DailyRecord has posted an interview with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint where they discuss a myriad of things.  There is also a new banner poster of Harry as well as a new version of the trio running in the forest poster that may be seen here and here!  Some snippets from the interviews are below.

He was especially impressed by the sequence when a potion turns a bunch of schoolmates into doubles of Harry so that there are seven Harry Potters on camera. He said: “That scene is going to be pretty fantastic. Obviously people will realise that it’s a visual effect but normally when you have one person talking to another version of himself it is pretty obvious how it has been done. In this scene though it’s great – arms are overlapping and it looks fantastic. We did 96 takes for this one shot. We had to do each shot seven different times with all the Harrys standing in different places. That is the first really cool bit of magic in the first part of the film. It was so well thought out and well done.”

Daniel knows that for devoted fans it will be agony to wait for the second part of The Deathly Hallows and that they might actually have preferred to see the two parts in one epic Harry Potter marathon movie. He said: “I know that the dedicated fans would gladly sit through a six-hour Harry Potter film but not everybody possesses the same passion that they do.”

Although he is a star of one of the world’s most successful film franchises, Rupert admits he is still over-awed by the famous faces who appear in the Potter movies. He said: “They do all have quite a presence. When we started I got very excited at working with stars like Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane. I used to ask for autographs at the first opportunity – I think it was at the first read-through.” Rupert reckons he wasn’t in the best shape for the action in The Deathly Hallows. “There is a lot more running than I’m used to.” “I quite like the stunts but I don’t do any kind of exercise at all so it hit me quite hard. “Everyone wants this film to be the best one ever.”

The 20-year-old is studying in the US at prestigious Brown University in Rhode Island and has settled into academic life. She said: “It’s hard to choose one thing that I like most about university. I guess I just enjoy the simplicity of my life. I am sharing a tiny room with another girl and I only have space for three or four pairs of jeans and a couple of tops. My life has been compressed but it’s nice.” Her student schedule in the States is a world apart from the red carpet glamour of being a film star. She said: “I live in a bubble. I don’t read newspapers and I don’t watch TV.” Emma is also pleased that she has been accepted by the other students. She said: “I was amazed how quickly everyone on campus got over that I was from Harry Potter. I’m going to be there for four years so they’ve realised that they are going to see me most days and have just got used to me.”

Thanks SS!
