| | Kenneth Branagh wanted to be Harry's dad
MTV recently held an interview with Kenneth Branagh, who plays Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
In the interview, he talks about what he wanted to happen in Deathly Hallows, how it would have been nice to come back for Order of the Phoenix and how he was in the running to direct Prisoner of Azkaban. Quote:
But if Kenneth Branagh had his way, he’d be one thing more…
“Harry’s dad!” the actor joked, laughing about his experience reading the seventh novel while hoping for big things from his character so that he could return to the series. “I think everybody who had even been in one [of the movies] was keeping their fingers crossed when that seventh book came out. Am I Harry’s dad? Could I be Harry’s dad?!? I felt like writing a note to JK to say, ‘Have you ever considered this as a plotline?’”
Quote:
“It would have been nice to have been in [Phoenix]. He was quite a popular character, Lockhart. There was no one quite like him,” Branagh said. “[But they never called] to my deep disappointment.”
Quote:
“I was in the running to direct the one that Alfonso Cuaron did [”Prisoner of Azkaban”]. It was while I was working on the second one,” he revealed. “They all felt for a minute, maybe it’d be great if Ken did one. It didn’t work out. It would have been interesting.
“I think there is a limit to what a director can bring to the films for reasons I’m sure you can imagine,” he continued. “[But] The thing that really drew my interest was working with those kids. I liked them very much. I thought perhaps that their potential hadn’t yet been realized, or at least I felt they were hungry and were about make huge strides as actors.”
Finally he spoke about whether he'd like to direct the final film. Quote:
“I think they’ve now just got such a great bunch in the stable between Newell, Cuaron, Yates, and Columbus that they’ll probably choose from the ones that have already done one,” he said, squashing any chance he’ll come back. “[And they’ll] do very nicely indeed.”

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

| Ultimate Potterite Original original After reading that, he was a rather good choice for Lockhart, wasn't he? He seems a bit...excitable. |
