Video: Ciaran Hinds talks playing "grumpy old" Aberforth Dumbledore
Actor Ciaran Hinds recently spoke to Collider about his work in Deathly Hallows, in which he plays Aberforth Dumbledore. He mentioned that he only worked on set for five days, portraying "the grumpy old Dumbledore," and working alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson. It can be viewed below.
UPDATE: Ciaran spoke to MovieWeb on the Aberforth role, and what he thought of the final installments of the Harry Potter franchise being made entirely into 3D.

What has it been like to play Aberforth in the Harry Potter films?
Ciarán Hinds: He is not in it for very long. I must warn you. Again, it was a great thrill just to be in it. He's not that involved in the story. I think he comes in near the very end, where he comes in and saves the gang from being torn apart by Dementors. He actually explains to Harry and Hermione, and Ron, the history of his brother when they were young. Even though he's gotten a few black marks for his behavior. They go through the whole cycle of it. But I'm not sure where that is going to be added to the story. It was a mystery to me why I was thrown into the pot. When I took a look at all of the other actors there, I have to say...I was very thrilled to be a part of it. I don't even know if you'll be able to recognize me in this. Hopefully I will look like Michael Gambon's younger brother. It was great fun to play.
What was it like to step onto that set for the first time?
Ciarán Hinds: It all looked pretty crazy. My major scene took place in a small room. It was a room under the pub that he ran. It was very much contained, the scene that I had to do. Then I had to shoot for two more days, where they had me running around this huge set. It had been ripped apart in a Morlock battle. It was covered with people running around waving a wand in a certain direction. That was the mad part of it that I just had one day on. Last January. Most of the stuff I did in the film was contained in a small room.
What are your feelings towards the announcement that they are going to be releasing the film in 3D? Are you excited to see yourself in IMAX 3D?
Ciarán Hinds: Honestly? I don't hold much of care for 3D. I think it's a passing fad. It came and went in the 60s. I don't see what it adds to the story. To be quite honest. I have seen a few things in 3D, and it didn't involve me anymore than when I saw something in 2D. Here, the story is definitely good enough. I don't get the 3D thing. But that's just me. I see myself in 3D on a daily basis. That isn't something I've been looking forward too.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.
♥♥♥♥♥ I'm Telling You These Times Are Hard But They Will Pass I am a busy bee. Please bear with me as I will come on SS as much as possible. ♥ Harry Potter Forever! ♥

Oh, he's going to be fabulous even if it's only for a few moments of screen time.
What did you mean by entirely into 3D? Like the films will be released only in 3D without standard picture releases? I'm in trouble if they are, I get terrible headaches from 3D. Not that I wouldn't watch it anyway. Everyone would just be bathed in a vague aura of red, blue 'n white. Severus' doe will be borderline psychedelic! XD
