David Yates, Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson have taken part in a new interview about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Emma on David Yates:
He’s quiet, thoughtful, sensitive. Mike [Newell, director of Goblet of Fire] would sit in his chair and yell at us, or stand up and just be very loud and British. Whereas David will think for a bit, he’ll come over, speak a few words, keep it to a minimum. The thing that always comes up with David is finding truth in the characters, truth in the performance, make it real.
Dan:
“I’m ready to be pushed and challenged,” says Radcliffe, who this year made his London stage debut in “Equus” to good reviews. “The other directors could have pushed and challenged, and did, but I wasn’t ready. With David, I think I’m at a stage where I can more competently give him what he wants out of a scene and with more detail.”
David on Harry:
“I thought it would be interesting to make him feel a little bit more fragile, a bit more vulnerable. That heightens the emotional stakes because you know he can be killed.” Part of that change of emphasis was to treat magic as a vital, dangerous force. “To make people realize how powerful and dangerous magic could be.”
