Wright in Total Film Indonesia
Bonnie Wright talks to Total Film Indonesia about her key role in Dumbledore's Army as well as other things. Check out some of her interview below:

So Ginny, Luna and Neville are leading a resistance against the Death Eaters’ tyranny at Hogwarts. What was that like to play?
It clearly takes courage. This is the thing those three characters step up to, beginning in the fifth film, with the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore’s Army, and they really take on the responsibility. They’re the only ones left continuing this resistance. Obviously Hogwarts becomes a completely different place, it becomes incredibly threatening and stands for everything it didn’t stand for before, such safety, and everything we had there is completely gone. Because we have new headmasters and all these new rules.

Are they going to succeed?
There’s an amazing scene in the second part, where obviously Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts, and the other three have made this kind of hideout and haven, continuing Dumbledore’s Army in their own little way. I think that their dedication is pretty amazing, to keep that going, and I think that’s why people kind of love the three of those characters, really.

You’ve shot the Epilogue. Have you gone through an aging process?
Yes, it was a very bizarre thing to go through, really, to be able to have that chance to be suddenly made up to look mid-thirties. It’s was an exciting day but bizarre. Obviously, for me, it almost felt like a real cycle, because I started on that same platform, at the same age that Lily Potter, the youngest daughter of Ginny and Harry was, so it’s almost literally like looking back at myself.

Rowling says "No More Potter"



Last night was the premiere of the Deathly Hallows at the Alice Tully Hall in New York City, for a great overview of the events click here. Daniel Radcliffe revealed at the US Premiere of the Deathly Hallows that J.K. Rowling texted him to say that she would not be writing any more Harry Potter books.

Recent comments from the author led to much speculation that there would be future books about the wizard.

Daniel explains,"Basically, it amounted to the fact that she felt I had been very good in this Harry Potter film, and as a reward for that, she wasn't going to write any more Harry Potter books".

"I'm sure she will be writing other books. But I can pretty much guarantee that Harry will not be a feature."

Cast and Crew Premier - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.





HP4U at the first EVER screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt1, Leicester Square, London, Sunday, 6th November, 10am.

Today was the World premier showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt1 and what a pleasure it was to be there for this absolutely stunning, moving, emotional and funny film that it is.

As per the request of David Heyman for all reviews and spoilers to be kept until after the official Premier on Thursday just a few words to say that Part 1 of the final film is exceptional and sets the plot up to build to a mega climax.
From the opening tense scenes involving some of the major Actors right through to the end you are left just wanting more and more.
In a script which in itself is quite dark and tense it has been balanced wonderfully with some great humour which had the audience of all those involved in making it laughing so much. Both the Adult and Child Actors were on top form and once again David Yates brings the best out of them, with Emma Watson's performance being a highlight.

For HP4U this film was a personal triumph; with so many of the key scenes that we were present at on location being shown. Godrics Hollow, Dartford Tunnel, Black Park, Old Scotland Yard and Swinley Forest to name just a few - ALL of the EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes photos and set reports can be found in our archives, be SURE to check them and more out!

As for todays Premier itself, once again all 3 Cinema's in Londons Leicester Square were used and all three David's visited each one to say a few words of thanks and introduce the film. Quite a few of the Actors were present and we'll post photos in due course.

Next up, the 'Red-Carpet premier' - see you there!!!


The Simpsons....
Quick bit of news that this coming Thursday evening, Sky 1, for all UK viewers (check for ytour regional times), the one and only Daniel Radcliffe makes his Simpsons debut - dont miss!
