Harry Potter Producers Announce Series of Documentaries

If eight Harry Potter films were just not enough for you, fear not: Producers David Heyman and David Baron have announced a behind-the-scenes Deathly Hallows documentary -- the first of potentially many Potterrific documentaries -- which will give Hogwarts fans the chance to view video evidence suggesting that Daniel Radcliffe has a gambling problem.

OK, a small-scale gambling problem. British filmmaker Morgan Matthews, who shot the Deathly Hallows documentary footage, captured one moment that producer David Baron describes as "really, really funny." As Baron explained to MTV, "Morgan comes in to interview Dan in his dressing room, and Dan says, 'Will you wait one second? I want to watch the 2:50 at Doncaster,' which is a horse race. He says, 'Yeah, I bet on it.' 'How much?' 'Ten quid.' And the horse, of course, comes in way behind the pack."

So there's that. While the Deathly Hallows footage will be packaged in a documentary (that will most likely get its own theatrical release), the fate of the rest of the behind-the-scenes footage -- which dates back to Sorcerer's Stone -- remains unclear.

"It was a very well-documented production," Baron said. "We had a crew filming behind the scenes for the entire production, which is unheard of -- and that's been for all the films. [...] There is material, and we'll see how it's used. I'm sure Warner Bros. will package it in some form or another."

Here's to potentially another decade of seeing Harry Potter on the multiplex marquis.
