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.

That was hilarious to watch. I was laughing right along with Emma. Thought it funny that he should be running room to room just to ask a question...It gave me a good chuckle...

Relly nice tidbits and thoughts. Hard to believe that there are only two films left. Then one has to wonder what comes next?

I am glad it is going to be more of a comic film. That is something that I missed from the fifth, it wasn't as funny.

Great information! I can't wait to see Ron snogging with Lavendar.
Interesting thought of Lavendar and DD...makes me get that sideways smirk.

Comic film? That's ... nice but I hope it's not entirely comic.
I can't understand why some people think Michael Gambon would change the way he plays Dumbledore after the revelation. I mean,the fact Dumbledore had feelings for another man is just a part of his complex character. But unfortunately,now he's known only as "the gay wizard".

Evanna is such a character, she's TOTALLY Luna and that makes me laugh what she said. I'm glad they've got some work in with Professor SLughorn on Half-Blood Prince, it'll probably be easier for him to "let loose" once the whole gang of Hogwarts is back on filming and all.

I Hate Jessie. Whoever She Is. Haha. When I Read The Book, I Was Like Oh My God, I Wish I Was Her, But Then Again, I Guess Nearly All The Girl Fans Where Wishing The Same Thing. She Is One Lucky Devil. Urgh.
