As the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD is set to be released this week, Australian paper The Sunday Herald Sun has now posted a lengthy feature on Harry Potter, featuring nine new video interviews with cast and crew from the fifth Harry Potter film. At the links below, you can watch new interviews with Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom( Katie Leung (Cho Chang), Imelda Staunton (Professor Umbridge), OotP Director David Yates and producer David Heyman. Among the many tidbits, Matt Lewis says in addition to acting in the movie, he worked as an assistant director on OotP, David Yates describes a bit more on the editing feature found on the DVD extras, and actress Imelda Staunton says she hopes to return in film seven as Umbridge for "Deathly Hallows." Many thanks to Sam and the Herald Sun for this. Enjoy!

    The questions the interviewer asked were really good

    The questions weren’t bad but I would have liked to hear more about the filming of HBP. I’m liking Bonnie’s hair more and more. She’s growing out her fringe! And Dan’s hair looks like it did during the PoA era. I’m sorry for bringing up the H-word, but they look good!

    @marissa, RE:Anyone else having trouble…. YEP! But I think that’s only because my system won’t pick up MOST UK transmissions…Sometimes, it does. Sometimes, it doesn’t. (Usually, not when I need it! Like NOW) ;<

    Marissa, the point of these interviews was to promote the OOTP DVD so that’s why we’re not hearing much about HBP. And I agree about Bonnie’s fringe! SO much better now! I’m honestly relieved, I was getting a bit nervous after seeing pics of her in July…

    Evanna has already been confirmed to be back. And, yes, people, we knew that Spinner’s End was happening before McCrory’s casting. Duh, Bonham Carter siad she was filming in Spring 08 and that’s her only scene in the book…

    I do think it’s odd that Bonnie and Evanna got a joint interview again, especially as Matt and Katie got to each have their own.

    All in all, though, the interviews were rather good. The interviewer seemed to know what she was talking about, which was nice.
