Jessie Cave talks Lavender Brown, friendship with Emma Watson

Scholastic has released a new interview with Jessie Cave, who spoke about how the fans have treated her since being cast as Lavender Brown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, adjusting to life on the Leavesden set, her friendship with costar Emma Watson, and who she'd like to play besides the young Gryffindor. A new photo of Ron and Lavender from the sixth film was attached to the article, which can be found in our galleries.

Q: When you were reading the Harry Potter books, did you see yourself as the character?
Jessie: Not at all, quite the opposite. I mean I read Half-Blood Prince actually weirdly maybe six months before I got the call to an audition. And when I first read the book I didn't like Lavender at all, and found her really annoying. So then to read it again with me in mind playing her, it was very different. I suddenly realized that actually she's just got this huge crush on a boy. And she does just get heartbroken as well. So I had a lot of empathy for her, as opposed to really disliking her.

Q: She probably is one of the characters fans really don't like. What is their reaction to you?
Jessie: I've gotten loads of really sweet letters really loving Lavender and thinking Ron and Lavender should be together and stuff like that. I don't know. I think she's a source of humor in the film. She's not a caricature but she's very nearly a caricature and I think the response to her is funny.

Quote:

Q: Was it strange coming into an established series where these people had grown up together? Did you have that sort of "new girl in town" vibe?
Jessie: Yeah, it was incredibly strange given that I've watched them onscreen and read the books since I was young. But it was a relief to meet them and to realize they are actually really normal. They were all lovely and welcoming. It was a brilliant experience.

Quote:

Q: Who do you think you bonded with most?
Jessie: On set? Definitely Emma [Watson who plays Hermione]. I really got on with Emma really well. I thought she was brilliant.

Quote:

Q: Was it easy or difficult for you to play the character?
Jessie: She was really quite liberating to play. It would be nice to be that free with your emotions and your feelings, and profess your love to people. She's quite energetic and so she's quite fun to play.

Q: What is the best memory that you're going to take away?
Jessie: I think the best memory will be my final day of shooting [Half-Blood Prince] and we were over there in the Weasley Wizard Sweet Shop, which I just love because I used to be an illustrator. I did art. And every single box of sweets was decorated and designed and was beautiful and I just remember thinking, "This is brilliant." But not only that, it was because I knew it was coming to an end the filming. It was such a beautiful day and I remember being so happy that I'd been in this film, and I just remember I loved everything about it.

Quote:

Q: If you could play another character in the Harry Potter series, who would it be?
Jessie: I'd love to play Professor Trelawney or Professor Dolores Umbridge, because they're eccentric characters and I love the glasses Trelawney wears.

Great interview!!!!!:woot:
Jessie is very talented and realistic.:);)

quite frankly, i think she rec'd so much screen time because she was wonderful and hilarious as Lavender.

I think she did a great job a Lavender! cool interview! :)

Jessie is a very cool person!Nice interview! ^_^

She's awesome! I think if you do re-read the books and look at Lavender from a different perspective, you end up kind of pitying her instead of hating her. It's not like Ron is dating Hermione, so Lavender doesn't steal him from her. As Ron says in the movie, "he's a free agent," so he can date anyone he wants. It's not Lavender's fault that it takes Ron and Hermione three years to confess their love for each other.

But I think it's cool that Jessie is an illustrator, I think Rupert wants to be a cartoonist. Maybe they should date in real life. Rupert did say he likes quirky girls. :D

Oh she seems very sweet.

Great interview!!! :) :) ;)

Cool interview! I love Jessie. Especially her clothing. She looks alot like me in that aspect. xD

That was cool to read!! I like her

She is great, and did a wonderful job!

Jessie can be very funny!

She was a good Lavender.
And I'm sure she is a very nice person.

Shee did a good job playing Lavander!!Cool interview!

shes a great Lavender!

Jessie as Lavender is really good. And cool interview :)

Very cool. I thought she did a good job of making Lavender funny, but still annoying in character as well.

She portrayed Lavender really well. I enjoyed watching her scenes, even though I think Lavender is absolutely annoying.

cool. she's a good lavender.

She seems like a very nice girl.
And her answers are very smart.

Interesting, I too would probably hit off best with Emma, they're both so down to Earth!

Aww, she's so adorable! She has a really cool, eccentric style, too. I love her.

No matter what, Lav Lav still drives me nuts!

She did a great interview. I liked that I could see insight into the actor who plays Lavender, because we don't often get to see the minor actors' thoughts.

Great interview! Haha! :lol: I love the fact that she gets on with Emma the best when their characters don't get on with each other.

Everyone gets along with Emma! nice interview!

i hated lavender brown when I read the book but i loved jessie cave, she is very talented :) and funny and nice !!!!

Great interview! I met Jessie briefly and she's really lovely and friendly :D I thought she was amazing as Lavender, especially as she made you feel sorry for her in the end.

I so enjoyed reading this! Jessie sounds like a really nice, fun person.

I loved jessie in this movie!!! She is such an amzing actress and she is now in my list of most wanted to meet Potter actors! :D

Aww I like Lavender as a character ;D

that is a cool interview and jessie is awesome and she did a great job at playing Lavender.:banaboogie:

she's nice :) though she was annoying at the movie !

great interview jessies awesome

awesome interview!!!
:D

I liked her in the film, she was really funny. Quite realistic actually. Not sure why she fancied Ron though :/

rain is AWESOME! :D

wow...great interview! :D

Trelawney!!! :D OMG, if they do a remake of the HP films in a few decades, I'd root for Jessie to be Trelawney! :P

Jessie did a really good job of Lavender. I mean, it's like you want to hate her, but you know she's just a girl who falls helplessly in love.
But in the end, I must say; this smiley wins: :hermy2:

Love Jessie Cave. She's funny and outgoing. Her character Lavender Brown - talk about being quite outgoing. She's right, Lavender is not afraid to express her feeling at all. This was a fantastic interview. Very cool.

She likes Proffessor Trelawney's glasses?! :lol:
