Designing the Terrifying Dementors

The Dementors scene was the moment where I first sort of went, this film is going to be really, really scary. When David talked me through the ideas for the scene, I thought, wow, this is really, really brilliant. In the book, it's in an alley. And it was David Yates' idea to set it in this underpass. So it was brilliant, you know, this confined, scary, and yet very real place.

An underpass is kind of cold and creepy. This is where bad things happen. It felt like a natural fit to introduce the Dementors into that arena. Juxtapose that with these terrifying creatures, made them all the more frightening somehow. Hi.

Hagrid? What exactly are these things? They're goblins, Harry. Clever as they come goblins, but not the most friendly of beasts. The goblin world doesn't like to really associate with the wizarding world, particularly. Goblins will take whichever side feels best. They're happy to kind of hold the wizard's money, but I don't think they want to get involved.

The goblins have elements of greed. They are fairly vicious at times, sort of menacing kind of quality, somebody you wouldn't trust. When we did The Goblins for the first time, David Heyman, from the very beginning, you know, said to me, this is not a fantasy film. These goblins have got to feel totally real. They've got to feel like real people in their own environment. You know, they're very stylized, but they do fit the flavor of the first movie.
