In an interview with Reuters Daniel Radcliffe talks about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and 2. He mentions the infamous quote where he says Emma was an animal in the locket scene and how things you say come back at you really fast during promotional tours:
Q: So, to get this one out of the way, you were quoted as saying recently that (co-star) Emma Watson was “a bit of an animal” in your kissing scene together. What did she have to say about that?
A: “When you’re in this period of time when you do an interview and it’s aired the next day, your quotes come back at you so quickly. On (TV show) Daybreak the other day … Kate Garraway was interviewing me … and she said ‘Oh the kiss with Emma in this film, she’s a bit of an animal, isn’t she?’ and I said ‘yes’, and then it was like I’d said it. Emma hit me on the arm as soon as we came off the red carpet (at the film premiere) and said ‘What have you been saying to people about me?’.”
Q: Some people found the sixth Harry Potter film (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) a little confusing, and Harry Potter 7 (Deathly Hallows Part 1) more straightforward. Would you agree?
A: “I loved five, but six is a hard film to make. Even though I think it’s the most beautiful of all the films so far, it’s also a really hard film to make because it is basically just a colossal amount of exposition that sets up number seven. It is a tougher one to make accessible to everybody who hasn’t read the books, because you are just cramming in a huge amount of information.”
Q: Deathly Hallows Part 1 also seems slower-paced than some other Potter movies.
“In (Harry Potter) seven … people keep talking about ‘Oh it’s an action movie’ (but) … this is so sedate compared to what the next one is going to be like. The next film, because you’ve had all the plot set up already, you can just kind of enjoy the insanity of all the action.”
Q: Rupert Grint (who plays Harry’s friend Ron in the films) just described the final Potter film (to be released in July, 2011) as a war movie. Would you go that far?
A: “They’ve all stolen my line! My pitch (for Deathly Hallows 1 and 2) was that it’s a road movie that turns into a heist movie that turns into a war film. I was saying it to Rupert and Emma (Watson) the other day. Damn it!”
“The last movie is going to be really, really fast-paced and a load of action in it and it is like a war film. If we had done this book in one film, the stuff that would have got cut is most of this film. For me that is the most interesting part of the story, because it’s where the characters develop and change.

In a new interview with Hero Complex Helena Bonham Carter discusses Bellatrix and the Harry Potter series.
“There’s nothing like it [Potter filming], it’s been a nice tribe,” Bonham Carter said. “I love going back year after year. It’s refreshing. A lot of times in this business, it’s so transitory — it’s just 10 weeks here or there on a movie and then it’s over – but to see the same people over all that time, a decade, makes you feel really safe and secure. It was fantastically well-organized, the [assistant directors] are simply unbelievable, the best. The communication has always been seamless. It’s been a way for me to have work I can count on; I knew I was going to be working but the [screen time for the] role was limited and that was perfect, anything more than part-time takes away such a chunk of time and space and focus. It has been perfect for me, and I will miss it.”
“Bellatrix has really good fun, and she’s been a bit of surprise to me, in fact,” Bohnam Carter said. “It wasn’t really there on the page. When I took it on, I found there wasn’t a huge amount to go by in the script, and I read the book and she wasn’t necessarily on the page there either, so I did ask [four-time “Potter” film director] David Yates if I could bring a bit of other things or are these the Bibles? And he said yes, certainly, and apparently J.K. Rowling was very pleased with it when she saw it, and the childish dimension and the fact that she’s totally savage, that was a bit of departure.”
There’s often nervous laughter when Bellatrix is on screen, and for the actress, that’s the sound of success. ”I just felt she had to make an impression because there wasn’t much time in which to do so. And she had to be terrifying. She needed to be somebody you didn’t know what to feel towards. One moment she’s horribly revolting but then also weirdly sexy, maybe, or just disturbing to the mind when you watch her. There’s a lot of decaying, too, with the bad teeth. She’s been in prison for so long. The mad hair. She’s someone who has seen better times but still carries herself with the memory of what she was. She’s almost like someone who’s had too many surgeries and thinks they’re beautiful but in fact has gone the way wrong. There’s a lot of people like that now. For some reason, I can’t live with the joke that now you can either be old or you can be creepy. That’s the choice. Sad, isn’t it?”
