| | |  Leaky interviews OotP scriptwriter
Following the fabricated interview that emerged yesterday with Order of the Phoenix screenwriter Michael Goldenberg, Leaky have spoken to the man himself to find out the truth in regards to how he feels about Potter. He confirms that he's met Jo Rowling several times in person; he first came into contact with her before he ever started working on HP. Quote: MA: How did you attempt to cut a screenplay out of that 900-page book?
MG: David Yates and I worked from the beginning -- we both really like dense films which are very generous in the same way the books are so generous, and looked for every opportunity to get everything we could in there. And where we couldn't, to sort of pay homage to it, to have it somewhere in the background or to feel like it could be taking place off-screen.
Quote: MA: Can you give an example of a cut you had to make that you just really had hoped would stay?
MG: I know there was some controversy about the Ron-Quidditch sub-plot. I hated to cut anything. But in that case, because it wasn't really central to the story and there's so much else to deal with, we all felt pretty early that was something that might not make the film. But by the same token, the spirit of that story, and Ron growing as a character and Ron facing challenges and coming into his own in the same way that Harry is, we tried to get that into the film in other ways, as much as possible.
Quote: MA: What are some of your favourite moments?
MG: I guess a lot of emotional moments, obviously, between Harry and Sirius. Luna was somebody I fell in love with right from the beginning. I thought she was really important. She gives an important, new colour to the story, to how Harry looks at things. The minute you meet her with her wand behind her ear you go, "Oh, she's a writer." I was smitten from the beginning. But that kind of innocence, combined with the hard-earned wisdom that's come from her past, and how she and Harry connect because of their similarity.
The entire interview can be read here.

Wonderful Interview!! He sounds like a really cool guy. I too love Luna and everything she brings to the story. She is an awesome character and I can't wait to see how Evanna Lynch portrays her on screen. I think she'll do a great job. ^.^ | |

I still think Ron and Quidditch would have made it a better movie but I'm not judging until I see the final product in July.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

He seems really great! I just wish that the ron, quidditch sub-plot was not cut. I think that it really showed him growing a lot and was imporant to the 6th book.
