Even thoughRupert Grintexplained that their working hours varied from mostly 9 hours and five days a week, it wasn’t the case for most of the filming ofDeathly Hallowsparts 1 and 2. Considering the substantial amount of content they were dealing with, the actors often worked crazy hours from sometimes 4 in the morning and were involved in several night shoots.
However,Emma Watsonand Rupert Grint felt that the exhausting process helped with their performances, considering they were meant to be exhausted at this point in the story. Grint explained,

Considering they were shooting in the cold weather of Scotland, being wet for some of her scenes didn’t help, as theNoahstar revealed that she once broke down into tears because of the overwhelming process. She explained,
“There were days when I was in tears to David (Yates, director). Cause more than anything being cold and wet all the time just takes so much energy out of you, it’s so draining. And trying to give a good performance when you just are miserable, and want to go to sleep.”
