Shirley Henderson (Moaning Myrtle) has given an interview to Scottish television network, STV, and you can view the interview here! On not being in Deathly Hallows:

Revealing some of the Harry Potter magic, she said: “When the camera is on the other characters, I was really in the swimming pool and really swimming towards Harry and doing all the voice but when the camera is turned on me, nobody is there. I am just by myself in a big green empty warehouse so I have got to imagine and remember what Harry did.

“I found it very difficult to begin with. I am up in the sky so I am strapped to a bicycle seat with my legs clamped down tight so I don’t fall off it and swivelling through the air and trying to hit marks and imagine how Harry would be reacting.”

Despite appearing a little in future books, Shirley’s character will not feature in later films, a part she says she will miss playing.

She said: “I think they just have to make that decision about who is going to be there and who’s not. And it is very much about the love interest now and a little bit more serious, less silly characters like me. I miss it, I loved doing it.”
