Geraldine Somerville talks Lily Potter in new interview
 
In the Sunday edition of the UK's The Sun, actress Geraldine Somerville (Lily Potter in the Harry Potter films), speaks about her new acting project, ITV1's drama The Children, and about how she reacted to getting the role of Harry Potter's mother in the films.

Quote:

It was in 2001’s Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone that she first appeared as the boy wizard’s mother Lily Potter.

But Geraldine admits the role isn’t as exciting as it seems, because Lily appears to Harry only occasionally from beyond the grave.

She added: “I kind of found it quite frustrating. When I first got the part I was really excited, thinking ‘Yessss, Harry Potter’s mum, this is going to be great’ and then I read the books . . . ‘Oh, OK, so she’s dead’."
A photo of Geraldine with her onscreen family was featured in the newspaper and can be seen in our galleries.

Haha thats actually pretty funny. Thought she might have a big part and then finds out shes in the movie for about 3 mins.

That quote is hilarious. It makes her sound so vibrant. I bet she'd be fun to hang out with.

Yes! I agree, I couldn't help but laugh when I read that! Hopefully she'll get more screentime in the Deathly Hallows movie when that comes around. :)

Well, it is a bit part, but still....very crucial part!

hermione714 08-24-2008 02:04 PM

hehehe...thats funny your all excited because your in harry potter then suddenly you find out the character your playing is dead. A bit of a disappointment! :D

Wonderstruck 08-24-2008 02:10 PM

Yeah, I agree with her. It is cool that she is playing Harry Potter's mom, but she's not really in the movies or books very much. But I'm sure they'll have her in the Deathly Hollows in the forest scene.

Potter for Minister 08-24-2008 02:34 PM

That's funny and yet sad at the same time.

Zoe 08-24-2008 03:14 PM

haha. I think I'd be a bit disappointed with only being in the Potter films for a scene every now and then. But at least she gets to be somewhere in the films.

ebony_wandson 08-24-2008 03:30 PM

As much as she is too old to play Harry's mum, if you're sticking to cannon, she looks exactly as i had always imagined, and it will be nice to see her back in the 7th film, to walk Harry to his "demise".

Think I will give that show a peruse as well, if i remember its on

evanna11 08-24-2008 03:37 PM

Haha, that's funny:P

ladycplum 08-24-2008 03:40 PM

I wish there were more interviews with Geraldine and especially with Adrian. Granted the roles are relatively minor, but hey, they're kind of sort of the reason there's a story to begin with!

BlazeTroy 08-24-2008 04:50 PM

Nice :) Cute pic!

Hermionespell 08-24-2008 04:52 PM

LOL, she didn't know that Lily Potter was dead already when she accepted the role. >_< Very nice picture!

Melted 4 HP 08-24-2008 05:08 PM
