Post Exclusive: SnitchSeeker interview with David Heyman, Imelda Staunton return confirmed

As we told you earlier today, SnitchSeeker had the opportunity to interview David Heyman last night about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We spoke with the producer about Rupert and Emma's kissing scene, Bill Weasley, young Dumbledore and Dolores Umbridge, among other things.

You can listen to the interview here (sorry, the Apple Store in Santa Monica was loud and hectic), or read the transcription below.



Quote:
SnitchSeeker.com: Dan Radcliffe said he wasn't present when Rupert and Emma did their kiss scene. Was that deliberate – so he wouldn't distract them?
David Heyman: No.

SS: Harry's not in the scene?
Heyman: No.

SS: So it's not like it is in the book? [Heyman shakes his head no]
Quote:
SS: Did you do anything to help Rupert and Emma calm their nerves for that scene?
Heyman: No, I think they both were quite nervous. They've worked together, they've known each other for so long, so it was a big deal. It's like kissing a really good friend yours, you'd think, "Hmmm, that's a little strange." But I think that it works really well. In a way, tenses them, which they weren't before. You want that awkwardness, and they throw themselves into it. It really works. It works fantastically.
Quote:
SS: Harry Ron and Hermione argue quite a bit while camping. How did you prepare the actors for that change in their relationship?
Heyman: Well, you know, it's interesting because the kids are growing up as actors. They have many more experiences now then they had when Christopher Columbus was working with them. They're much more mature, they've had experiences in life outside of Potter, they've had experiences acting outside of Potter. They've all had friends they've gotten along with and friends that they've fought with. And so I think they just brought much more of their own feelings and experiences to it.

One of the ways David Yates works is he really engages them. He doesn't tell them what to do, but he makes them very much a part of creating the role. For example, David has lunch with Dan Radcliffe once a week to talk about what they're doing. It takes quite a close and intimate relationship all three of them have with the director. They're too mature now to say, "Go do this," or just leave them alone. They want to engage.

It wasn't that difficult. They're grown adults … well not grown adults, they're 19-20 years old. And at that age, you've fought with your friends. So they're used to it, and people who you care about, too. They really care about each other. So in the end they were able to bring a lot of their own experiences to the table.
Quote:
SS: Since Deathly Hallows is the first time we see Bill Weasley, how will he be introduced?
Heyman: Well, we know it's his wedding. So, he's introduced at his wedding and we express it's Bill and Fleur's wedding so you know it's Bill Weasley and it's at the Weasley house. So you know pretty much who he is when you see him and Fleur. It's pretty clear in the end.
Quote:
SS: Has he been attacked by a werewolf?
Heyman: Yes he has.

SS: And how's that explained, or is it?
Heyman: It's understood.
Quote:
SS: How are you going to handle Dumbledore's backstory, as it was mainly Harry reading Rita's book?
Heyman: We have Hermione reading parts of the book and we also have a character at the wedding who talks about Dumbledore's past. There's Elphias Doge, who also has a more favorable opinion of Dumbledore. Hermione finds Rita Skeeter's book and she reads the book to them.

SS: Is there going to be an actor playing young Dumbledore?
Heyman: Yes.
Quote:
SS: When will a formal casting announcement be made?
Heyman: Eventually.
Quote:
SS: Is Imelda Staunton going to return as Umbridge?
Heyman: Yes.

SS: Did you talk to her how much more evil her character has become?
Heyman: We haven't yet, but we will. She's familiar with the book.

I didn't really like the feeling behind some of his answers. He seemed like he was being a bit short. Idk. That's just me.

I wish they stop changing things. im really upset about the end of HBP. I wanted to see that battle between the Aurors and Death Eaters...where Bill gets bit in the face..."Its understood"...Yes, a lot of things are having to be understood.

Wow - great interview! Nice to know they include Umbridge in the movie as she is an integral part. It's a shame they didn't keep the kiss the same but maybe they felt it was so important they didn't want anything to distract from it. Oh the last film is going to be soooo sad!

I can't wait for this movie (even though it's so far away )!!! Imelda Staunton is going to be great and I can't wait for the Elphias Doge scene
I'm guessing the R/H kissing scene will either be in the RoR or the CoS. I think it'd be better in the CoS because it would be a nice change from the RoR where every major kiss has taken place!

As always, it is impossible to explain a scene the way Jo does in the books and due to changes in the past (for example: S.P.E.W was never even mentioned in the films) certain scenes have to be made differently. True, I don't see why Harry couldn't be present but after all, changes have been made in HBP and still it turned out awesome. So I suggest that people chill and let the directors do their work.. after all it might turn out even better than in the books ;P

So glad I read this. I had heard that "the wedding" would be Lupin and Tonks!

But why oh why do they insisting on changing the big kisses? Harry's and Ginny's was soooo wrong. I can only imagine what this one between Ron and Hermione can be. I'll be afraid to watch.

I'm rather curious about that too since they didnt explain it at all in the hbp movie but i suppose we will just have to wait for DH. I'm not sure i can wait so long though im so excited!

I'm so happy Staunton will return in DH film.
I've always thought she is a great actress and the way she portrays Professor Umbridge was just...amazing!

harry ϟ potter is a lifestyle

Isn't anyone else upset about the change in the R/Hr kiss??!!!

They're probably going to make it all quiet and romantic like Harry and Ginny in the ROR but that's so stupid! The R/Hr kiss is this big dramatic almost cheesy (but in an amazing way!) release of the emotions that have been building up over 7 years, imagine Hermione running down the Great Hall in COS only with a kiss at the end!

I knew they would have to alter it at least slightly because they didn't include the house-elf thing but come on!! I am really angry right now GRRRRRRR!!! It's just so out of character, the whole point of their relationship at this stage is that they just need one last push to get it together, not a 'romantic' moment in a dark, damp, cold room with a decaying snake corpse in it.

Sorry, I should really stop ranting but for goodness sake! Grrrrrr...ok I think I'll go and lie down now

On a happier note, I'm so happy Imelda is coming back!

^ But without the house elf reference, how else could it have been done, with Harry still there and have the same impact?

I'm so Excited about the Kissing Scene and a bit dissapointed that they are not going to maintain the Kissing part as the book... I really wanted Harry to be there and become part of the "finally" new couple.

All these questions really make me want to see DH very soon! I'm curious to see exactly how the kiss scene will play out and I wonder if Dumbledore's past will be explained clearly. It worries me that they've got Hermione just reading out of Rita Skeeter's book. Hopefully it'll be thorough.

I am so excited for R/Hr kiss!!! I really hope it is not a quick kiss! That would be disappointing, I want it to be different to H/G kiss in HBP!

I don't mind if Harry isn't there, because then their kiss will last shorter!
LOL it might be like the first scene ever without Harry! Haha...

I don't like Umbridge but it's great to see she's back I am looking forward to the wedding where Fleur and Viktor come back! I am excited to see Bill as well! I noticed that so many characters from other HP movies are returning in the last one! Also Rita Skeeter is aswell...
I am looking forward to see Luna's Dad and their house!

There are so many parts I can't wait for but what I am confused about is in part 1 where abouts are they going to split it? Like what would be the to be continued... sort of thing?
I recently read the book for the second time and I would love to know!
