Two more interviews are now online!  Katie Leung (Cho), Matt Lewis (Neville), Bonnie Wright (Ginny) and Evanna Lynch (Luna) all discuss their characters and the films.

First Interview

Katie:
Did they make a big thing of it[the kiss] on the set?
Yes. They were reminding me about it every five minutes, which didn’t help at all because I was nervous. But when the time actually came it wasn’t so bad. It took about 20 takes to get it right. But that’s pretty standard for any scene. Though it is a bit odd when you’re trying to concentrate on kissing and there’s a cameraman moving around you.

Evanna:
I think I am like Luna, but not as much as everyone thinks I am. She’s not as determined as I am. She wouldn’t have chased the part in the film the way I did. But we both believe in things that don’t have to have facts to back them up.

Second Interview

Bonnie:
It’s been more fun doing this film as Ginny’s character’s developed. The six of us go through to the Ministry of Magic and it was really interesting to be a part of. Ginny’s a bit more confident – I have definitely enjoyed that.

Q: Do you think Neville’s going to die?
A: A lot of people have come up to me and said, you’re going to die mate’. Cheers! But I like to think he’ll be there fighting to the end. If he does die, I’d like it to be really heroic, saving someone else’s life.

BBC has recently done an interview with Evanna Lynch. Unfortunatley the link isn’t working so I can’t get many quotes from the article to put here.

This is my schedule – I get out of a summer course on Thursday night, go to the bookshop, start queuing, queue all day Friday with my biggest Harry Potter fan friends, then read all of Friday night, all of Saturday, and then Sunday is a mourning day.
I guess some people might recognise me in the queue, but everyone is just going to be so excited for the book that they won’t care about me.

Starlog magazine has a 12 page feature on Harry Potter in their July issue.  There are interviews with screenwriter Michael Goldenberg, director David Yates, and producer David Heyman. David Yates also talks about pre-production for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which comes out November 21, 2008.
