Tom Felton has hosted another video game demo for Half-Blood Prince. The feature has interviews with Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Ralph Palmer (Animation Director), Emily Newton Dunn (Designer) and Freddie Stroma. You can watch it here or below.
The LA Times has posted yet another interview, this time with Jessie Cave!
How is Lavender introduced? She’s in the Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes shop and she’s kind of ogling Ron. She’s been going to school with them for years, but it’s not that she’s making her interests known.
Were you already a ‘Harry Potter’ fan when you auditioned for the part? Oh, yes! I’m one of five in my family and we’ve all gone through the books at different paces. I read ‘Half-Blood Prince’ before I knew anything about the auditions. So to have already read the character was so great. Also, my little brothers and sisters are so excited, and proud. It’s impacted their lives in a really nice way. So I’m really grateful for it.
Did any of them get to go with you to the set? I brought them all on set but my little sister, she’s 11, she was the one who was in awe of everything. Jim Broadbent was there, and Daniel Radcliffe. I brought her into the Potions classroom and I signaled Daniel to wave at her without her seeing. And then Daniel waved and she thought he had done that for no reason and she was in seventh heaven. She was absolutely star struck. She almost fainted when she saw Emma [Watson] in the corridor. It is so bizarre to actually meet them because, you know, they’re on posters everywhere. It’s so weird. My sister’s got sticker books of them and then to actually meet them? There’s actually a new sticker book with me in it, so she’s got stickers of me now. It’s so sweet. I can’t believe I’m actually a sticker.

If you recall, a few days ago I posted about James and Oliver Phelps being on the television show Blue Peter. According to a TLC reader:
Just seen Blue Peter where they showed a brief clip of Ron, Hermione, and Harry in the Weasley joke shop. It showed Hermione furtively putting a product back, and then Ron following the twins up the stairs with a product asking how much it was, the twins answered 5 galleons, and Ron quite peeved said I’m your brother and they looked at each other and turned to Ron and answered “10 galleons”. The shop was full of kids and products, it was off-the-wall to look at.
The twins built a mat that shot water up from it if you stood on it and got water sprayed at one of them … They weren’t bothered though. They said they played practical jokes mainly on the crew not really on Dan or the lead cast etc
