Warner Bros’ official Harry Potter Facebook has released a new video where the Harry Potter cast interview each other. We see the Phelps brothers, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch!
As promised here is part 2 of Magical-Menagerie’s coverage of the World Premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I in London on November 11th! Part I can be seen here. Before I post the video I would like to say thank you SO MUCH to my amazing friend Maura for stepping in to brave the press pit when I wasn’t able to get to London for the premiere. You are AMAZING and did a great job with the footage!
In case you don’t want to scroll down here’s the first video:
The Leaky Cauldron has posted up their red carpet interviews from last night’s premiere! They interviewed Emma Watson, David Heyman, David Yates, Jason Isaacs, Matt Lewis, Katie Leung, Evanna Lynch, and Jo Rowling.
I will hopefully have our footage of the event up tonight!
SM: How would you say The Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 differ?
JP: I think it starts off with Harry Potter trying to avoid getting captured by Voldemort. They’re trying to work out how to get away. My character gets pretty battered in the process, and that’s the first time you see that Voldemort’s not a normal bad guy. He’s just ruthless. Then it really starts to get dark, the more desperate he becomes to get Harry. And then in Part 2 it all kicks off at the school.
OP: Part 1 picks up exactly where Half-Blood Prince left off and it kind of builds from that. Part 1 is kind of like a typical Potter movie in that it’s about exploring things, while Part 2 is full-on action. It’s a war pretty much.
JP: When we filmed the Battle of Hogwarts sequence, it was like a scene from Saving Private Ryan. All these gothic buildings had been totally obliterated. The first time we saw the decimated Great Hall, it was sobering. I think it’ll look fantastic on screen.
SM: Do you think the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 will both have their own distinctive plots, tones and identities?
ML: While Part 1 is mainly Ron, Hermione and Harry off on the run, there’s a tiny bit of a flash into what’s going on with the resistance back at Hogwarts. It’s very heavily focused on Harry, Ron and Hermione. Part 1 is them trying to find the Horcruxes, while Part 2 is really focused on them coming back and the Battle of Hogwarts.
It’s a bit like The Lord of the Rings, where Parts 1 and 2 are about how long the road is and how much of a toll it’s taking on everyone, while the final part is the real climax – the real action. There are a lot of deaths, a lot of blood.
