Andrew Ackland-Snow, the art director of the last leg of final installation of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, has suggested a change in the main story. Snow wanted to give the character of Snape, a more dramatic place to die. He did not want the infamous Hogwarts professor to breathe his last in Shrieking Shack, as he was supposed to according to the book.
Snow has reportedly said that they wanted the place to be changed. They have asked for permission from the writer of the book series, J. K. Rowling, about the change. They have made a crystal house and everything that happens in the boathouse can be seen from there. Even when the school of the wizards, Hogwarts, will be in flames, it will be visible. According to Snow, Rowling loved this idea. Their idea is a more romantic one as Snow points out and he said that they are giving Snape an extremely good way to die.
This change is not being considered as a drastic one. The death in the crystal house will be more symbolic with Harry delving into the silvery crystal memory of Snape to know the truth and everything becomes crystal clear to Harry. There will be no change in the plot of the story because of this.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II was shot just after the first part of the film. The second part is scheduled to hit theaters on July 15, 2011.
