No chance of getting this lot Muggled up: Harry Potter and the less than convincing lookalikes


Hopefully some technical wizardry will mean Harry Potter fans don't notice the difference in the film.
But as these three stand-ins for the young stars appeared on an outside set in the early hours of yesterday, it was hard to imagine getting them muggled, er, muddled up with the real thing.
The dismal doppelgangers were shooting in London's Piccadilly Circus for the two-part series finale, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

Their duties included helping to rehearse and set up shots while the real actors - Daniel Radcliffe, 19, who stars as young wizard Harry Potter, , 19, as Hermione Granger, and Rupert Grint, 20, who plays Ron Weasley - were on breaks.
The cast and crew have spent several days on location in Piccadilly Circus late at night filming what fans will recognise as the 'cafe attack' scene.

 The scene takes place after the trio of friends flee the wedding of Ron's older brother Bill Weasley to Fleur Delacourt after finding out that Rufus Scrimgeour is dead and the Ministry of Magic is now under Voldemort's control.
They manage to fight off an attack from the two villains, but continue to flee to Harry's London hideout 12 Grimmauld Place.

Near miss: They manage to jump back on to the kerb just in time
The three heroes narrowly miss getting run over by a double decker bus as they dash across the busy road.
With the boys dressed in suits and Hermione in a stunning red dress, the pair arrive at a Muggle cafe, where they believe they are safe until they spot two Death Eaters.
The scene in the book originally takes place in Tottenham Court Road, but producers may have relocated it to Piccadilly Circus to give it a more scenic backdrop.
In between takes, the three young actors were spotted yawning and sipping on coffee in a bid to stay awake during the late night shoot.
Tiring: The young cast have been putting in long days filming the movie for the last two months

The Deathly Hallows, JK Rowling's last book in her best-selling series, will be split into two parts for the big-screen adaptation.

The cast and crew started filming the first part in February.
Part I is due for release in 2010, with Part II out in 2011. The prequel, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, will be released in the UK on 15 July.
It was originally scheduled for release last November, but was delayed so Warner Bros studio had a guaranteed 'major summer blockbuster' after the Hollywood writers' strike delayed a lot of movies.
