In the first of two new articles (see also above story on Christian themes) MTV has now posted a short interview with J.K. Rowling where she reiterates again how she revealed details in advance to several actors about the fates of their characters in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Saying she told all of the cast bits about the fates of their individual characters, Jo says that she “told Emma Watson the most.” She also tells again the story that actor Dan Radcliffe got a bit more than he wanted about the fate of his character, Harry Potter.
“I went down to the set and Dan [Radcliffe] and I had a real chat and it was great. And I said to him ‘Dumbledore’s giving me a bit of trouble.’ And he said, ‘But Dumbledore’s dead!’ And then immediately ‘Don’t tell me! Don’t tell me!’”
But that didn’t stop Radcliffe from “pretending that he knew the ending of book seven,” Rowling laughed, saying his loose lips got him his just desserts. “He went down the corridor to the other kids, because they were still being schooled at the time, and he said, ‘She’s told me, I know what happens,’” Rowling related. “Of course, then he was besieged and started to panic.”
“He got a little taste of what it’s like to be me,” the author cackled. “Serves him right!”
“I told all of them little bits, [but] I told Emma Watson the most,” Rowling said of the actress who plays Hermione Granger, who in the seventh novel finally gets her romantic moment with Ron Weasley. “She nearly fell off the chair laughing when I told her who she had to kiss.”
“But if it’s faithful to the story she has to kiss both of them,” Rowling added, indicating Harry as well as Ron. “Which I think is kind of funny.”
Love It! I hope they put the locket Harry and Hermione in the film it shows Ron’s struggle and I would love to see Rupert get the chance to do that scene. Having Hermione kiss both Ron and Harry will help all those H/H shippers get there moment too.
Hah! knew it! She’s said before that the trio all knew more than they let on, and they really did have to sell the Hr/r angle, especially with all the D/E chemistry sizzling in the 3rd movie, even at the premiere (remember the handholding? lol). Chris Columbus actually made it a big deal too, so I wonder if he also knew more. Although it was obvious in book 2, that Ron had strong feelings for Hermione (witness his sad look at her desk when she was petrified), they were kind of young then.
Those kids did a good job.
what comes across in this interview is what a great relationship JK has with the trio! And they certainly repaid her trust, because i for one believed it when the trio constantly stated they knew nothing about their characters fate. We should sign them up for MI5!
another thing that intrigues me is. Did Dan know what Emma knew, or Rupert know what Dan knew, or were they all carrying their own secrets close to their own hearts! I can imagine Emma chuckling to herself with THAT knowledge!
yeah but i don’t want to see Emma kiss anyone on screen,cause i wanna kiss Emma Watson. I am so hugely passionatly,madly,massively in love with Emma Watson. Emma is just the most beautiful womena alive ever.I mean look at those gorgeous eyes,that beautiful face,that lovely nose,those sexy lips.everything about Emma is perfect and beautiful.

I definately hope hermione gets to kiss both boys in the movie- it was a crucial point when the h/hr kiss shows ron’s true jealousy. Plus I would just love to be emma then!
I too really want to see that locket scene! Dan and Emma do have great chemistry, and this would be a heart stopping moment for H/H and D/E shippers.
Additionally, I would thoroughly enjoy watching Rupert act out that scene. It’s an intense moment for Ron and it speaks volumes about the journey he had to travel to remain by Harry’s side.
It should be in the movie, it explains alot about his insecurities toward Hermione and Harry. Plus explains why he bailed out on them. Rowling and Emma seem to get along really well. She probably knew Emma would get a kick out of kissing both of them. Yeah, I wonder if Rupert and Dan knew also? What a little secret for her to have. LOL.
"I wasn't paying attention," said Myrtle dramatically. "Peeves upset me so much I came in here and tried to [i]kill[/i] myself. Then, of course, I remembered that I'm -- that I'm --"[br]"Already dead," said Ron helpfully.
