A new video interview with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and James & Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) has emerged at Orange France. Thanks UHP and also read a translation below thanks to SS.
Bonnie : There are so many fans who read the books and they wish that what occurs in the books, be also in the films. We want to develop the characters such as JK Rowling wrote them.
Oliver : It’s funny to see the characters evolving differently from what people imagined. With all their jokes, they are supposed to become entrepreneurs, open a big shop and to gain lot of money. It’s really very exciting !
Tom : Why is Draco such a problematic child? His father is obviously an obvious reason, because he was persecuted in his youth by the father of Harry.
Bonnie : There are many pressures to carry out all the dreams of the fans. When the first films had left the fans were 11 years old, and now they are approximately 20 years old. They await something more adult, but there are always children who look at films of Harry Potter and that you cannot forget. In this one, there is much darker elements, but also much humour.
Tom : Draco is too busy to think about the girls! He had a girlfriend in this one but he is really too busy.
Then the journalists ask them what magical stuff they would have in real life :
James : I would use an invisibility cloak like Harry, it would be really very useful sometimes! Bonnie : I would not choose a spell but more a capacity: that to be able to appear and disappear wherever by clicking my fingers. Oliver: I would use the watch which allows you to speed up the time, that would be really brilliant ! Tom: The broom! Imagine we could fly to England on a broom, it would really change the world as we know it!
James & Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) will be attending a Half-Blood Prince premiere in Finland next month. The event will take place in Helsinki on July 16th. It starts at Tennispalatsi at 4:30pm and the movie wish start at 6pm.
The LA Times has posted another article and they have interviewed James and Oliver Phelps!
MG: What was your favorite experience working on “Half-Blood Prince?”
OP: That would be being a part of the Fred and George joke shop scene. The crew built an exquisite set and there are a lot of special effects involved to simulate the magical pops and explosions. It’s a great scene. JP: I really enjoyed working with the crew. Most of my actual acting I was able to complete in about two weeks. When I wasn’t acting I would help the crew set up scenes and shots. I learned a lot more about direction and filmmaking in general and that was pretty cool.
