Daniel Radcliffe, who played Potter in all the installments, admitted to CNN that he "wept like a child" when the filming of the final film was wrapped.
"I've had such an amazing time on Potter. It's been such an extraordinary experience to work with, essentially, the same group of people for 10 years," the 21-year-old actor said. "You develop such close bonds with so many people."
