Stuart Craig, the fantastic Harry Potter film set designer, gave a new interview to Architectural Digest and revealed lots of great concept art for Deathly Hallows – Part 2!
Craig explains various sets and how he designed them the way he did. This is what he had to say about work on Gringotts:
In search of one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit Gringotts Wizarding Bank on Diagon Alley. Craig and his team designed the bank to reflect wealth and grandeur. “Banks are traditionally symbols of stability,” he explains. “I know that recent history undid all this, but that is the intention in bank architecture—to convey this feeling of reassurance, of stabililty, of solidity. So our banking hall, like any other, is made of marble and big marble columns. And it has great strength.”
