Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II both walked away with awards at tonight’s National Movie Awards.  Part I won for Best Fantasy Film and Part II won Must See Movie Of The Summer. Bonnie Wright, Jamie Campbell Bower and David Heyman were in attendance. Jamie also won the ‘One to Watch’ award.

Producer David Heyman thanked JK Rowling for making this year’s award possible. He said: “I know we are not quite the two boys and a girl you wanted but a big thank you to all. On behalf on David Yates (director) who can’t be here and our entire crew a big thank you to JK Rowling, we wouldn’t be here without her and of course to you the public.”

Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley in the movies, added: “We made the films for you. Thank you, guys.” The final Harry Potter film Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is due for release this summer and won the Must See Movie of the Summer Award. Bonnie said: “I’m probably as excited as everyone else to watch this movie. It’s really going to hit us being the end of the end, and I think when the credits roll it’s going to be emotional for all of us. Thank you for staying with us for the last 10 years.”

In a new interview with Instyle.co.uk Harry Potter stars discussed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. Bonnie Wright, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis and Evanna Lynch talk about the final film and its effect on their lives.

Marie Claire has posted a new interview with Bonnie Wright where she discusses the Harry Potter films, fashion and more.

Can you give us any hints about the last film?
So many questions are answered and so many sad and happy things happen. There are a lot of deaths that will be unfortunate. But it’s, I guess for us and for the audience, it’s not only a climax to the film, it’s the climax of all 10 years of these movies. I think we’re all hoping that everyone will be on he edge of their seats. The moral of the whole thing is will good finally be able to trump over evil? So I think it is quite satisfying.

You also played a 35-year-old version of Ginny in the last movie. Was that odd?
It’s really strange because when you get on, you’re looking at yourself in the mirror and it’s you but it’s not you. It was really weird when my parents came on set when I was doing that. They were like, “This is really weird.” I had these thin prosthetics under my eyes to make them baggier and I had a short hair wig.

How has your style evolved in that time?
I think when I was quite younger, I was always quite a tomboy. And when I was a tomboy, my mom always used to be like, “Come on, let’s just put you in a dress, just this once!” And I’d be like, “No, it’s my body and I’ll wear what I want!” So I guess that phrase of mine has kept with me. I’ve never had a stylist and I’ve always chosen my own clothes.

So how would you describe your fashion sensibilities right now?
I feel dressy and I decide to dress up, and other times I’m just wearing medium casual. I like things that make me feel ready for the day. Cuts of clothes and shapes of clothes are really important. When I put something on, and I stand up much straighter that’s when I love to wear clothes.

 

In a new interview with Marie Claire, the Harry Potter actors discuss funny and most memorable moments on the set of the films! They talked to Bonnie Wright, Tom Felton, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps and Evanna Lynch.

Scholastic have emailed to let us know that they interviewed some of the Harry Potter cast for their blog, Ink Splot 16, where they talk about the films. Some snippets may be read below and the full interviews are here.

Q: What were your thoughts when you read the 7th book, like was there any scene where you thought, “I have to film this. . .”
Mark Williams: It wasn’t very nice for me having to deal with the death of Fred. And I think both of us found that a bit tricky ’cause we spent quite a lot of time in and around that area for about two days, and that was a bit unpleasant.
Oliver: Yeah, it was.
Mark: You just got to lie there! Didn’t you go to sleep?
Oliver: Yeah, I was so in character. . . It was quite strange to read it. And then when we came to film that sequence in Part 1 when George gets his ear lopped off and everything that was really cool because I had never even had a scratch filming the films.
Domhnall Gleeson: I didn’t know I was going to be in the movie, so the first thing I did was call my dad [who plays Mad-Eye Moody] and said, “Dad, you’re dead by page 20.”
David Heyman: But it was sort of an amazing thing that we were making the movies concurrently with the books. Hogwarts, for example, has changed over the course of the films as we discovered what we had to do. We were making the films and we didn’t know what was happening. On the 5th film, the 7th [book] wasn’t already out. When we were developing the script, we’d left Kreacher out. And we sent the script to Jo [Rowling], because Jo reads all the scripts, and she called me and said, “You know David, you might want to put him back in. He’s got a role to play later on.”

Q: How was your first day on set?
Michael Gambon: I was just petrified when I came in to take over [after the original Dumbledore, Richard Harris, died]. . .But you just fight your way through it and be brave for a week until you settle in.
Domhnall: I nearly wet myself. I didn’t, but. . .I was really, really nervous. But it was really lovely. Everybody was incredibly welcoming. And you can tell the new guy on set, well, if it’s me, ’cause he’s got a wand in the corner going like, “Pew!” doing the sound effects. . .It was amazing though.
James: I can remember our first day. We learned that’s it’s not all shot in order, so our first scene was the last scene of the first movie. But I can remember being more nervous than I have ever been and probably ever will be. And we were in this little place called Goethland, in the middle of Yorkshire, like on Sunday morning, the sheep walk down the middle of the street kind of thing. I can just remember being like, nervous.
Bonnie: I remember starting on platform nine and three quarters, in the first film, and it was freezing winter. And I remember actually being the age of nine and three quarters on platform nine and three quarters. And I remember being absolutely freezing from nerves and clutching hot water bottles between every take. And I just didn’t know what any word meant. You know, “action, cut and rolling and speed,” all those words. . .I was just like, “What is going on?” I was so confused. In the film you have yet to see, we jump forward in time and we have Lily Potter, [Harry and Ginny’s daughter], and she was the same age as me when I started and we were on platform nine and three quarters, so it was very surreal going around in that whole cycle, that I started at that age and she started at that age, yet I was playing her mother. It was very bizarre.
