| | |  Celebrities talk Harry Potter
To commemorate the tenth anniversary (in the U.S.) of the release of Sorcerer's Stone MTV spoke to a bunch of different celebrities about what Harry Potter means to them. Quote: Keira Knightley: "I've read all the books. I haven't seen the films, except the first one. What's the alley where they get the wands from? [Diagon Alley.] That's an amazing image. Harry, he's pretty cool. He's got a good scar."
Quote: Robert Pattinson (Cedric in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Edward in "Twilight"): "Does it make me a traitor? 'Harry Potter' was what made me become an actor. I credit 'Harry Potter' with everything else that's come since for me. I didn't know what I was doing before that. I hadn't read the books before doing the movie, so at first I read it just as an acting exercise. But I really enjoyed it!
Quote: Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" films): "I think the great thing about 'Harry Potter' is that J.K. Rowling has created a myth for our time. I know it sounds cliché, but to keep reinventing the dynamic between good and evil in an accessible and dramatic way is fantastic. I think the high-octane drama of those movies is great for keeping filmmaking alive. There's an energy and an inventiveness and an originality to what she's done."
Quote: Verne Troyer: "I was actually in the first 'Harry Potter' film, and it was fun, but the only thing was, I had to go through over five hours of makeup. A new 'Harry Potter' film is going to be coming out soon, and they have my character [Griphook] coming back, but they somehow didn't call me and have me be a part of it. What's up with that?"

besides everything else HP is an exciting and entertaining read and the movies have done an excellent job of bringing JKR's imagination into reality.
Like Robert Pattinson, I'm sure that a lot of people will be able to look back on HP as their big break.

I agree with Verne. What IS up with that? If they're having Griphook in the film then why not get the original actor that played the part. I hate when they replace characters with different actors when the original is willing to do it.

^ Griphook will be heavily made up, so I doubt it you will notice they changed the actor.
Nice interviews, they all have such good things to say about Harry Potter & JKR.

great idea interviewing people
and Griphook?
i really find that annoying when the original actors dont get to come back 
but i dunno, no one knows the reason behind that exept for the movie folk.

Casting hasn't started yet. He's getting ahead of himself. Given the recent scandal surrounding him, they may not want to use him again. I believe Warwick Davis mentioned he might be playing him, as well as Flitwick.

With the amount of make-up on Griphook, I don't think it would matter who played him. It's great that they all had something nice to say.

I didnt realise that it was mini-me... i thought it was warwick doing both roles, oh well.
Nice to see that Verne reads the books, but is that passion because he wants it to be real to the books, or he wants to be paid?
I like all the comments.

It's nice to know that there are some actors/actresses out there that aren't ashamed of what made them famous. Go Robert!

Is Verne referring to being left out of HBP or DH?

I totally forgot about that scandal. I agree with you....they may just use Warwick.

Griphook: the casting is not finished yet, so there's a serious possibility of you being back.
