah, really lucky, definitely. still ahead, james and oliver phelps take us on a tour of the wizarding world of "harry potter" and talk to fans on the eve of the final film. >> just seeing all of their faces. they're just in awe of it. it shows how much it means to

people. >> plus, a scene you won't see anywhere else. daniel radcliffe talks about what's next. >> i want kids and i want lots. i absolutely do. >> on this larry king special, "harry potter: the final chapter." other good thing abouto is, they've got, like, real live people working there 24/7. so like say you need to report a claim, alright. a real person will be there to help you. then you can use geico.com to view photos of the damage, track your claim, print an estimate. you want an english muffin? they literally hand you a toasted muffin with butter and jam.

i felt stuck. i just couldn't shake my depression. so i talked to my doctor. he said adding abilify to my antidepressant could help with my depression, and that some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. he also told me about a free trial offer from abilify! now i feel more in control of my depression. [ male announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or if you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it. in some cases, extreme high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. other risks include decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness upon standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills.

depression used to define me, then my doctor added abilify to my antidepressant. now, i feel better. [ male announcer ] if you're still struggling with depression talk to your doctor to see if the option of adding abilify is right for you. and be sure to ask about the free trial offer.

i'm standing here in front of hagrid's hut, who was a friend and confidante of harry and ron and hermione during the years at hogwarts. robby coltrane has played hagrid since the beginning of the series. he's just one of many acclaimed british actors in this very talented cast including people like maggie smith and allan rickman and helena bonham carter. tonight they open up about "harry potter" and why these may have been the roles of a lifetime. >> welcome, harry. >> ruby is hagrid, a big man at more than eight feet tall with a personality to match. how big an outfit is it to get into? >> it weighs about 110 pounds, i guess.

there was no way around that. it just had to look absolutely right. >> do you like hagrid? >> i do like hagrid, yes. ooze a sort of -- that's a very good question. no one's asked me that before. i do like hagrid. he's a big decent sort of bloke. >> hello. sorry, don't wish to be rude but i'm in no fit state to entertain today. >> we know about the sourcer's stone. >> j.k. rowling had said coltrane was her first choice to play the half giant, that his acting brought a subtlety necessary to the character. with all the fans that these books have in the films, do you feel an enormous responsibility to get hagrid right? >> yes. i did feel an enormous responsibility to get hagrid right. i also think everyone else did, you know, i'm talking about the sparks and woodworkers and construction people, everybody, because they're all parents, too. they had all read the books to their kids, and i think everybody raised their game.

you look at the cast list of all the people we've had over the ten years, you know, it's just the absolute who's who have british acting. it's been an extraordinary experience for everybody, i think. >> one of the later additions to that who who's who have british actors, helena bonham carter as bellatrix lestrange. >> she has issue, a social path or psychopath. she definitely takes pleasure from pain, which makes her definitely very, very sick. >> bellatrix has been a potter fan favorite since she was introduced in "order of the phoenix." >> it's great fun to play. i'd go to work and it was amazing to be paid over a period of four years to go to work, be paid lots of money to wait around and play a witch and be really naughty. >> in the final film, there's a pivotal scene at the end of the movie, a final fight during the battle of hogwarts, with ron weasley's mom, something carter

says fans will look forward to. >> we had a duel, and i won the -- i wanted the dual to be like fencing without actually making contact. it was really hard work. at the end, we definitely needed the chiropractor after. it's very easy to throw your shoulder out. >> we won, we won, we won. >> carter is not one to hold back. when we asked her to tell us a secret from the set, she opened the floodgates. >> i did a wee wee, don't tell anyone. >> seems after giving birth to her daughter and returning to work, her bladder wasn't what it used to be. >> i'm barely able to stand up, let alone jump around and screaming. bellatrix screams. anybody who had a baby, you know if you scream and just had a baby, nothing's you know, everything you know, it's niagara. we did 25 takes. you have no idea what's happening down there. larry, you did ask me. >> carter's played many quirky characters over the years but said she has an affection for

