| | | Dan Radcliffe, David Yates & Clémence Poésy talk challenges in making Deathly Hallows
The new issue of France's Premiere magazine also featured interviews with director David Yates, star Daniel Radcliffe, and Clémence Poésy, who returned to the franchise in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as Fleur Delacour. The English translations can be found, courtesy again to Anais, below. Quote:
Daniel Radcliffe recounts strong moments of the movie… Daniel Radcliffe: "The scene where I find my parents with Sirius Black and Lupin, it was by far the most emotional one; then the one where I go looking for Rowena Ravenclaw’s diadem in the Room of Requirement; when Ralph Fiennes trashes me during the last battle between Harry and Voldemort…” Daniel Radcliffe: "Last day of shooting was really moving for us all. I even shed some tears and I wasn’t the only one. We spent ten years together. I grew up with Harry Potter and I keep in my head a lot of unforgettable memories, too many to recount them all. It wasn’t easy saying goodbye."
Quote: David Yates: "I have to supervise a few teams who are working at the same time. One team is working on a link-shot which shows Bathilda Bagshot’s corpse under a different angle. Another team works on a series of really large shots for the sequence where all the piled up bodies are being sorted after the great battle at Hogwarts. A third team is finalizing the adjustments on Hagrid’s size onscreen." Yates: "Both movies are a little different. In the first part of the Deathly Hallows, I opted for a reality-cinema almost in a documentary style with a shoulder camera that moved around a lot, mirroring the feelings of the three heroes on the run. Harry, Hermione and Ron are out of Hogwarts’ comforting surroundings, chased by Death Eaters in a more realistic environment. The second part is more grand, spectacular because the action there is on a higher scale, which reaches its peak with the grand finale." Yates: "Fans often complain that we deleted some of their favorite parts. Here, we offer them an exclusive scene, a chase in the forest with the Snatchers." Yates: (talking about Daniel Radcliffe) "After working with him on four movies, I’m still impressed by his seriousness, his work ethic and his amazing professionalism. The same goes for Emma and Rupert. Their emotional maturity is remarkable for people their age. Also, despite their celebrity, none of them are big headed."
Then, on how he deals with the stress of such a super-production he answers : "Stretching and yoga at lunchtime."
Quote: Clémence Poesy: "It was really fun and a lot easier this time. Four years ago, I arrived in London like an alien. I was the little French girl loose in nature on something big and totally crazy. This time it was really different. I had the impression I was coming back to summer camp after being gone for a while. There were the same smells of food, the same people, the same places… The difference was that everybody had grown up and the furniture was a little dustier." (Laughs)
"But really things hadn’t changed much. When I think about it, it’s really sad that it’s the end. The idea of telling a story in the same place, with the same people who work in a different world and know it by heart was beautiful! Harry is like the " Antoine Doinel" from our generation… We grew up with him. This time around, I was prepared."
"The thing I remembered about The Goblet of Fire was the rate at which we worked. Sometimes we would shoot nonstop and other times we would wait for hours without anything to do. So this time, for the Deathly Hallows, I brought my books, my music, my DVDs and my sketchbooks. Well there were worse: David Thewlis brought his piano!"
"I get asked a lot how Daniel is or if Emma is like her character in the movies… It surprises a lot of people but, four years ago, they were already really mature and they still are. Daniel always surprised me. He has a curiosity, an open mind about the world that is rare. He takes everything in there is to take in people, but in a smart way. Ralph Fiennes is also like that and watching him play is a privilege. He was so into his character that he scared the people who had a walk-on part on set…. But don’t count on me to tell you who impressed me most. It would be like asking you which colleague you like most at Premiere and then showing your answer in the offices. Would be a little embarrassing, wouldn’t it? “
Interviews from Premiere with Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Tom Felton, Bill Nighy, and Rade Serbedzija can be read here. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011. |

| its time to choose between what is right and what is easy
aww this is great !! i love all the hard work these guys put into making these movies. i always love how Dan talks about how hard he tries. i cant wait to see the scenes he talks about.. Voldermort trashing him? interesting.
i am beginning to really hope that as much expectations we all have for the last 2 installments that David Yates blows us all away and exceeds those expectations

Haha, if they brought all that stuff to the set, it must have been REALLY hard work then. (Really, Mr. Thewlis? A piano?  )
