In a new interview
with Harry Potter trio Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint they discuss the upcoming sixth movie, Half-Blood Prince, the actress playing Lavender Brown (Rupert gives her first name) and the success of the last film.
How is filming going on the Half-Blood Prince?
Daniel: It's going very well. So far we've been doing a lot of work with Slughorn, who is being played brilliantly by Jim Broadbent.
What's the actress who plays Lavender Brown like?
Rupert (Ron): I was involved with the Lavender Brown audition and the whole Lavender thing. Her name's Jessie and she is really cool and it's going to be really funny.
Emma: She seems really sweet and perfect for the role of Lavender. The casting is so good and I am looking forward to her scenes with Ron. I think it's going to be quite a comic film.
Also, in another interview director David Yates adds additional comments on JK's recent news on Dumbledore by saying:
He's a wonderful character, Dumbledore - graceful, wise, powerful, quirky, terrific sense of humour, loves knitting. There's a jumble of things in there and his sexuality is just another thing.
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) added that a younger Dumbledore would make a good partner for Luna and that she told JK that:
If only Dumbledore was a 100 years younger they would be perfect, and I put that to JK Rowling. But as we know now, that's never going to happen.

The interview was cool, can't wait for HBP, and to see what Lavendar looks like, hopefully she is a good actress and they've picked right.

I wonder if we will get to see a photo of what Lavender will look like? She is very lucky to get a great role, and I am sure she will have a great time.

As Far as the "news" concerning Dumbledore, I think that everyone should just move on..It doesn't affect the story...
For the interview, I am hoping they do HBP justice, which I am sure they will..Looking forward to seeing the movie and having a bit more comedy in it with Ron (Rupert) I am so so excited about... :)

That's something good to know, about there being more comedy in this movie. There is a lot of flash back scenes in the book by way of the pensieve, so anything that can be added with Ron's character to bring humor into it will be a plus.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

The interview video was kind of goofy. I can't wait to see Lavender and Ron in the next film and I guess we are going to see more of Ginny in the next one (obviously).

RON's all up in heRmiONe says:
I read about this last night, cool interview. So...they finally chose who is going to play Lavender Brown, when I heard this news(especially the part where Rupert was invoved in picking the actress and that he was involved in making the final choice), my heart just sank. Not only because of Ron going out with Lavender instead of Hermione, but because of seeing someone else kissing my Rupey(its half and half)!!! I hate her... I don't mean that, of course, but you know how it is when you're in love with an actor and you see someone else kissing them...I do like the name Jessie though. If Rupert picked her, and the producers picked her, then I think she'll be good for the part. I can't wait to see it, but I know watching its going to make me feel sick. I hope they put in the scene where Hermione's yellow birds attack him.
And I totally agree with Evanna. A younger Dumbledore would make a perfect match for Luna.

I really don't see why do some people think Albus is now a "bad character". He was a brilliant man, and his homosexuality, as others stated, does not play a roll in the books...
