Hello everyone, i recently saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, and I am looking into tracking down the radio that Ron Weasley uses in the film (pics below).
Now, in the past Harry Potter films have been known to old vitage or antique things that you could technically buy in order to fit in with their magical world. So i thought that perhaps this radio might be a little older than a few years. Lol.
Now, here are my ONLY forms of reference on this radio:
Here's the best reference i could find, and it's the BACK of the radio:
Now this is an interesting find, this is a picture of a deleted scene from the film in which Ron has to go tell his dad supper is ready (not shown in the final cut of the film) and apparently Ron goes into the shed to find his dad tinkering with Muggle Artifacts again, and i've highlighted and pointed to a particularly interesting item...a radio. now i dont know if it's the SAME radio as ron and the trio carry throughout the film, but wouldn't it be interesting if in this deleted scene Ron takes the Radio? Hmmmm. But as i said it's unclear if it's the same radio or not, it looks like it COUDL be roughly the same size and shape, something tells me it's not the same one because it does look a tad too big but there are some small details that match up, notice that both this radio and the one we know for SURE is the one ron is carrying around, both have legs, it doesn't sit directly on it's bottom, it has short little legs slightly elevating it, and if you look at the first reference pic, the bumps near the front of the radio, almost mirror where the station tuner indicator thing is and where the speakers separations are, just a thought.
These two images, givve a better look at it's size when holding it, as well as the lights on the top:
but other than these four images, we have nothing else available until the blu-ray of the movie comes out. not a brand name, nowehere to start except these pictures. All i can tell you is this:
-It's most likely a European or British Radio, as the film was put together in England
-I do NOT know the brand name
-It lights up in two blue "tubes" on the top, and there are NO buttons, switches, or knobs on the top of the radio.
-It has a carrying handle that attaches onto the SIDES, rather han the top
-It also has four very short legs that evilate it slightly off the ground.
-I did say that it could be antique but the lights on the top are making me think it might be slightly more modern than i think it is...perhaps 70s, 80s or even 90s
So if anyone has any idea at all about where i could start looking or what possible radio it could be please lemme know
