There’s even a kiss in the heat of battle at one point. Radcliffe: Yeah, absolutely, very much so. Q: What happens with Ginny? Do Harry and Ginny have their moment? So, when the sixth film came out, I was, “Oh, I can actually seem genuine when I talk about the fifth and say” it was an exciting moment for me. I was actually quite relieved in a way that it remained my favorite after the sixth because I was so tired of kind of every year when you guys would interview me and it was just, “What’s your favorite film?” “Oh, coincidentally, the one that’s just come out.” (Laughs) But, it was always the truth. Hopefully, that will be over taken by seven: parts 1 and 2. Radcliffe: I haven’t well, so far, the fifth. I think it’s possible, I don’t think it’s that I’ll never be on a set this close again, but there’s people here who I have, as you say, I’ve known for 10 years and I’m very, very close to, so it will be a sad day. But, equally, I’ll miss the crew and the sense of family that we have here is something that it will be very hard to recreate on other films. But no, it’ll be exciting to go onto other things and see what’s out there and that’ll be great. That will be quite, not upsetting, it won’t be upsetting, but yeah, it’ll be a moving kind of emotional day in saying goodbye to a lot of people. It really is a very real prospect, the fact that one day I’m gonna come in here in a few weeks and go into the makeup rooms for the last time. Radcliffe: It’ll be very odd and it’s not far away now at all. Q: Is it particularly upsetting time, or a joyous moment to be done? I mean, ’cause I don’t think my instinct is ever to be over the top at all, but it is to be expressive as people are, you know? I think David wants the character of Harry to be quite internalized and not to project all that emotion outwards necessarily which I think is quite a… for somebody who has been through what Harry has, it’s kind of quite an understandable course. But, mainly it’s kind of on the day you just sort of knock about ideas and yeah, and the thing that David’s very, very keen for me to do is to show less and less. If a very big scene’s coming up, we’ll obviously sit down the week before and talk through it. Very often, David, when we start to rehearse it will say well, just kinda stop me and go, “I think that’s” it’s just a conversation really. Radcliffe: I think to a large extent I come to the scene knowing what Harry is feeling and I’ve got quite solid ideas generally on what the point of the scene is and where Harry is in the scene and how it should be played.
Q: How do you figure out what Harry should be doing or feeling, and then what David still brings to the table and how you guys figure that out? But, that shouldn’t, and I don’t think will, overpower either the characters or the story, those are still the main two things that will be the focus hopefully.
The action sequences are pretty relentless in the second part, you know, it’s very, it’s nonstop kind of action to a degree. And it does, I think, if it’s right, it should have a very, very good balance. It starts off not at Hogwarts, like presumably quite a way before that still, but I mean, once you get into it, it’s nonstop. Actually, no ’cause we don’t know where it starts off yet because it’s changing. And the second film essentially is the final battle, I mean, from start to finish. Also, the first film is about the gathering of information and getting all the information in place and all the things we need to go towards the final battle. And when I was going into them, I was watching it I was just thinking, “My God, how different the seventh film is going to be,” because to see these characters outside of what has become such a familiar environment is hopefully going to make people see in a very different way. I mean, it’s first of all, people will be seeing the kids outside of Hogwarts for the first time which is a big deal actually because we’d started filming seven by the time we were doing all the premieres for six.
WHAT HAPPENS IN HARRY POTTER DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 MOVIE
The first part is kind of like a… it’s a very strange sort of road movie in a way. Q: These two films Part 1 and Part 2 if you had to explain what the key differences are between the two, because when you’re going to be out talking about them, how are you going to explain Part 1? And then, how are you going to explain the difference?ĭaniel Radcliffe: They’re very different films. We’re kicking it off with Radcliffe and you can find a link to the other interviews at the bottom!
