Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
« on: November 21, 2010 »
I didn't think I could pass on the fact that the new Harry Potter movie has a suprising amount of camping and backwoods scenes.
It would be fair to say Ron can't put up a tent and Hermiones fire laying was complete pants  :o  ::)  :P

yes loved the tardis tent, and wouldn't hermione's handbag be great for backpacking, yeah i'd look a bit silly with a handbag, but it'd be worth it  ;D

film wasn't bag either, very close to the book, but i wonder how much people would enjoy it not having read the books, me thinks they'd be a bit confused  ???

Tell you what, there were some prime bivvy locations in that film!  There was one particular scene on the edge of a cliff face that just had a ledge of green grass down from the summit... would love to know where that was!

If I was a wizard I think I would have opted for a sil-nylon or cuben fibre tent rather than canvas though :D

I know its a magic tent and all that, but the way those guy ropes cross over, shouldn't it fall down  ???

probably held up by the bunk beds inside  ;D

Hmmm... not much experience with that type of tent!  Kat could probably tell us better, looks like the type the Girl Guides use alot (minus the bunk beds inside etc.) ;)

It does look like it has a solid ridge line, so perhaps by pulling the two poles in towards each other it keeps the ridge line taut.  Can't believe we are discussing a tent in a HP film though..!

I've stayed in a tent like that a few times (not a magic one - isn't it great how you have to keep qualifying that?).  The most annoying thing was the way they close up and the ends.  They just have a series of cord loops that zig-zag down the side drawing the two sides together through eyelets and looping into each other.  The wind just howls through the ends and it's a bit tricky to get out for a pee in the middle of the night.  Easier to dive under the side since there was no sewn in ground sheet.  They were called Icelandics back then but I only ever got to use them in Gosford Forest Park!

Same sort of tent that I had when I was in scouts. heavy when wet and the poles are a weapon in them selfs.

I remember the old icelandics! Awesome tents. we had big green ones in the scouts and they slept about fifteen people! Pretty sure I learnt never to cross the guy lines (or was that streams?) from another film!

Filming locations are listed here, could it have been in Yorkshire?
