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.

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.
