A couple more new videos from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II DVD have been released. The first comes from Marie Claire UK and shows a clip from The Women of Harry Potter feature where Bonnie Wright and J.K. Rowling talk about McGonagall.
The second is another clip from Harry Potter: The Quest; it goes behind the scenes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts I and II. In this video Warwick Davis takes us on a tour through Leavesden Studios.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part IIcomes out on DVD on November 11th and may be pre-ordered at the following links:
Here is the first of 2 videos from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II premiere at Trafalgar Square in London on July 7th. In this video you will see Natalia Tena (Tonks), David Heyman (Producer), Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas) and Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan), Jim Broadbent (Horace Slughorn), Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) and Ciaran Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore). The second set of interviews will be online soon (I’m just waiting to be sent our Rupert footage) as well as tons of amazing photographs!
This footage is courtesy of jkrfan.com because my microphone decided to not work for the last half of the premiere.
Alfred Enoch, who played Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter films was recently in a play called The Seagull at the Oxford Playhouse. The play ran from . There is also a new interview with the star where he briefly mentions the Potter series, the play and why he is getting a degree.
“It was the most regular instalment in my life and one that I was very comfortable with because in that time you get to know everyone,” Alfie, now 22, says. “It was an amazing experience and a very fortuitous one.” Fortuitous? Why? “Well, because I didn’t go to the auditions. I remember thinking ‘why would they want me in their multi-million-pound movie?’ “But I was on The Globe youth tour for a season and someone saw me in that, asked me to audition, and I got the part.” he beams.
“So if I’ve learned anything from the experience, it’s that it IS best to go for auditions.”
So when Alfie heard Oxford University students were putting on The Seagull at The Playhouse he jumped at the chance. And taking on the part of Trigorin in the Chekhov play during his final year hasn’t fazed Alfie. “I’m looking forward to bringing the character to life,” he tells me. “It’s such a challenge because theatre needs to be a two-way street. It shouldn’t just be a passive experience for the audience, so I want to challenge them, not bludgeon them with information.”
And yet people still ask Alfie why he’s bothering with a degree. “I don’t see why not. It seemed natural to carry on with my education and I have really enjoyed it, even if at times it’s been challenging to fit it in with all the filming. It was more about finding the right balance and about time management than anything else.”
So what next? More acting? “I do feel the need,” he grins. “I just love going out on stage. I feel immediately comfortable out there. And this is what I want to do. So what could be more useful than taking on the enormous challenge of playing Trigorin in The Seagull? It will be an invaluable experience.”

It’s a little late to be posting this, but I figured everyone would be interested anyway.
