In a recent interview with Harry Potter stars Dan discusses Order of the Phoenix and the sixth book, while Emma and Rupert discuss their characters as well as how they feel about rumors of them leaving the series:
DVD Review: Do you ever worry about reading each new Potter book in case you don't like it?
Dan: When the sixth book came out, if it hadn't been good, I would have thought, "Oh, that's disappointing, do I really want to do this?" But I read the book and really enjoyed it, so the idea of being in the film isn't daunting, it's exciting.
DVD Review: What are you looking forward to most in the next film?
Dan: All the teaching stuff, when Harry forms the DA. I think that's all really interesting and heroic, but understated heroic stuff. And what I think is really fantastic about the fifth one is Harry's relationships with Neville Longbottom and Sirius Black. Particularly Neville, because they have so much in common and they don't know it.
DVD Review: Do you feel you're becoming more or less like your characters as the films go on?
Rupert: We've all been together for so long and worked together for so long, we don't have to act at being friends because we all are.
Emma: I remember, during the first two films particularly, denying very strong that I was even close to Hermione's character. But after the third one and particularly now I'm thinking that she might not be such a bad role model. So actually I don't mind too much.
Rupert: Ron and me have both got ginger hair and I'm quite scared of spiders. Stupid things like that.
DVD Review:There are constant rumours that each film will be your last. Are you happy to do more?
Rupert: I've just finished school so I've got nothing else to do...
Emma: What I would say about working on the Harry Potter films is that every day is different and every set is different, and you do learn something new every day. And there are always new actors. I feel that it's still challenging me, definitely.

It's great that they are looking forward to doing this. What would be bad would be if they were to hate doing it, then quit. What would we do with another "Harry Potter"? I can't imagine anyone else playing any of those roles!

I love what Dan said about OotP and HBP! I agree with him. I'm sure he will do it brilliantly because he perfectly understand the books and his character.

That is really, really cool. And it's good that they want to continue filming the Potter movies, they wouldn't be the same without the current Trio..

I love interviews. They make me happy!!! I could watch Special Feature DVDs forever. Perhaps it's because I love meeting new people and it's like getting to know them or something. I don't know. Either way, hooray for interviews!

Haha I think it's hilarious that Rupert is actually afraid of spiders, especially since it has increasingly less to do with the books. I'm sure he wouldn't want to admit whether or not he is awkward around girls and such though. Emma sounds like a smart kid. I love that Dan reads the books. I wish they all would.

I was going to agree with Mrs Potter about how weird it is when the main characters are replace, but it seems like just about everyone is thinking the same way...so, I guess I agree with everyone. I'm not altogether sure I'd be interested in seeing the movies if Rupert, Emma or Dan leave - it would be too weird.

I love these combo interviews! I can't wait to get the dvd and see all the new ones :)
I would be upset if they all didn't finish off the series...I know I read somewhere that Emma was one of the last to sign for OotP, and the movie would not be the same without her, or one of the original characters.
