Post Video: Harry Potter cast talk working with adult costars & Deathly Hallows

To promote the Blu-ray and DVD release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, several pre-recorded interviews with actors Bonnie Wright, Tom Felton, James and Oliver Phelps, Matthew Lewis, and Evanna Lynch from last fall were released, where they discussed what a privilege it was to work with their famous adult costars.



Quote:
Bonnie Wright: It's been such an amazing opportunity to work with people like we have, you know, Julie Walters, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith. It's just been phenomenal, kind of every British actor we could ask for. I think for all of us, I think that to be able to work with them, to be able to talk to them and just watch them, really, to be quite open and see how they work quite differently has been the greatest inspiration you can have, as you're learning, so that's definitely enriched the experience.

James Phleps: Alan Rickman - I was really intimidated when I first met him because I wasn't sure how - you kind of see him and you're like, 'oh' - but he's such a nice guy and really funny, actually, as well. Maggie Smith, David Bradley - I said Julie Walters and Mark Williams - Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon - everyone, it's just a who's who of British acting, and they're all just really, really cool guys.

Tom Felton: There are so many great villains, or people who have played great villains, between Ralph [Fiennes], Alan [Rickman], and Jason [Isaacs] I think you've got the three best villains of all time. I had lots of great mentors to teach me. Equally, I didn't bug them for advice, I just sort of enjoyed watching them and their work. Alan has a terrifically dry sense of humour, so I enjoyed working with him a lot.

Matthew Lewis: You hear all these stories about people at the level of their career, of the calibre of Alan Rickman, and immediately they have to be a horrible person or a nightmare to work with.

What I have learned is that most of those stories are absolute rubbish. I thought everyone was fantastic. Obviously it was intimidating to begin with because I was 11 or 12 years old, but you get past that and realise they're just genuinely nice people who are doing a job, same as you."

Evanna Lynch: And they work so hard, they don't get lazy and think, 'I can stroll in at 12 o'clock.' They're always there on time, and they're always...

Matthew: ... professional.
While in Australia this week, where he is attending the Supernova fan convention, Tom discussed his character Draco Malfoy in the film series, what he thought of the dynamic change in Deathly Hallows: Part I and David Yates, and his upcoming film From the Rough in a new interview. That can be read here; photos from Supernova can be found in our galleries, via Feltbeats and numerous Australian fans.



Quote:
Obviously, you have dialogue and everything, but so much of your performance in the film has really kind of been in your expression in your eyes and on your face. Do you find that?
It’s so nice because Draco is such a well-written character. They’re all beautifully written characters, but he’s so defined, and I feel like there’s no hesitation when I’m playing him, which is so nice. I’m sure that’s over ten years of getting to know him, of course, as well. But, yeah, to me he’s a very defined character and a lot of the time, yeah. You don’t need the words and I’m very lucky, again, that we have such fantastic actors around me. Really, little effort was required. I had to do more not to laugh when Daniel and I were about two inches away. That was far more of a worry. We had great fun doing that.

Can you talk about working with David Yates, the director?
Sure. I mean, I owe everything to David. Before working on the sixth film, actually, I wasn’t even sure whether I wanted to do this, really, as a living, and he is well and truly embedded with a massive passion for film making. He’s the most enthusiastic man I’ve ever worked with and also the most gentle and approachable, which is really, really nice. But, to know that he’s actually been working now for basically a year solid without a break, literally, and he’s still so excited now to crack on with the next part. He really cares and it’s so nice to have that sort of passion on the set.

How did you feel at the end of the movie?
I was blown away. It went before my eyes and someone told me it was two and a bit hours. It flew by, as far as I’m concerned. It felt like an hour to me and it really had such a lovely transition. It looked, visually, stunning, I thought; the stuff in the woods just looked so beautiful. And the acting was phenomenal, especially from Daniel, Rupert and Emma, I really thought, actually, especially Rupert. I love seeing Ron as this ****** off guy [Laughs] rather than this happy daffy guy. So, it was nice to see the actual conflict between the three of them and I think all three of them really shined.
Quote:
Career-wise, what are you looking forward to? What would you like to do at this point?
Just to continue acting. I’ve been so grateful for the last ten years and it would be wonderous to continue that. Obviously, it’s quite hard to go up when you start on Harry Potter. So, needless to say, it’s going to be a different style of project, whatever’s next, but I hope I can find something that I’m passionate about and that I can really sink my teeth into and put some of myself into. So, fingers crossed.

You think it will be more film or stage?
I really haven’t closed any doors. My eyes are wide open to any opportunities out there right now that I find interesting. So, yeah, I mean, 2011’s going to be exciting. We’ll see what happens.

You were filming in The States recently. You’re filming something right now?
I just finished shooting something in New Orleans and independent film called From the Rough.

Can you talk about the differences between filming for that and a giant production like Harry Potter?
I can’t describe how different they really were. Polar opposites. Time is really what it is and money buys you time and the luxury that Warner’s had on this was 280 days, nearly 300 days to do two films, whereas we had 21 to do one film in From the Rough.

I mean, in many ways that’s great because the energy of a scene stays there and you shoot that and then you just switch the camera around and you go that way, which is really nice rather than waiting four hours in between, but, equally, it’s so nice on Potter that you had such attention to detail and care and if it wasn’t right then they’d come back tomorrow and they’d shoot it again, whereas it’s very different in the real world. It’s very different because films are kept to a ridiculous schedule and they have to move on regardless of the quality. So, that’s always a bit of a concern and it was a real learning lesson for me there. No 25 takes. You’ve got two. So get it right. [laughs] And it was rather a wake-up call.

Can you tell us anything about From the Rough?
It’s based on a true story about a famous American coach who wants to bring some diversity to the school and so she hands out five golf scholarships to five internationals, a Korean chap, an Australian, a French Algerian, an American and a Brit, and I play the South Korean. [laughs] I said that yesterday to a deadpan table. [laughs] I said, ‘Just to confirm, I’m not playing the Korean. I’m the British guy, yeah.’ So, it was a lot of fun doing that, actually. I really enjoyed my time out there.

What kind of school was it?
Golf. Sorry I didn’t mention that. Yeah, golf. If it was ballet or tap dancing I may have not been quite so keen to jump in.

I always love his interviews- he's very witty and always finds something to say to make people laugh. And he's so darn NICE! I've read articles where interviewers have stated that he's their favorite of all the HP cast to interview. He seems to be the kind of guy you'd love to hang out with. I know I would! *sigh*

Great interview! I would be terrified to be next to Alan Rickman for sure, and I adore him. Tom's interview was awesome, too. He's so funny and down to earth!

Heaps of people had pre-judged Alan Rickman before they met him, it's sad what movies do to some ones reputation and what the impression is when it's all over.

I love seeing Ron as this ****** off guy [Laughs] rather than this happy daffy guy. - AGREED!

"Always" // "all was well."

Aw, love what was said about the adult costars... Seems like the kids really look up to them; especially Alan Rickman. Heck I'd be so nervous if I had to work with him... He's just great!

I agree - he does just seem to be a really nice guy. Everyone always says how nice Dan is as well. No wonder they get along so well.
