Natalia Tena to shoot Half-Blood Prince December/January
In a press junket interview (from July), in which she converses entirely in Spanish, Natalia Tena (Tonks) discusses how she got the role in Order of the Phoenix and mentions that she starts filming Half-Blood Prince sometime between December 2007 & January 2008.
A translated transcript can be read below;
Quote:
Q: Well, tell us how you got into the film? NT: Oh...well, they were looking for the role of Tonks.
That's a new character in this book...and my agent heard that, and he sent me. I got an audition...and here I am.
Q: Really? That quickly? NT: No! no, no. When I entered...I didn't knew anything about Harry Potter. I haven't read the books or seen the movies.
I didn't have a clue! I'd entered the room and...I only knew that this witch could change her hair colour. So...I entered and tripped with a chair. And she's really clumsy! I sat down and I started to tell the director that, when I was younger, I used to change my hair a lot. When I was depressed I had it black, and I cut it myself. And when I was happy I had it orange. Or had another piercing. You know!
I used to change my clothes a lot to. And the director was like "She is Tonks! she's the girl!"
Q: How was it to arrive to a set were everybody knows each other? Did you felt out of place at the beginning? NT: No, because I arrived in april and not to do any scenes, just to try the costume and everything. And, little by little, when I started to to my scenes, I'd already knew everyone. I was there with the whole family. So it wasn't difficult at all.
Q: When are you going to start your scenes for the next movie? NT: I don't know. They say that the're going to star in september-october, but I don't start to work 'til december-january. Just like before...so I'm not sure when. I think the screenplay is not even finished yet, so.
Q: And you're going to work with the same director, so that'll be good for you. What did you like the most of working with him? NT: He is a really sweet director, when you enter to a room he's like Oh, How are you Like a child, when he's thrilled, he jumps.
And he's so sweet and gentle. And I'd never saw him yell, he was never upset. 'Cause very director you work with, they have a bad day or the're upset, the same thing happens with actors, and they get mad with the camera man, with guy that does the light.
But he is nice with everyone, a really awesome person!
Q: Which of the scenes is your favorite? NT: I love all the scenes with Umbridge! I think she's really talented, and the way she laughs! She's a psycho!! and with the kittens that she has on the plates... I love her! I think that she's perfect!
Q: And which one of your scenes? NT: The one with the brooms, no doubt!
Q: Obviously you have a lot of energy, I mean, now that I've see you, your perfect for your role! But, you have plans to do completly different roles...or... NT: Yeah..well. What I like the most it's theatre, I like 'cause you loose yourself to it. There's not a camera, you are not important, the ones that matter are the audience. Doing films is so different...I don't have the same conection. And in movies...I've always made small roles, y' know? I don't have the experience to know how a leading role is like...it would be different; I think I would have a better time. I would love to do a very quiet role, a girl that doesn't says a word and is always polishing her nails and stuff, something completely different of what I am...'cause I'm always the crazy girl, always. I would like the repressed girl.
Q: Something completly opossite to you? NT: Yes, yes.
I liked her as Tonks I think she was very good,but I wish they put more of Tonks in the film so they moight hopefully put abit more in the next and they will have to put the Lupin/Tonks in cos of book 7 so hopefully they wil make me happy and put it in.....Im rambling now so im going to shut up lol x

I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It wasreal. It did happen.
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.
