Blog Hogwarts has an interview with Dean Mitchell, who is playing a guest at Slughorn’s party in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And thanks to SnitchSeeker we have a translation!

BlogHogwarts: Had you read any of the Harry Potter books before you obtained the role?
Dean Mitchell: Yes, I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books but when it comes down to books and movies I tend to do it in reverse order to most people. When a film gets released after a book you can often find that the reader of the book is dissapointed with the film. But I find that if I have seen a movie I enjoyed, then I will turn to the book in order to get more out of the story. But as an exception to my own rule I have to say that if anyone is interested in Time Travel, you have to read The Truth Machine by James L Harperin… No movie as yet.
BH: Have you already shot scenes of Half-Blood Prince?
DM: My involvement with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was shot in England during the earlier part of this year before I relocated to Los Angeles, California.
BH: How do you feel about being in a Harry Potter film?
DM: I’m extremely grateful to have appeared in a Harry Potter film and to be a small part of the Harry Potter legacy. We have a lot to thank J.K Rowling for and I feel truly blessed, honoured and lucky to have been in some of the best production around today.
BH: Have you met other actors or actresses on Harry Potter set?
DM: Indeed, yes I’ve worked with them on the set and met others outside of the film industry in other locations.
