Today SS interviewed Robert Pattinson who was Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films and will be playing Edward Cullen in Twilight.

With Cedric I felt very natural doing a lot of his stuff. Because it was my first really big thing, I kept telling myself, “It’s not a big deal. It’s not a big deal. It doesn’t matter if you make up a bit of the line.”

Harry Potter’s Page: You felt you related more to Cedric?
No, not really. I knew a guy just like Cedric when I went to school and I was thinking about him a lot when I was doing that.

How did you relate to the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?
When I was doing the part I had so little idea of how to act. I was sort of just doing that off the cuff. I don’t’ know how much of it is acting and how much of it is just being there and reading the line.

Peter Pettigrew has made The Guardian‘s list of top-ten best fake deaths in literature.

In the third part of the Potter roman-fleuve, Peter Pettigrew pretends that Sirius Black has killed him, cutting off one of his own fingers to make it seem that the rest of him has been blasted to atoms. For 12 years he adopts the guise of Ron Weasley’s pet rat, Scabbers. But the severed digit gives him away.

Thanks HPANA!

Melissa has posted another part of her interview with JK Rowling!  In it she talks about spoilers.

“I remember there was a journalist, a TV journalist, who said at the time, very flippantly, ‘Ha, ha, it’s all publicity, isn’t it?” It just felt so out of control at that point, just felt so out of control that the manuscript had suspiciously turned up in a field, that this guy who had supposedly found it just thought, ‘Oh, well, the best thing I can do here is phone some newspaper. … And then of course we hit book six and we think we’ve seen the most out-there attempt to get a Harry Potter manuscript early, and of course we haven’t come close because the we get the guy with the gun. That was pretty serious, that really was not funny. Fiddy told me and I thought it was a joke. I thought she was making a joke.
