The Shriek Shack film set in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
















This film set really depicts decay and abandoned space really effectively. Gregors room is going to have a abandoned kind of feel to it. In a meeting today I saw the plans for the layout and shape of the rooms. The walls of Gregors room are going to be slanted and one side of the room will be small and cramped to reflect his feelings of claustrophobia. I have pulled these images up because in the set build for the shrieking shack scene in Harry Potter 3 the walls of the set actually moved. This created a great feeling of terror and uncertainty as if the set itself was another character. I know this wouldn't show up in a photograph but as a piece of film the part in the third Potter film really is effective and creates the right mood to go with the scene they filmed within its animated walls.

  1. A very interesting reference for the room set - the decay in this image is palpable and spectacular.
