David Heyman, the producer of the Potter films, recently discussed Harry Potter at a film premiere.

Producer David Heyman was on hand and talked about diversifying his film interests as the end of his Harry Potter era draws near: “This is the last Harry Potter and I want to enjoy it because it has been a unique experience and I’ll never have anything like it in my life again. This is the last journey and I really want to treasure that, so I’m not going to be running off, I want to focus on that. But the end is nigh for Potter, sometime in June 2011, and it will be a mixed feeling because security, this family, this great group I’ve worked with and this material I’ve worked on will be coming to an end. It’s a rather scary prospect of being unemployed, and having to find my next gig looms large. But I’m looking forward to having the time to spend on new projects in a way not interrupted by Potter.”

The Baltimore Sun has a new article online and it has a bunch of fun information such as an interview with director David Yates and Steve Kloves, the screenwriter for most of the Potter films!  They talk about bringing the Potter films to life.

Screenwriter Steve Kloves, a distinguished director himself (The Fabulous Baker Boys), has been working with Yates back-to-back-to-back on Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows I and II. He says Yates’ “vast resources of patience” are good to have on Potter films, “since the books are difficult to wrestle to the screen.” But “there is something else that separates David Yates,” says Kloves. “He is willing to do the heavy lifting, to make the difficult decision when necessary – something which many directors are not willing to do.” Kloves, the adapter of all but one Potter novel (Phoenix), writes first drafts that tend “to be both wishful and practical” in his desire to retain Rowling’s details and plot twists. “Wishful in the sense that I want to get the entire book on the page and practical in the sense that I know the wishful side of me is insane.”

Next Saturday, April 18th, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone will be playing on ABC at 8pm.  Check your local listings to make sure of the time.

I will post a reminder on Saturday. 🙂

A scene from Philosopher’s Stone has been voted the Best Movie Moment of all Time.

The chosen scene from Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone showed Daniel Radcliffe as his big screen character embarking on his first trip to Hogwarts, as he discovered platform nine-and-three-quarters at King’s Cross train station. The Potter moment beat out the memorable chimney sweep’s dance performed by Dick Van Dyke in the 1964 Disney classic Mary Poppins.
