| | |  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.
