The Bulgarian premiere of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire took place this past weekend and Stanislav Ianevski (Krum) and director Mike Newell were on hand to discuss the movie.
Stan discussed
being a proud Bulgarian, the process of being in the movie and his desire to remain in the movie business. He also discussed meeting the stars during the first days of shooting:
At first we were introduced to the world of Harry Potter in a very special and warm way, we had two weeks of playing together in order to get to know each other. As for the first shooting day, we were, in the labyrinth and everything there is very scary, everything moves and you live it exactly the way you see it in the movie. I wanted to impress Mike and prove to him that I was really the best for the part, so naturally I was worried.
Mike Newell discussed how many times he watched the other Potter movies, reading the books, meeting JK Rowling and the reason behind changing to music composer Patrick Doyle.
I wanted a different composer because in the film there was a tremendous amount of music that the actors had to work with, dancing music, walking music, there's lots and lots of music. So it's very difficult for me to work with a composer who is 6,000 miles away. And John Williams lives in Los Angeles, so I needed somebody who was right there. And I've worked with Pat, Patrick Doyle, who is a great composer, twice before, also on Donnie Brasco and he is a great man, to work with, he gives you a lot.
Thanks to Rhonda for the tip.

Interesting, i really love this movie, more new things, new actors, rather than focused on the trio, and i love the way stan talks, slowly and heavy accent, yet very hot, and of course the best director Mike Newell !

Interesting and different than the other premieres. I find the differences between the different countries very enlightning. I wonder how much of this will make the DVD.

That was really interesting about the change in the music. I can understand needing to work with someone closer.

So he got to make the decision not to have John WIlliams compose? Well, that was his only bad one. I suppose I can live with it. But this music just doesn't have the imapct of the others. Williams' themes are the sound of Harry Potter. This score just sounded like background music.

I really do like the composer choice for this film. I think the music was amazing, as was the entire film, I suppose.

I'm interested to see what kinds of roles Stan has after his debut in GoF. Too bad he will (likely) not be returning for another film. He really was a very good Krum.
Even though I love John Williams, I agree with Mike Newell that Patrick Doyle's compositions were perfect for GoF. I was a little afraid of the change, but I'm glad it happened!

I thought it was a good idea to change it up a bit. While the music in the previous movies are spectacular, I did enjoy the music in this in well. It really captured the movie and showing them grow up. If we had that magical sound throughout the entire movie I don't believe the effect would have been so prominent.

I like that Mike Newell really wanted the input with the film score. I think it shows real dedication and not just banking on star quality of those he would be hiring, like Williams.

I liked how they got into their parts and not just went to be part of the movie and not think about it at all.

I really liked this:
One really interesting thing happened, while we were talking to her in Scotland. She's very determined that nobody shall know what's going to be in the next story until the next story is published. She has an eight year-old daughter, she was eight then, and at one point during the conversation the daughter came in, and was listening to what we were saying and suddenly said: "Mummy, what's going to happen to so and so in book number six? " And Joan looked at her very, very calmly and said: "Darling, you know I won't tell you that."
Do we all have to call JKR, Joan now?!

Thats cool Stan likes acting, he probably is disappointed that Krum doesnt appear in any other HP's though.

Stan did a great job for a first time actor. I thought the scene where he's excersizing by the lake being followed by all those girls was priceless. Perfect for the role.

These were interesting interviews. To get a perspective from the director helps broaden our knowledge.
Stan sounds like a nice guy. I hope he has a great career as an actor!
