Video: David Heyman talks BAFTAs, Deathly Hallows II, J.K. Rowling, trio, more
Producer David Heyman spoke to The Telegraph on his work in the Harry Potter films, receiving the BAFTA film awards' Outstanding Contribution to Cinema award this coming Sunday, and a few tidbits about his three leads, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson (all of whom had very kind things to say about him).
Heyman also mentioned that he has no idea if J.K. Rowling would write another Harry Potter book, but wouldn't be surprised if she released a supplementary book, like Quidditch Through the Ages; he also teased about the final installment of the film series, Deathly Hallows: Part II, and how there will be quite a lot of action leading up to the final confrontation between Harry and Lord Voldemort. That can be viewed here.
Heyman also spoke to BBC Breakfast earlier today on the details as to how he got involved with the Harry Potter films, beginning in 1997. That can be viewed here.

"If someone were to ask me what [J.K. Rowling]'s going to do with Harry Potter, I haven't got a clue, but it wouldn't surprise me if she does some tangentially-related things like [2001 spin-off] Quidditch Through The Ages.
"But I can't imagine Harry being a stockbroker at 35. That doesn't really seem the stuff of Harry Potter."
Quote:
The eighth and final instalment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, is released in July. "It will be emotional for all of us when it's over, no question. It's there, the end is nigh, but I don't think the full impact has... I think we're all quite exhausted and looking forward to a nice nap," he says.
Quote:
All three leads "had an innate quality that resembled their character", he says. "Rupert was from a big family; Emma was fiercely intelligent and in denial about being like Hermione; and Daniel had a fundamental decency about him."
"I think it's great to see how they've grown up, not just as actors but as people. They're still very much the same kids that I met many years ago. They've grown up and they are funny and wicked and naughty and bright, and I think as actors their work is just getting better and better. They've blossomed."
Quote:
He is proud to receive the outstanding achievement award, named in honour of legendary film-maker Michael Balcon. "It's really wonderful that it's the whole franchise being recognised and it's a collective award. Each film has anywhere between 2,000 and 6,000 people working on it and so really the award is for each and every one of us. We are like a family."
Daniel, Rupert, and Emma left small notes on a poster for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as children to David Heyman:
Quote:
"You're a WICKED producer!" writes Grint. "To David, thank you is not a strong enough word for my gratitude," is Watson's neatly written message. And from Daniel Radcliffe? "Thank goodness I went to the theatre. Love, Dan."
The Orange British Academy Film Awards will take place this Sunday in London, and air live on BBC1. We will have full live coverage that evening from the red carpet and subsequent ceremony.
i agree with the interviewer in that it would be nice for the 3 stars to be reconised for their contribution and for their devlopment. But, none the less the Balcon award is a great honour indeed
Aww I love the trio's notes to David Heyman. They really are quite lovely and down to earth when you read their messages. Makes you see how thankful they are for the opportunity.
I have to admit that I have never seen another movie franchise which had a better casting than HP. Even after 11 years Dan, Emma and Rupert resemble their characters perfectly Their completely down to earth and ove them soo much
The Ones Who Love Us Never Really Leave Us R.I.P. Susan aka Mum, Douglas, and Chantice
It's so unbelievable how amazing the casting is!!! They are wonderful actors and such great people!!!! And like their characters

All three of those messages they left for him all sounded just like the characters; they are so like their characters I loved 'in denial about being hermione'...that made me laugh. teehee
