Trivia
The majority, if not all, of the cast and crew are residents of France and are native French speakers, despite the movie being set in London, England and being entirely in English.

Maxence Danet-Fauvel, who portrays Voldemort in the film, did not speak English prior to being cast in the film. He had been sent the script and had to learn all of his lines phonetically, working alongside voice coaches on set in order to recite his lines and go from his native French accent to a British one.

Quotes
Auror: Open fire!
Lord Voldemort: Avada Kedavra!

I want 2 hours version of this

It's short, for me to short. I would like to see full blown story with this cast, cause they were marvelous (for this short screen time they've got). I fell in love with actress playing Merope, she is so magnetic here, even without having any line on script. My beloved Maxence in Lord Voldemort role.

There is some changes in the script that were different from the book, but we can't actually require it to be 100% accurate. They had their own vision and 0% of chances on Warner Bros budget, so localizations is few but scenography is WOW, as well as special effects, which looks really good.
