Scholastic.com has a new interview online today with Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy.) In this interview they discuss a variety of topics including their thoughts on Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, scenes from the books they wish had been filmed and the final Harry Potter novel. Quotes of interest:
Q: Are you both happy about the way your parts got more important in the last book?
Bonnie: Yeah I definitely was happy where
J.K. Rowling took the character of Ginny. I think if we were all told
at the first film where our characters would end up, I don't think any
of us would have imagined. It's just really enjoyable and sort of
unnerving at the beginning when you do read the last book.
Tom: Seriously. When that came out I was like, I'm not
going to read it. I'm going to wait for the script. I don't want to be
reading bits in the book and thinking I can't wait to do that and then
find out it's not going to be featured. And that lasted about an hour,
and within it being released in a day I read the whole thing!
Q: Is there any particular scene from any of the books that you wish you could have filmed but wasn't filmed?
Tom: They cut out actually very little. There was a thing
in the second film where Jason [Lucius Malfoy] and I did a scene at
Borgin and Burkes and it was the first time that it was father and son
together. And that answered a lot to me why Draco is like that.
Unfortunately it was never featured in the film. It was on the DVD as a
deleted scene, so I got to watch it, which was cool. But no, everything
else we've shot. Especially on these last two [films]. Everything —
when I read the book I thought, “I can't wait to shoot that.” It's all
there, so we're very excited
Q: How would you describe J.K. Rowling?
Bonnie: I always find it so surreal meeting her. This whole world literally is because of one person.
Tom: She's a very unassuming down-to-earth lady,
the most lovely lady. I was always taken away by how genuine she
seemed, and how unaffected by the fact that she's probably the world's
biggest author.

Q: What is your natural hair color?
Tom: It’s been a while so I couldn’t tell you. But I’ve been told my eyebrows [are the same as my natural hair color]. So I’m looking forward to finding out whatever it is.
Q: Tom, after this, would you like to switch it up from being the evil one to being the hero?
Tom: Completely. I’d like to do anything that contrasts this as much as possible really. Anything that doesn’t involve blond hair would also be a plus.

well and over at 411mania in the ubs movie news report they have a first look at deathly hollows, and all i could say is wow, it looked great, had yates talking about working on the final films and then the first trailer, with the trio out and about in the muggle world looking for the horucxes and looked great

Draco, especially, is developing into such a complex, enigmatic character. He’s starting to attract pathos even from those HP fans who literally couldn’t stand him in the previous novels. He’s one of Ms. Rowling’s best characters, and Tom plays him PERFECTLY.

Nothing that fascinating was featured in these interviews. I wish more media outlets would oblige us by letting us submit richer, deeper, more thoughtful questions instead of these trite ones with which we must endure.

It didn’t go deep because it was an interview for a children’s website. But, for what it was, it was good.

ok…
if i got the chance to sit down with these guys. i would ask them questions that people actually cared about.
this, “do you like your character” is getting so boring.
