There is a new video interview with Jamie Campbell Bower where he discusses Harry Potter, among other things. You can view the interview here.  You need to skip the first 2 minutes to get to where he talks about Harry Potter. Enjoy!

The Brisbane Times has a new interview with John Hurt, who plays Ollivander in the first Harry Potter film and will be returning for Deathly Hallows.

After Lou finishes, Hurt resumes his role as Mr Ollivander from the first Harry Potter movie in the two-part Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows .

“He gets kidnapped and imprisoned and all sorts of nasty things happen to him,” he says. “So I’m back again after seven years.”

More Harry Potter actors are set to attend the London Film and Comic Con!  If you remember, last week I told you about James and Oliver attending, now the site has added more names:  Angelica Mandy (Gabrielle Delacour), Charlotte Skeoch (Hannah Abbott), Josh Herdman (Gregory Goyle – Saturday only), Nina Young (the Grey Lady – Saturday only) and Dean Mitchell (Slug Club wizard).

Continuing with their surge of Harry Potter articles the LA Times has an interview with Mark Williams who plays Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

For Harry Potter, did you read any of the novels before you were cast?
Yeah! I read them before I was cast and was, kind of embarrassingly, a fan, a bit. I found my agent and said ‘Is anybody gonna read these as talking books because I’d like to put my name up for it.’ I knew who Arthur Weasley was, and I know who I am and I knew I could do it. I’ve been in “101 Dalmatians” and “The Borrowers” and “Shakespeare in Love” and stuff … and I felt like I had a connection.

Yeah, you’re right, they’re not anymore, but did you take on a paternal role set?
Well, yeah, but you gotta be careful you know? They’re bored of it now, but there was a time when we first started where, particularly after lunch, Dan and Rupert could just have this giggle hour. It just reminded me of being back in school. you know, that time around 2 or 3 o’clock, you just couldn’t say anything serious. But, I have to say that they show remarkable forbearance … They must be so bored with talking to middle-aged actors throughout their childhood. But, the whole setup has been great for that. It’s like ‘Don’t be bringing your ego in here cause they’re just 8-year-old actors.’

According to United Agents David Bradley will reprise his role as Argus Filch in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Thanks to SS!

Apparently the preview of Half-Blood Prince shown during Merlin was the one we have seen already of Young Tom Riddle and Dumbledore.  I am just starting to watch now because I recorded it.

So sadly no new footage from the movie was shown!

Also, John Hurt who plays Mr. Ollivander in Sorcerer’s Stone is in all 13 episodes of Merlin as the voice of “The Dragon”.
