AOL Moviefone has new video interviews with Dan, Rupert, Tom, Michael Gambon and David Yates!! View them all here at the site and a few below!

Coming Soon has a new interview with David Yates.

CS: And these are all new sets and locations? Because the first six movies have all been at the same Hogwarts sets just redecorated and dressed differently.
Yates: Yeah, yeah, and this time we’re out on the road and then we come back to Hogwarts, but the difference is we trash it. We blow it up. It turns into Stalingrad, which will be really haunting.

CS: Are you actually going to blow up Leavesden Studios when you’re done there?
Yates: (laughs) I’m not sure they’d be too pleased with us if we did that, but we’ll probably end up blowing up half of Leavesden. I keep saying to the special FX guys (that) these things are going to be big. We have to go out with a bang.

In a new interview with PEP Dan Radcliffe, David Heyman, Michael Gambon and David Yates talk Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

“For me, the Harry Potter films have always been about a loss of innocence,” says Daniel Radcliffe, the actor behind the title character, who can perhaps no longer be called the boy wizard. “When Harry came into this world, it was all just amazing and brilliant and kind of pure. But as the films have gone on, that’s totally disintegrated, and he’s realizing that the wizarding world has just as many, if not more, challenges than the world he grew up in before.”

The Telegraph has a new interview with Half-Blood Prince director, David Yates.

“It’s funny how things change,” he offers. “I felt really self-conscious making this last film. The first time, I didn’t realise how big it was until I got to the premiere and then got to America and saw how massive the release was, and how huge the reaction was. That was when the penny dropped, when I realised that this was such a big thing for so many people.

“Oddly, that meant that when I started this one, I was a little bit warier of everything rather than being more confident. The first time round you just do it; you just go for it. But I have settled in and this one’s quite different from the last one. It’s a little bit more grown up and a bit wittier. It’s a different vibe.”  That vibe requires the main cast to look past the fact that they’ve grown up together (the first film arrived in 2001) and to embrace the changing nature of their relationships (there’s even some on-screen kissing). “I think the cast are getting better and better,” Yates says, “and Emma certainly seems much more confident this time. She really moved on in the last one, but now she’s even more at ease. And Dan, having done Equus, he’s just finding moments and beats that are really surprising and lovely.”

David Yates has written something about directing Harry Potter, has been featured in the August issue of Total Film magazine. The magazine also has some new photos and a feature on things from the book that should have been in the movies, which I posted about a few weeks ago.
