Videos of JKR and Tom Felton presenting awards at the British Comedy Awards are now online and can be viewed below courtesy of Feltbeats and SS!

Tom Felton, Jessie Cave, Bonnie Wright, Dave Legeno, and James and Oliver Phelps were interviewed by Canada’s The Magazine last month and scans from the magazine are now online. According to SS:

Jessie noted that she will take part in some of the battle sequences for the final film, and that she hasn’t gotten the chance to meet J.K. Rowling yet; Tom and Bonnie confirmed that they will attend the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter next May; James and Oliver joked about having nicked a few sweets from the Weasleys’ joke shop, and an incident during customs involving a Puking Pastille; and Dave commented on a little fear he has in common with costar Rupert Grint.

Thanks to DanRadcliffe.com we have the full two-and-a-half-hour audio of the BD Live chat with Dan Radcliffe and David Barron, downloaded here (mirror here).

Also, Warner Bros has announced that the BD-Live screening will be shown on BD-Live’s site in a few weeks, I will post when it’s available.

In a bunch of new interviews (one, two, three), David Heyman, David Barron, director David Yates, and actors Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, and Jessie Cave talk about the Harry Potter Films.

“Ultimately, what makes these books work, what I love about the books, is that for all the spectacle, for all the adventure, (there are) the characters.” Part I will be “the road movie” with the young stars on the run, Heyman says. The final battle comes in Part II. “And what we are trying to do in this final battle, as much as we can, is root it in characters! For me, it’s really all about the characters and it’s about the people who are battling and, if you’re invested in that, that is what will make it work!”

Heyman has predictions about co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson:  “Dan will continue acting and maybe directing. I think he’s interested in that.  Rupert will continue acting. Rupert is one of the most original people you will ever meet, really lovely. He’s a one-off. And I think Rupert is a really talented actor with great comic timing.  Emma, if she wants, can be a movie star. She is hugely talented and incredibly in touch with her imagination. She is fiercely intelligent and I think she could do whatever she chooses to do.”

Thanks SS!

The Times newspaper has a new article listing the “Top 50 People of the Decade.”

J.K. ROWLING Author and philanthropist

Although the Boy Wizard first appeared in the late Nineties, it was in the Noughties that J.K. Rowling became a Muggle of international renown, when the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was released as a film in 2001. By the time the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, appeared, Rowling had sold 400 million books in 67 languages. Child readers became teenagers along with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

An unwitting populariser of witchcraft and boarding schools, Rowling agreed to her publisher’s request to use initials of indeterminate sex so the name “Joanne” would not put off boy fans, and she controlled her burgeoning £4 billion franchise with an iron hand. She oversaw the film scripts, insisted on a British cast and tearfully defended herself in court when another author threatened to publish a Potter “Lexicon”. Rowling has successfully stayed out of the public eye by never courting personal publicity, and has two children with her second husband. The Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling’s personal fortune at £560 million, ranking her as the 12th richest woman in Britain. She gives £5 million a year to her charity, which supports many causes including one-parent families, which she herself was when she wrote the first Potter in an Edinburgh café with her baby at her side.
