| | |  Chris Rankin talks Percy Weasley & Deathly Hallows
Chris Rankin (along with Stan Ianevski - Krum and Jamie Yeates - Flint), attended Ring*Con this weekend, where he spoke exclusively about his thoughts on coming back for Deathly Hallows and his character Percy Weasley's transformation in the final book: Quote: Will you be in the seventh Harry Potter movie?
I hope so.
Did they approach you yet?
I don't know… (hesitates) That's a very complicated question to answer for a lot of different reasons. If we go by the books then there's no reason why I won't be in them. But until they print the script it could go either way. Fingers crossed!
What scene are you most looking forward to?
One of Percy's finest moments is walking back through that portrait into the Room of Requirement at the end of the seventh one when he finally comes back. I can't remember what he says, something like 'Did I miss anything?' (laughs). I just remember reading that in the book and going 'YES! Good boy!'. That would be fun. And then obviously getting to do a bit of action would be quite nice because Percy doesn't get the hardest job really. He just walks around a lot and shouts at people. They might actually give me a wand if I did the seventh film, that would be nice. I haven't had a wand yet!
Chris also goes into the depths of Percy Weasley's psyche: Quote: Percy, although one of the most intelligent Hogwarts students, doesn't see through Lord Voldemort's propaganda. Can you identify with him at all?
I can't really identify with him apart from the fact that we're ginger and round about the same age. Although I was a prefect at school and actually I was a bit of a goodie-goodie. But I am an only child. I don't come from a long line of red-headed children (laughs). But I can understand how he got caught up in the whole ministry propaganda because he's so desperate to succeed. I suppose that comes from the poverty of the Weasley family. They're not rich, they have seven kids but no money and I guess he kind of wants to get out of that.
Do you believe Joanne K. Rowling wants to teach us some kind of lesson through Percy?
There are a lot of morals in Harry Potter and everyone realises that Percy was an idiot and even Percy knew he was an idiot so whether or not she was trying to teach us that blood is thicker than water and all that, I don't know. I guess so. He's just a good character from the point of view that he is just a [prat] really. It's nice that he has the chance to come right in the end. I don't think it's wise to try and work out what Joanne K. Rowling is thinking because you could be there a long time.
HP-Xperts also spoke to Stan and Yeates about their work on the Harry Potter movies. Their interviews can be read here and here.  | |

it'll be great if Percy comes back in DH - and an opportunity for some important moments with Fred and the rest of the family during the battle! With 2 parts they'll certainly be screen time!

Percy needs to be in DH especially the part when Fred dies. That was a very powerful part during the battle. It also shows that Percy has feelings for his brother, who has always given him a hard time. Yes, he needs to be in DH!

That was what actually redeemed me for Percy - not that he came back, but that he was so heartbroken over his brother's death. I would really like to see that part in the film!

It's a shame! They never even touched on the fact that Percy had betrayed the family, so even if he does return, there really won't be much of an impact..

I really hope Percy is in DH. you're right, eddieriso, they really didn't mention his betrayal. What I liked though in OotP you see him dragging cho and Harry into Dumbledore's office when the DA is discovered, so at least there is a little support. I would be so upset if they cut Perce out, that was one of the greatest moments!  | |
