In a quick new interview with Total Film Rupert Grint and David Yates discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. The quotes can be read below or seen on the scan in the gallery.
“The Great Hall turns into this flaming ball of rubble with dead children and bodies everywhere. It’s shocking but going to look really cool!”
David Yates had this to say about the film:
“There’s so much emotion – and death,” sighs a blessed-out David Yates of the last act, in which several key characters crake it.
Inquirer.net has some new interviews with Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe where they discuss their Christmas traditions.
“We have a proper log wood fire in my living room that really gets me in the Christmas mood,” “Harry Potter” star Emma Watson said in our chat in London. “And we have mince pies. That’s a very English thing. If you’ve never tried one, mince pies are absolutely delicious. You must have a mince pie.”
Emma added: “We always watch really good Christmas-y films by Richard Curtis like ‘Love Actually,’ ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Notting Hill’ or old BBC dramas like ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ I always play Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby’s Christmas album which is great … I curl up with my cats. I’m a cat person.”
Emma observes these traditions at her own place in London which she painted white. “My life is so chaotic and mad, so everything in my apartment is white,” she explained. After the holidays, she goes back to her studies at Brown University and in her dorm where “everything is blue and other calm colors.”
Rupert Grint confessed that he’s a serial shopping procrastinator: “I usually do the shopping at the last minute.” Otherwise, Rupert claims that it’s a pretty conventional Christmas in the Grint household. “We usually have a routine and we’ve stuck to that for the whole of my life,” said the carrot-haired actor who told us they have miniature pet animals at home. “I have a massive family. We just stay at home. It’s good to get everyone together. It’s a good time.”
In contrast, Daniel Radcliffe has a smaller gathering. “The whole family—it’s only a small group of us, really—get together and that’s it,” said the actor who’s doing musical theater on Broadway next year. “I’m always at home for Christmas. My only holiday wish this time is that England goes to Australia and win The Ashes (a cricket series). I’ll be staying up late quite a lot more to hopefully watch them win.”
RupertGrint.net have found out that Rupert Grint’s appearance on BBC’s Come Fly With Me will be airing on January 6th at 21:00 on BBC One.
Welcome back to the Airport, and another opportunity to meet the dazzling array of characters in Matt Lucas and David Walliams’ new comedy series.

In addition to Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch, we have the interviews that Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton and Rupert Grint did with Total Film Indonesia. You can read all the interviews at the links on their names. You can see the scans below and some segments from the interviews.
You start as a bully and end up being one of the more complex characters. Tom Felton: Yeah, it’s a real journey, I think, for young Draco. I think Jo [Rowling] – I mean, I don’t know this for a fact – but I think he was written purposefully quite one-dimensional for the first five years as sort of a typical bully… to get the audience hating him, to get the audience knowing exactly what he is. And then on the sixth, we sort of go behind the scenes a bit and see his family, to meet his mother, who I think is a good representation of why maybe he was a bit softer than his dad. His dad is certainly more militant… he also bullies him to a small extent so that’s half the reason I think, why Draco is how he is. It’s been fantastic for me as an actor, really, to sort of play it one way and for it to be turned on its head and to completely go the other way with it… I was actually very nervous about the lack of stages of the character because I knew it was going to get a lot more complicated and I wasn’t really that confident in my ability. But David Yates set up several meetings to boost up my confidence and he’s really happy at the end of it.
Neville’s so heroic in the end, which is wonderful, so what’s your definition of a hero and who is your hero? Matthew Lewis: Well, the Leeds Rhinos [his favorite rugby team] were my heroes, last night! I don’t know if you caught the game; they were unbelievable. But no, my real definition of a hero is… obviously, all the people who are in the Middle East right now. You know, those guys are the heroes. I don’t personally know anybody who’s out there, but I know friends of friends that are and it’s shocking. It’s wholly shocking that in the twenty-first century, that sort of thing still goes on. Those guys are out there, doing a job, and they don’t wanna be there, but they are, and I think that’s courage and heroic.
This time they’ve given you more deep, emotional stuff. How hard was it to do Ron’s jealousy and falling out with Harry? Rupert Grint: Yeah, it was good. It was, I suppose, a different kind of side to Ron in this film. We don’t really see Ron kind of, um, turn against his friends that often. He really does have doubts with Harry’s ability and the fact that we’re not really getting anywhere with these Horcruxes kind of fuels that. He’s a bit jealous, as well, because he sees Hermione and Harry together, and he’s just not having a great time. It kind of erupts into a this bit of an argument. Those scenes are really quite good fun, actually. Whenever me and Dan are shouting at each other… it’s always great.
Reelz Channel have sent over a new video segment hosted by Tom Felton where Rupert Grint and Emma Watson discuss the friendship of the trio and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.
