Lafayette Louisiana’s Connection To ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Nola.com did some researching on the new 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2'. They recognized a connection between the film and Lafayette! Warner Bros. enlisted nearly two dozen different effects firms to work on the new Harry Potter movie. One of them happened to be in Lafayette!

"Pixel Magic, a Los Angeles-based company with a branch in Lafayette.
It was that Lafayette office that apparently helped with the 3-D effects on the film.
According to documents filed by the production, about $800,000 was spent in Louisiana on the film. That amount qualifies for state filmmaking tax incentives, and it resulted in the prominent display of the "Louisiana Entertainment" logo near the end of the film's closing credits.
Louisiana Entertainment is the name of the umbrella state agency that oversees the tax-incentives programs for film, TV, music, interactive media and live performance.
"We are always proud to see the work being performed in our state come to fruition on the screen," Louisiana Entertainment interim executive director Chis Stelly said. "This production is another testament to the expertise and talent available in Louisiana, demonstrated by Louisiana companies employing Louisiana residents."
