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
SnitchSeeker had the opportunity to interview Freddie Stroma at the premiere of his new play, Cinderella (where he plays Price Charming) in London. They have posted a new video interview with him from the event as well as some photos which can be viewed below.
MTV’s Harry Potter’s Sexiest Men list has been released and Tom Felton has come out on top! The list encompasses all of the Potter films, I must say that I do agree with who is on the list but I might switch around the order a bit. I was wondering where Jamie Campbell Bower was, but they aren’t counting those just in Deathly Hallows since its a look back at the films.
10. Matthew Lewis Yes, Neville Longbottom is supposed to be awkward and homely, but boy has Matthew Lewis grown out of that. He started off as being geeky and adorable in “Sorcerer’s Stone,” but has definitely toughened up over the years. Also, we should note that when Matt is out of his Neville make-up, he looks a whole lot cuter.9. James and Oliver Phelps Oh yeah, ladies, we get to put hot twins on our list too! (Two is always better than one, right?!) The Phelps boys have not only charmed our socks off as Fred and George Weasley, but they’ve also grown into two dashing young gentlemen (who also happen to be just as funny in real life!).
8. Stanislav Ianevski Looks like Viktor Krum won’t be making a return in “Part 1” like he did in the book, but that mostly bums us out because it means we won’t have a reason to drool over Stanislav Ianevski some more. Remember a time when we all thought that he was hotter than Robert Pattinson in “Goblet of Fire”?
7. Rupert Grint Who would have thought that hilarious Rupert Grint would grow up to be so freaking awkward/adorable. Sure, not all of you out there might be into gingers (more for us!), but it’s hard to deny that Rupert has an irresistible sort of charm that we’re looking forward to seeing more of in the future.
6. Freddie Stroma Cormac McLaggen might not have been the nicest person on the Quidditch team, but he sure was pretty to look at. Fortunately it looks like his purpose lasted beyond “Half-Blood Prince” since we’ll be seeing Freddie Stroma again in “Deathly Hallows: Part 1.” Thank goodness, because we need more blond beauties in “Harry Potter.”
5. Christian Coulson Before the Big Three had hit puberty in the films, we were already drooling over their arch enemy, Tom Riddle (a.k.a the boy who became Voldemort). Christian Coulson definitely made his mark in those few scenes he had in “Chamber of Secrets,” and we’re guessing the filmmakers didn’t bring him back for “Half-Blood Prince” because they probably didn’t want all the girls in the audience drooling over someone who would become the most evil being alive. C’est la vie.
4. Daniel Radcliffe My goodness, Daniel Radcliffe turned out well. Sure, we have a special place in our hearts for the tiny boy with big glasses and a lightning bolt scar from “Sorcerer’s Stone,” but Dan is just so charming in person (and talks at a rate of about a thousand words a minute) that he managed to be one of the hottest men in the cast as well. Plus, he’s talented.
3. Sean Biggerstaff You might find yourself asking, “Who the hell is Sean Biggerstaff?” Sean had the fairly small role in the first two “Potter” films of Oliver Wood, Harry’s Quidditch captain, but he is a fond memory that we love looking back on again, and again, and again. We suggest you hop on the bandwagon as well.
2. Robert Pattinson We would be remiss if RPattz didn’t make it on our list, and—prepare your rotten veggies—I’ll be the first to admit that I definitely think he is much hotter as Cedric Diggory than he is as Edward Cullen. Plus he has one of the top five most heartbreaking deaths in “Harry Potter” history, which earns him a top spot on this list. His death scene made me cry more than Sirius Black’s, and that’s saying something.
1. Tom Felton Nine years ago, when I first saw “Sorcerer’s Stone” in theaters, I never would have dreamed that one day I would say the boy behind that brat Draco Malfoy would earn the number one spot on a sexiest men of “Potter” list. But during those years, Tom Felton has not only become absolutely gorgeous but one of the sweetest and most charming men on the “Potter” cast, and, as we’ve shown, there are a lot of them. Plus I like the bad boys, what can I say?
Freddie Stroma (Cormac McLaggen) will be in a panto production of Cinderella at the El Portal Theatre in Los Angeles from November 27 – December 19, 2010, playing Prince Charming.
“Panto is for the whole family and something that truly unites family together in fun and entertainment,” says Kris Lythgoe, Executive Producer and CEO of Magic Pictures International. “It’s a must see over this holiday season.”
Last night on Twitter, Freddie Stroma (Cormac McLaggen) posted a trailer for a new film he is in called 4,3,2,1 (Four Three Two One). The film also stars Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy). There is also a teaser you can watch below (the full trailer is here).
While Jo (Roberts) is chained down in a dead end supermarket job, her friends are all out on their own separate adventures: Cassandra (Egerton) is jetting off to New York to meet her Internet boyfriend; Kerrys (Warren-Markland) is on a one woman crusade fighting for female liberation and Shannon (Lovibond) is on a one way trip to meet her maker. But a chance encounter with some diamond thieves sends their separate worlds on a collision course with not only each other, but fate itself. These 4 girls are about to have 3 days they will never forget, spanning to 2 cities. That is … if they survive.
You might recall that at the Half-Blood Prince New York premiere I asked Freddie if he would be returning for Deathly Hallows, he said he would like to but wasn’t sure. Now we know that he will be returning as Cormac McLaggen! Waring and McKenna have updated their site to confirm this news!
His status is set at: “Filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
