Scholastic Interviews Jessie Cave
Posted by Megs

Scholastic has a new interview with Jessie Cave!

Q: Who do you think you bonded with most?
Jessie:
On set? Definitely Emma [Watson who plays Hermione]. I really got on with Emma really well. I thought she was brilliant.

Q: How was it kissing “Ron Ron” in Half-Blood Prince?”
Jessie:
It was weird! It was just so strange, mainly because it was my first day of shooting. You were really plunged into the deep end. There were so many people in the room as well so it was quite scary. But, also because of that, because of the people and the sets, it’s quite easy to pretend you’re in that world for a minute.

Q: How many times did you have to take the shot?
Jessie:
Quite a few times. Because there were different angles, it was a two day thing!

Q: What is the best memory that you’re going to take away?
Jessie:
I think the best memory will be my final day of shooting [Half-Blood Prince] and we were over there in the Weasley Wizard Sweet Shop, which I just love because I used to be an illustrator. I did art. And every single box of sweets was decorated and designed and was beautiful and I just remember thinking, “This is brilliant.” But not only that, it was because I knew it was coming to an end the filming. It was such a beautiful day and I remember being so happy that I’d been in this film, and I just remember I loved everything about it.

Domhnall Gleeson Interview
Posted by Megs

The Belfast Telegraph has a new interview with Domhnall Gleeson, who is playing Bill Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He talks about filming a movie with his father Brendan (Mad-Eye Moody) and brother as well as mentioning filming Harry Potter.

The father and son team took a break from filming Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows to spend four days in freezing snow and ice shooting the short film in Shannonbridge, Co Offaly.

Domhnall’s debut as a director was a challenge with only €10,000 to make the magic happen.

Domhnall, who plays Bill Weasley in the new Harry Potter movie, said it was “fantastic” to work alongside his father and brother on the project.

Brendan Gleeson, of course, is well-known for his role as Hogwarts professor Mad-Eye Moody.

“Being an actor in Harry Potter is a different experience. It’s fantastic at the same time but there are so many extras and it’s just so huge, you’re not in control of anything,” Domhnall said.
