Thanks to Empire we have two new clips from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. One video shows a behind the scenes look at the making of The Tale of the Three Brothers animation and also a look at the chase scene in the forest.

NYLON has posted a new interview with actress Bonnie Wright where she talks about Harry Potter, and more specifically Part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! She also discusses Daniel Radcliffe, her parent’s jewelry store (Wright and Teague), fashion and more. Some snippets may be read below:

Did you and the rest of the cast get the books before everyone else? Unfortunately not!  Actually, the most grating thing I’ve ever seen in a movie is in The Devil Wears Prada, when those two little kids get the Harry Potter books ahead of time.  I was like, “Are you kidding?  That would never, ever, ever happen!”  [JK Rowling] is so guarded, and she always wants everything to be released at the exact same time.  Even the international translators would only get the books when they were already on sale, so nothing leaked out.  Everybody – I mean everybody, Dan, Emma, everyone – had to wait just like you.

When you got the books, would you skip ahead to try and find the Ginny Weasley scenes? I remember doing that sometimes, but then it would kind of ruin the story, so I ended up just reading as I’d read any book normally.  But I remember, you know, so many people would call me or text me the day the books came out.  They’d go, “Oh my god, Bonnie, have you read page two-hundred-and-whatever?” And I’m like, “No! Stop! Don’t tell me anything!”  That was torture!

But I can’t wait for the part in the last film where your mother yells at Bellatrix, “Get away from my daughter, you bitch!” Oh that whole scene is going to be sogood.  In fact, what’s so great about the last film is that all the good guys bring up their game.  They’re like, “Actually, we’ll really fight now; we’re not afraid to cause damage.”   It’s so much fun, and the best part is, we get to destroy Hogwarts!

Cue the crying children. I guess people could think that’s sad, but for a lot of us, it was strangely cathartic.  Like, “This has been amazing, now let’s blow it up.”  It’s kind of like when you build a sand castle and you break it down.

Last night I was one of the fan sites invited to cover the Grand Opening of Harry Potter: The Exhibit and the release of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 DVD. We were able to stand on the red carpet and take photos of the actors in attendence. Sadly my photos didn’t come out too great, but there are some pretty great gems. So head over to the gallery to check out all 120+ images! There are also some better quality photos at the end courtesy of zimbio.

The stars in attendance were Evanna Lynch, Natalia Tena, David Thewlis, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Freddie Stroma, Bonnie Wright, Clemence Poesy, Domhnall Gleeson, Warwick Davis, Helen McCrory, Mark Williams, Michael Gambon and Robbie Coltrane!

Today we have 2 new videos from Deathly Hallows: Part 1.  The first is a deleted scene with Ron and Mr Weasley. The second is a behind the scenes look at the scene between Scabior and Hermione in the forest from Maximum Movie Mode on the DVD.

Today the Apple store in SoHo had a cast Q&A session with members of the Harry Potter cast. David Barron, David Heyman, Michael Gambon, Warwick Davis, Robbie Coltrane, Helen McCrory, David Thewlis, Natalia Tena, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Freddie Stroma and the Phelps twins were in attendance. I was at the event on behalf of the website but no flash photography or recording of the event were permitted so to hear all of the answers you will have to wait for Apple to release the vide, which should be later tonight. I did try to take some photos but they didn’t come out. Here is a small preview though.

The cast were asked what their favorite scene was, whether they filmed it or they just enjoyed it. Their answers are as follows (is is not exact wording, I was feverishly writing so I would remember what they said)

Michael Gambon – his scenes in the Great Hall making speeches
David Heyman – Less actiony scenes such as Harry flying Buckbeak, Harry and Hermione dancing in DH, and when the Gryffindor boys ate the animal candies
David Barron – the “no post on Sundays” scene from SS
Robbie Coltrane – Norbert hatching and subsequently catching his beard on fire
Warwick Davis – the Tale of the Three Brothers animation as well as his stage dive in GoF
Helen McCrory – Harry confronting Voldemort in Part 2
David Thewlis – Aunt Marge being blown up and turning into a werewolf
Natalia Tena – the Tale of the Three Brothers animation and flying on broomsticks
Bonnie Wright – filming in the Chamber of Secrets because it was a turning point for Ginny and the Epilogue
Oliver Phelps – Giving Harry the Mauraders Map and the twins fight in GoF
James Phelps – the joke shop scenes in HBP
Evanna Lynch – the Weasley wedding because it showed that wizards are normal, the people dancing in the background specifically
Freddie Stroma – Quidditch scenes; they just threw balls at him and he had to hit them away which made for some interesting moments; smashing a light, hitting a fan, and hitting a person

I will post the link to the video when it is available for download
