Cinematography news about the remaining Harry Potter films

Came across this article and while a lot of it is stuff I’ve already heard before, there’s some nice quotes :)
As usual I’m excited for any Draco tidbits (even though they don’t really reveal anymore than I already know), but the one revelation for me was this:

The film?s visuals also play their part in establishing eeriness. ?The choice of angles, the extreme close-ups, the pacing of the scenes,? recites Heyman, going on to laud director of photography Bruno Delbonnel, the French lenser responsible for Amelie?s lavish palette.

Half-Blood Prince goes for an equally heightened look, U-turning from the stark, dark timbre of Phoenix. ?It?s very layered, incredibly rich,?
says Yates, before revealing that number seven ? Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows ? will be more naturalistic ?with loads of hand-held cameras?.

I mean ok - I’m already totally sold on Half-Blood Prince’s cinematography just from watching the promos and stills, so that part isn’t new, but hand-held cameras for Deathly Hallows? That is bloody awesome *grin*
