| | |  Julie Walters talks Molly Weasley
In a brief new interview Julie Walters, who plays Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter films, admits that she isn't a fan of the books but does like to keep up to speed with her character. Quote:
"The funny thing was that a rumour went around once that I was an avid reader of the Harry Potter books and that I was always first in the queue when they came out.
"Not the case, I'm afraid. Someone caught me thumbing through one on a bookstand and all I was doing - I admit it - was checking whether or not JK Rowling, the author, had written my character out!
"It was pure self-interest. I got to the magic words 'Mrs Weasley', realised I wasn't going to be the impending corpse and put the book back on the shelf."

of course, she has an important part (but not a huge role) in the series - although the final battle scene will be excellent! that said i doubt she could pay the bills based on her HP work alone!
it's a little annoying how some headline have claimed she "hates" HP just because she's not a HP tragic (like most SS members!). Jim Broadbent (Slughorn) put it best that HP wasn't really of his "generation", Julie's probably the same?!

That's a shame. For someone who isn't a fan of the books, she plays her very well indeed. | |

Like with Jim, her role isn't central, so it isn't really vital that she reads the books avidly. | |

oh well, to each his or her own. If she doesnt read the books because it isnt her cup of tea - fine. She plays her role beautifully, do we all agree to that? |

I'm fine with it. As long as she acts like the charcter, doesn't bother me. | |

It's sad that she's not interested in the books for anything other than her character. She is a wonderful actress though  | |

Well, she is a fantastic actress. I guess when you think about it, not everyone out there is a reader. It just feels like that to me sometimes. | |

Julie is a great actress, I had seen on tv a while ago a movie she was in . It was about a group of ladies who raised money for a cure for cancer. they posed for a calender. I can't remember the name of the movie.. But Julie was great.. I did not realize it was her until after the movie. I am so used to seeing her as Molly Weasley. | |

She definitely is the best Molly Weasley we could imagine. Every time I read the battle scene (and I did my 5th yesterday) I can only picture her. | |

Ashame she doesn't like the books. I feel like if you're going to be in a movie based on a book you should at least read the book, but oh well. She plays a great Molly anyway. | |