bellatrix and her time on "harry potter." >> i loved it and it's been a real privilege and honor to be part of it. to be part of something that's just so stimulates this mass manual nation across the world of children is and to feast on people's imagination and to even, it's in some way exciting for them. >> from the wizarding world on the screen to the wizarding world of harry potter at universal studios, florida, where in the past year, millions of potter fans have gone to get an up close look at where harry and his friends called home. >> you can walk around and there's snow on the rooftops. it's brilliant. >> seeing all their faces, they're in awe of it. i think it shows how much it means to people. >> we asked james and oliver phelps, better known as fred and george weasley, to give us a

tour of the park from dumbledorf's office. >> the actual books are all detailed in about wizarding masses. >> to oliver's wine shop -- >> perhaps this. >> -- to getting a butter beer. and as you can imagine, the fans took notice. >> like walking around here in early life and people coming up to us and it's pretty neat. a lot of people taking photos and everything. it's quite surreal, really. it's nice, but still surreal. >> the phelps, like the rest of the cast, say they're sad to leave "harry potter" behind. >> it's very surreal, i think, on the last day to walk out. we had great time. the last day of filming was quite emotional for us. it was kind of bittersweet like

we're aware ta it's coming to the end now and what better way to go out than on the biggest high it has been. >> our work is done. >> find out what happened on the last day on set. >> it was very sad. yeah. we all cried. it was really, really bizarre. >> as daniel radcliffe, emma watson, and rupert grint say good-bye to harry potter. plus, your exclusive look at a scene from "harry potter and the deathly hallows: part 2," all next on the larry king special, "harry potter: the final chapter." ♪ [ mrs. davis ] i want to find a way to break through. to make science as exciting as a video game. i need to reach peter, who's falling behind. and push janet who's 6 chapters ahead. ♪ [ male announcer ] with interactive learning solutions from dell, mrs. davis can make education a little more personal. so every student feels like her only student.

ten years in the making. soon we'll see the last of "harry potter." in just moments, we'll show you an exclusive clip of the final movie, from the beginning, this story of a little boy who didn't know he was special, has touched millions of people around the world. why is it so successful?

>> i think it's due to a lot of things. it's -- we love an underdog. i think the world of j.k. rowling is so meticulously thought out that people, like me, who like to geek out about these things, can get wrapped up in the wizarding lore and world and it's so complete. i think we love that. we love magic, we love the idea of that. and it's a testament to the brilliance of the writing. >> i really loved him when i think people really love and why the stories are so enduring and why they touch so many people is because the characters are so, so real and flawed and beautiful and inspiring and lovable, just completely lovable. >> as actors, crew members and fans prepare themselves for the end of harry potter, a few statistics. in the past ten years, harry's

famous lightning bolt scar has been applied to daniel radcliffe's forehead an estimated 2,000 times. 588 sets have been created. harry has gone through 160 pairs of glasses and some 70 magic wands. but as the final potter film is about to open, all that is now history. what was the last day like? >> very, very emotional. i remember i kind of wept like a child on that last day. >> it was kind of like the last day of school. i remember packing up the dressing room. it was very sad. we all cried. it was really, really bizarre. >> as the cast moves on from "harry potter," they share thoughts of their past and their future. >> it's definitely going to be with me for the rest of my life, really. but, yeah. i'm really just grateful to be a part of that. i've loved every day of it.

>> it's bittersweet. it's really exciting to see what comes next. but it's definitely a big chapter closing. >> and for daniel radcliffe, perhaps a chance for him to share his unusual childhood with his own children. >> do you want family some day? >> oh, god, yes, absolutely. i'm one of the -- it's very strange. i'm one of the broodiest young men i think you'll ever meet. because i spent so much time with adults and i saw them all have kids. >> you want kids? >> god, yes, absolutely. not just now but i want kids and i want lots. >> you need someone else in order to have them. >> i need to get somebody willing first. >> share your life. >> yeah. >> you know, i've got a girlfriend at the moment who i am very much in love with, so, you know, we'll see where that goes. >> as we leave you tonight, here's your first look at a never seen before clip of "harry potter and the deathly hallows:

part 2." >> how did you come by this sword? >> it's complicated. >> what about lestrange think it should be in her vault? >> it's complicated. >> the sword presented itself to us in a moment of need. we didn't steal it. >> there is a sword in madame lestrange's vault identical to this one, but it is a fake. it was placed there this past summer. >> she never suspected it was a fake? >> it's very convincing. anyone would recognize this is the true sword. >> i need to get into one of the vaults. >> it is impossible. >> alone, yes. but with you, no.
