Well, I am glad that he did survive, and bring to life one of those characters we love to hate! He does have an inspiring story.

That was a nice interview. Not only reading about Jaime, but those little bits about the third movie. Slytherins and conga? Alan Rickman´s hairy legs? XD

Random thought....if Tom came up to me and dumped ice cream down my shirt, he would probably be down on the floor with a black eye in a matter of seconds...I have a brother so I get plenty of practice daily:P Anyway great report, loved all the little things like Alan Rickman in a dress saying "Hello, love" That just has to be in the DVD.

i loved that aticle! Nice that we can hear from the minor characters. All those behind the scenes tidbits were very funny! Like I never knew that Tom was the one who actually came up with the "I didn't know you could read" part. And the bum double was absolutely hilarious. I can't wait to see him in bigger roles after the Harry Potter movies are finished.

man it must have been tough being him. That would rock being friends with Tom. I wonder if they ever prank the main three.
