Warner Bros released a new interview with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, where they discuss their initial casting experience. This video will be part of the Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’ Stone which will be released next month.
Warner Bros has released the first advertisement for the upcoming Harry Potter Blu-Raye Live Community event, where fans will have chance to chat with Daniel Radcliffe and director David Yates. This event will be held in celebration for the release of the HBP DVD and Blu-Ray.
In the video above, Dan gives a brief introduction about the event and what are the things to happen.The event will take place LIVE on Saturday, December 12 at 8:00 GMT (3:00 EST; noon PST) through BDLive.com. Viewers must have a Blu-ray player, the Half-Blood Prince Blu-ray disc, and an internet connection to watch and participate in the interview session.
David Bradley has nothing but praise for his young co-stars in Harry Potter. Though they maybe reports that they (Dan, Emma and Rupert) have gotten bigger heads due to success, the veteran British actor denies it all and says that the kids were the most sane he has seen of them all.
You wouldn’t even know that they had made the money they have. Their parents and the people looking after them keep them grounded. They don’t disappear off to their trailers in between bits, they hang around and chat like the rest of us. Those kids work really hard. I really admire them.”
He says the lead actors and actresses have the same dressing rooms as the rest of the cast. “Nobody’s pulling rank on this one. We all have nice trailers and they all look about the same size.”
He also mentioned that he will miss them all since the Potter film franchise is winding down to its end.
“I’ll miss everybody. It’s been a great ride and great to be part of something that’s gone on for 10 years and I’ve managed to go that whole time without getting killed off! We’ll have a big bash at the end as we always do.”
During the New Moon fan party in London last Wednesday, InStyle UK was able to talk with Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright who attended the event. Bonnie explained her dress for the evening and her fashion style.
‘I’m actually just wearing a really old vintage jumper, it was really cold when I left the house so I just chucked it on’, Bonnie said.
‘I guess I’ve always been really strong minded about what I wear, I’ve never followed what other people consider fashionable or what styles are happening at the time. I just like to feel good in myself and wear what’s comfortable really’, she told us.
‘It’s fun to dress up for the real red carpet stuff, wearing pretty dresses, but I also like general day wear as well’.
She also mentioned that she keeps in contact with Emma and just like any girls, they talk also about fashion.
‘We talk all the time, Emma’s studying at Brown at the moment and is really enjoying it but when you spend so much time with people, like we do on Harry Potter, it’s hard not to stay in contact.
She also mentions that she prefers Rob and is in his team for Twilight.
‘There’s a lot of hype around Rob (Pattinson) so I guess I’m Team Edward!’ But of course, Pattinson previously starred in Harry Potter.
Bonnie is later spotted in the week attending the launch of the Jimmy Choo Line for H&M. Here are some photos courtesy of Snitchseeker:
This past Tuesday, Remembrance Day was commemorated in the UK, where many people around the country stood in silence for two minutes to show respect for those lost during World War I. The cast and crew of Harry Potter were among those who observed this. One of the crew members named Jaime sent a text to BBC Radio 5Live on November 11th, stating the following:
We’re currently filming the final battle sequence of the last Harry Potter film, and we stopped for two minutes this morning. It was very eerie, it was thought-provoking, in the mists, along the ruins of Hogwarts.
The audio can be heard on BBC’s website here (skip over to about 1:51 hours).
