Posted by Megs

Tom Felton, Jessie Cave, Bonnie Wright, Dave Legeno, and James and Oliver Phelps were interviewed by Canada’s The Magazine last month and scans from the magazine are now online. According to SS:

Jessie noted that she will take part in some of the battle sequences for the final film, and that she hasn’t gotten the chance to meet J.K. Rowling yet; Tom and Bonnie confirmed that they will attend the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter next May; James and Oliver joked about having nicked a few sweets from the Weasleys’ joke shop, and an incident during customs involving a Puking Pastille; and Dave commented on a little fear he has in common with costar Rupert Grint.

New Cast/Crew Interviews
Posted by Megs

In a bunch of new interviews (one, two, three), David Heyman, David Barron, director David Yates, and actors Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, and Jessie Cave talk about the Harry Potter Films.

“Ultimately, what makes these books work, what I love about the books, is that for all the spectacle, for all the adventure, (there are) the characters.” Part I will be “the road movie” with the young stars on the run, Heyman says. The final battle comes in Part II. “And what we are trying to do in this final battle, as much as we can, is root it in characters! For me, it’s really all about the characters and it’s about the people who are battling and, if you’re invested in that, that is what will make it work!”

Heyman has predictions about co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson:  “Dan will continue acting and maybe directing. I think he’s interested in that.  Rupert will continue acting. Rupert is one of the most original people you will ever meet, really lovely. He’s a one-off. And I think Rupert is a really talented actor with great comic timing.  Emma, if she wants, can be a movie star. She is hugely talented and incredibly in touch with her imagination. She is fiercely intelligent and I think she could do whatever she chooses to do.”

Thanks SS!
