Richard Griffiths talks kids & Potter
 
In a new interview with the New York Post online, Richard Griffiths, who portrays Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter films, has spoken about how kids react to him, as well mentioning the young lead actors.

Quote:

The trouble with being a regular in the Harry Potter movies is that "you can't go anywhere without being bothered by kids," grumbles Richard Griffiths, who plays Harry's mean Uncle Vernon in one of the most popular movie franchises of all time. Fortunately, Griffiths adds, "Vernon is the most unsympathetic character, so the kids expect me to be horrible. And who am I to disoblige them? I mean, I love kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one."
Quote:

As for his kid co-stars in the Potter films - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint - Griffiths says that as the movies get "darker and increasingly complex, massive acting demands are going to be made on them." And he wonders: "Will they have the emotional technique to do it? It's going to be very interesting to find out."

anusha.harrypotter 04-19-2006 03:22 PM

gud interview :)

Eveline 04-19-2006 03:23 PM

Cool interview, and Richard is right, you can't disappoint your fans, hihi

MissyRee 04-19-2006 03:25 PM

nice interview!! :D

XxSonierxX 04-19-2006 03:26 PM

Just because Richard plays a mean character, doesnt mean he is a mean person. Everyone has to remember that actors only play CHARACTERS. The reason they act is either because they like to do it or they do it because they become rich. But, it is called ACTING. I also think that it will be very interesting to see how the Harry Potter stars take on the very important and very difficult roles of the upcoming Harry Potter films. This was a very good interview....

:slyth:

mrs_random_cheese 04-19-2006 03:39 PM

I LOVE his sense of humour, he's brilliant.
But on the topic of the kids, I'm sure they'll rise to the challenge. Dan is improving greatly with each film, I'm really impressed by him actually, and Rupert is just naturally brilliant :yes: .

starlightangel 04-19-2006 03:49 PM

I like his children comment about the eating!

Yeah, seems like a nice ugy. But c'mon, that 'couldn't eat a whole one' remark's a little out of order, don't you think?

redrooster 04-19-2006 09:17 PM

annettegreen505 04-19-2006 11:19 PM

Melissapetey31 04-19-2006 11:24 PM

Is it just me or does he sound unconfident about their acting skills? I don't know about this guy.

Fortune_Cookie 04-20-2006 12:33 AM

Nice little tidbits from Uncle Ver--I mean, Richard Griffiths. :P I feel sorry for him...getting harassed by little kids...

PurestEvile 04-20-2006 12:37 AM

I agree, the expectation is going to be heavy on the three leads, esp with Dan.

Musicroxmysox2009 04-20-2006 01:01 AM

I don't really agree with his take on the fans. I think it depends on the person. Personally I would want to see what the actors/actresses are like when their not in character. That's just me though. Sounds like a good interview.

Rupert_Grint_Luver_4ever 04-20-2006 01:07 AM

kewlios. Awesome. Great interview!

kahel16 04-20-2006 01:58 AM

lala_favehp 04-20-2006 12:01 PM

richard seems to be nice *well I dont know him much coz im too far :lol:*

Maxilocks 04-20-2006 01:04 PM

*Pets Richard*
 
The way he speaks, I have a feeling he’s kind of bitter inside about kids expecting him to horrible. *sighs* :loved: I love Richard, and I find his acting amazing. He makes the perfect Vernon Dursley, and he is a terrific person. :loved: I hope he gets a bigger part in the Seventh Movie, which obviously means that – in order for this to be done – Jo will simply to give Vernon Dursely a bigger part in the seveth book, and give him some time to confess to harry that he was jealous of Harry all along, and did N-O-T hate him. :P

*luffs on Richard*

Always and Forever,
Maxie
