A new video interview with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and James & Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) has emerged at Orange France. Thanks UHP and also read a translation below thanks to SS.

Bonnie : There are so many fans who read the books and they wish that what occurs in the books, be also in the films. We want to develop the characters such as JK Rowling wrote them.

Oliver : It’s funny to see the characters evolving differently from what people imagined. With all their jokes, they are supposed to become entrepreneurs, open a big shop and to gain lot of money. It’s really very exciting !

Tom : Why is Draco such a problematic child? His father is obviously an obvious reason, because he was persecuted in his youth by the father of Harry.

Bonnie : There are many pressures to carry out all the dreams of the fans. When the first films had left the fans were 11 years old, and now they are approximately 20 years old. They await something more adult, but there are always children who look at films of Harry Potter and that you cannot forget. In this one, there is much darker elements, but also much humour.

Tom : Draco is too busy to think about the girls! He had a girlfriend in this one but he is really too busy.

Then the journalists ask them what magical stuff they would have in real life :

James : I would use an invisibility cloak like Harry, it would be really very useful sometimes!
Bonnie : I would not choose a spell but more a capacity: that to be able to appear and disappear wherever by clicking my fingers.
Oliver: I would use the watch which allows you to speed up the time, that would be really brilliant !
Tom: The broom! Imagine we could fly to England on a broom, it would really change the world as we know it!

July 10th a Harry Potter special, designed to promote Half-Blood Prince, will air in Belgium. It will be airing on Channel VT4 and will include interviews with the cast, including Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

Thanks RupertGrint.us

Pink News has a new review of Half-Blood Prince on their site!

While the special effects, comical interludes and smiles are all present, the Half Blood Prince shows us a darker side of Hogwarts in the run up to the final piece of J.K. Rowling’s modern classic. Young adults will no doubt find the cleverly woven character relationships somewhat closer to their hearts than most, but not to the detriment of the overall story. The Half Blood Prince can be seen not only as part of a seven-strong series of books, but as a prologue to the Deathly Hallows. Obviously a must see for the fans, and one which, if you were disappointed by the lengthy delays last year, nothing will keep you from enjoying.

A twelfth television advert for Half-Blood Prince has been released and is online thanks to SS.

LA Times has a new interview up with Matt Lewis where he talks about Harry Potter and more!

JP: How’s the relationship between all of you actors who have grown up together on the set?

ML: Well, people ask me that question all the time.  And you’d expect me to say ‘Oh yeah, everyone gets on great’ — but no one really believes me.  You know, if you stick a lot of people together at such a young age and for such a long time, you automatically expect there to be arguments — you expect there to be fallouts and for people to not get on.  But somehow, remarkably, we all just get on so well.  It’s been a fantastic nine years really, and I’m looking forward to the next couple.

We spend time with each other off the set.  We like the same sorts of music, we all have the same sort of sense of humor and comedy likes … we just get on so great.  I think it really shows on camera.  You know when James and Oliver Phelps, who play the Weasley twins, and Rupert, who plays Ron, when they’re in scenes, a lot of the banter that they have as brothers is ad-libbed, and they can do that kind of stuff because they just get along so well.
