Editor 's note : This article contains possible spoilers for the Olympic opening ceremony . ( EW.com ) -- The opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games has been shrouded in mystery , with director Danny Boyle keen to keep any details of the $ 42 million spectacle under wraps . However despite acknowledging that the Internet and social media make it too tempting for people to keep a secret and that spoilers are now part of `` the modern world , '' Boyle graciously invited 60,000 fans to witness a rehearsal of the ceremony at the Olympic Stadium in London , days before the actual event , asking them to not tweet photos and suggesting the hashtag # savethesurprise . Despite many of the clearly wowed audience sticking to the director 's wishes , details have since emerged , so what exactly do we know ? Or what do we think we know ? Way back in April it was rumored that Daniel Craig had filmed a segment as James Bond at Buckingham Palace with Boyle . This segment purportedly ends with Bond parachuting into the Olympic Stadium and kicking things off in style . We 're betting the parachute bear a Union Jack , echoing the opening of `` The Spy Who Loved Me . '' OLYMPICS 2012 : Get the latest news , photos , and more . The theme of the entire event is 'Isles of Wonder ' and rumors of cottages , green fields with cricket matches and free roaming sheep present a chocolate-box ideal of the U.K. , something more akin to the Shire . With Boyle at the helm , director of `` Trainspotting , '' `` 28 Days Later , '' `` Slumdog Millionaire , '' and the recent stage adaption of `` Frankenstein , '' we ca n't expect the events to be all sweetness and light . Aerial photographs have shown dark smoke stacks and The Huffington Post reports `` There will be vignettes drawing on British history -- Boyle 's people-power version of it -- including Depression-era jobless protesters and nurses performing a tribute to the National Health Service . '' One part of the stadium is even set up to look like the Empire Windrush -- a ship that brought migrants from the Caribbean to the U.K. in the 1940s . Perhaps the most intriguing prediction comes from British newspaper The Sunday Times . Bordering on the so-crazy-it-just-might-work , the paper reports that a 40-foot Voldemort is set to do battle with an army of Mary Poppins ' . Yes , you read that correctly . After a dance routine where approximately 100 kids dance on hospital beds , and representations of famous children 's book characters join them , Voldemort pops out of a giant bed , surrounded by flying Dementors terrorizing the youngsters . This is where the 30 or so Mary Poppins ' will float into the stadium to do battle with He Who Must Not Be Named . The final act will feature a host of musicians , culminating in a performance of 'Hey Jude ' by none other than He Who Must Not Be Silenced , Paul McCartney . See the full article at EW.com .
