I never got to see the David Yates one, poo, and how cool does Evanna look!
I think that Bonnie and Evanna probably got a joint interview because they were stationed in the same room (that’s just a guess, really). Emma was stationed in Dumbledore’s office by herself, for example.
Here’s the Bonnie/Evanna interview on YouTube http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pTVwXVXN2aM
Blimey, you lot really OVER analyse the most trivial things, don’t you? Who cares if Bonnie and Evanna were in the same room, as long as we got to hear from them. What’s happening is that we’re playing favourites, and are pitting the cast up against each other based on who we prefer.
By now, after 5 films we should realise that the main Trio get primary focus, then the rest in terms of who the media find the most interesting.
Bonnie probably won’t get any more publicity than what Katie Leung got around the GOF era, and Katie’s publicity was because she was playing Harry’s first love interest.
Most of us here have wanted Ginny to be more prominent in the films, and for Bonnie to get a bit more limelight, but we might have to face up to the fact that she may not. But the world will still turn.
