Cinema Today is reporting that Rupert Grint and Bonnie Wright will be visiting Japan on November 17 to promote Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.  Rupert has been confirmed as attending, Evanna Lynch may be attending, and Bonnie will be going but not staying for any further events (thanks to SS for this bit of information and the translation below).

In regards to Japan, Rupert says, “I love Japan, the last time I went was after the third movie, but I really became fascinated by the country. It was very different from any other country and the fans were very, very enthusiastic (laughs),” he explains as being his impression of Japan. Also, “Last time [I was in Japan], the trip was very short, so this time I would like to be able to stay a little longer,” he says as he looks forward to coming to Japan. Finally, he sends a message to the fans, “Deathly Hallows is a brand new adventure like nothing you have seen in the other Harry Potter films. I hope you are all looking forward to it!”

Translations from Premiere Magazine
Posted by Megs

SnitchSeeker (via Anais and HallowedGround) now has translations from the Premiere magazine feature on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  The translation includes interviews with with Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Tom Felton, Bill Nighy (Scrimgeour) and Rade Serbedzija (Gregorovitch).  Read the full translations here!

P: Everybody knows that the Harry Potter clan suffers great loss in this epilogue. What’s it like to witness the deaths of characters that you’ve known for 10 years?
B.W.:
One thing is certain: the atmosphere would change dramatically once we started talking about the death scenes. There was a really strong emotional tension, but opposite the characters, we didn’t have time to feel sorry for our friends. We filmed this scenes just as J.K. Rowling described them: in the frenzy of the action.

P: After ten years of Harry Potter, say goodbye to the saga must have been especially heartbreaking.
TF:
When we went back to the last festival at Leavensden after the end of filming, the emotion was at its height. It was the last time the full team was assembled in the Great Hall. We suddenly seemed very empty…a funny feeling.

P: You may find yourself in a few years wandering in the Harry Potter theme park that just opened in Florida.
TF:
(Laughs) That’s exactly what I said! If I get too depressed, I will go live over there.

Premiere: How did you get to Harry Potter 7 ?
Rade Serbedzija:
It’s a funny story…I was in LA, packing my bags to go back to England, when my oldest daughter – she was 16 at the time- asked me where I was going. I tell her that I’m going to London to meet up with the director of Harry Potter.
And then, she just freaks out: “You’re gonna be in Harry Potter? Dad, if you ever get the job, you don’t know how much I’ll respect you! “I playes alongside Stanley Kubrick, but I had to be on Harry Potter for my daughter to be proud of me. I’m playing Gregorovitch, a guy that makes miraculous sticks…

P: Instead of evolving as the other characters do, Luna stays true to herself…
E.L.:
I auditioned for this character because I wanted to be Luna and no one else: I feel really close to this character because she doesn’t judge anyone. Underneath her loony and detached looks, Luna has had really hard times too. She’s the one who relates and puts an impartial view on the situation, things that I’m capable of doing myself. It’s thanks to her crazy looks that I managed to really be in her skin. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to keep any accessory. Impossible to steal a sock without getting a freaked out call from a costume designer…

P: How did you play Rufus Scrimgeour?
B.N.:
Like an old soldier, a man of action turned politician. He had lived a life of war and fights that tired him and I wanted to give him a sweeter edge… You also had to be a little enigmatic. The readers of the sage know the character and its destiny, but I didn’t want to play him starting from the end… I kept a part in the shadows …so as not to make him a hero from the beginning.

Premiere: What captivates you the most in this last movie?
RG:
The decision to make two films. The first part looks like a road movie – which we also filmed in large part outside, which was very exciting. In the second we sat down in the destruction of Hogwarts, with intense battle scenes but were very fun to run.

New Evanna Interview from Deathly Hallows Set
Posted by Megs

Harry Potter Fan Zone was able to interview Evanna Lynch on their set visit last year and they have now posted their interview.  She talks about being a fan of the books, Deathly Hallows and more.

Question: I’m curious if you could talk a little bit about when you first got the seventh book. Where were you? What was your reaction to reading it? Lynch: Yeah, I was invited to J.K. Rowling’s big thing in the History Museum in London. I went all dressed up and everything as usual and didn’t get recognised. Lucky. And, yeah, I read it in my hotel really quickly. My reaction, yeah, I was a bit overwhelmed. You know when you’re a fan you want to take it all in but you feel guilty when you put the book down because it’s like, “there’s stuff I don’t know in there”. I read it in a rush and sort of cried for ages after.

Question: You also play a prisoner in this film, could you talk a little about filming those scenes and how intense are they?

Lynch: Yeah, it was with John Hurt, who plays Ollivander. It’s a really spooky place because the ceilings are so low. Oh, and he has to be sort of frail and everything. And Harry comes down and then there’s Bellatrix torturing Hermione – you can hear the screams. You just get the feeling like, “how can you get out of here?”, and none of them have their wands. Yeah, it’s horrible.

Question: Is Luna much different in these two films than she has been in the past couple or is she sort of still the same?

Lynch: She’s always going to be the same [laughs]. Yeah she doesn’t change, that’s the thing about her, she knows herself so well. Most of them, they go through all these stages, where they’re like battling with themselves, but she’s so happy with herself that I think the only thing that changes is her surroundings. She has her friends this time and it makes her happier but it doesn’t really change her.
