| | |  Frances de la Tour talks Madame Maxime & GoF
Empire Online interviewed Frances de la Tour (Madame Maxime) on the set of her new film ' The History Boys'. In the interview she talks about the giantess character she plays in the fourth Potter film as well as discussing the movie in general. Quote:
"She's a French giantess – or half giantess, so of course when she meets Hagrid, they are both half giants, so there's a frisson" the actress explains. "There's a lot of romance (in the film). They fall in love, and then, it's really lovely. Hagrid is… again you see a tenderness in him… it's lovely, really lovely to do."
Quote:
"The difficult thing was the green screen acting, which I know nobody, no actor likes doing, because you haven't got the other actor to even act with, and that I found really hard. I mean, you don't know if you're doing too much or too little, or… it really is a stick with a ping pong ball."
Quote:
"In the book, and I think they've got it in the film - although it's nothing to do with me really, but what an entrance! They all look up to the sky, and a powder blue carriage is flying, being driven by four white stallions – that is an entrance into a film! And then she steps out."
Quote:
"I saw Mike (Newell) the other day, we did some ADR, and he said he was really pleased. I said "Well obviously you'd say that", because he directed it, and he said "but I am… I am pleased!", and that the preview was well received in Chicago."
Quote:
"Is she coming back? Well in the books she does, and they can't cut me out – I've got to come back! That would be lovely."

did they cut badman out of GOF?
We haven't heard anything of him so probably. Although he never really served much of a purpose apart from comic relief.

I would have to agree with the green screens being hard to deal with, they look hard. | |

Great interview!! She seems very nice! And she would come back too, not like some others... *coughHagridcough* Quote:

 Funny!

I think Robbie Coltrane's comments were motivated by his character's possible lack of prescence, not his enthusiasm for the project.

i can't remember where but i saw a pic of her today - i believe it was either mugglenet or veritaserum but she's very thin...i pictured someone more...large...not just tall but rather...big boned...anyways she isn't she looks very thin so she's not really what i pictured but i bet she'll do a good job at the role - she looks to be a very accomplished actress according to the bio on the site

^ well, the Weasley twins did make their bet with Ludo Bagman though, didn't they? He took all their money away.

That he did but it isn't an important plot point by an stretch of the imagination.

So far, Madam Maxime hasn't really come back has she? Hagrid just talks about her in the 5th book and is she even mentioned in the 6th book?
