The Evening Standard British film awards were held last night and a bunch of Potter stars were in attendance including Bonnie Wright, James Phelps, Clemence Poesey (Fleur), Jamie Campbell Bower (Young Grindlewald), Toby Jones (Dobby), Warwick Davis, and John Hurt. Photos of the stars at the event may be seen here.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II won the Blockbuster of the Year, People’s Choice Award. Additionally, John Hurt, who plays Ollivander in the Potter films, was honored with the Alexander Walker Special Award for his contribution to film.
InStyle has just posted an interview with Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Young Grindlewald in Deathly Hallows: Part II, where he discusses his various roles and, of course, Twilight and Harry Potter and who would win in a fight.
A lot of your roles seem to be quite fantastical – Harry Potter, Twilight, even Sweeney Todd, would you like to do a role that was just simply a guy living now?
If it was a good story I would jump at the chance, it just so happens that most things that I’ve done has been that sort of supernatural role. But that’s because it’s a good story. I’ve just got a new project, which is a fantasy series, so for the near future it’s all fantastical.
You’ve been in both Harry Potter and Twilight, was it a different experience on each set?
Every job is different. My time on Harry Potter was very, very short, whereas my time on Twilight was quite long and extended. Every job brings a new life experience. I was able to come back home when I was in Potter, whereas when I was in Twilight I was out in Baton Rouge and Vancouver for five months together. Every job should just bring something new and exciting and should help you grow.
Who would win the battle between team Twilight and team Potter?
Now, I got asked this question the other day, but if it was just the two leads – Edward vs Harry. I said Edward would win in that situation, because once you get the wand out of Harry’s hand, he’s dead. But, you’ve thrown a new dynamic into it because if it was a team battle, honestly then, I don’t know. I probably have to say the vampires again, they do move at super speed but the other guys have wands and you can stand back, you don’t have to get so close. Who knows? It’s a debate that philosophers have been thinking about for years now!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II both walked away with awards at tonight’s National Movie Awards. Part I won for Best Fantasy Film and Part II won Must See Movie Of The Summer. Bonnie Wright, Jamie Campbell Bower and David Heyman were in attendance. Jamie also won the ‘One to Watch’ award.
Producer David Heyman thanked JK Rowling for making this year’s award possible. He said: “I know we are not quite the two boys and a girl you wanted but a big thank you to all. On behalf on David Yates (director) who can’t be here and our entire crew a big thank you to JK Rowling, we wouldn’t be here without her and of course to you the public.”
Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley in the movies, added: “We made the films for you. Thank you, guys.” The final Harry Potter film Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is due for release this summer and won the Must See Movie of the Summer Award. Bonnie said: “I’m probably as excited as everyone else to watch this movie. It’s really going to hit us being the end of the end, and I think when the credits roll it’s going to be emotional for all of us. Thank you for staying with us for the last 10 years.”
