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!
They won’t load for me either so YouTube postings and/or any suggestions for fixing it are highly appreciated. I see a Loading bar after which nothing happens.
Matt is looking better. I actually felt Emma’s interview was interesting this time. Usually not to much of a fan. I love Evanna, wish she had her own interview. Too bad she had to share time with Bonnie, who is looking awful nowadays. Who cares about the fringe when I can’t figure out what is going on with her face. Plus she doesn’t come off as too intelligent, Evanna is far more interesting to listen to.
I suppose these interviews were made recently. Which means this is how they will look in HBP, and that’s grat because I really really like how Dan looks, I love his hair. And I have to admit he is still the one who gives better interviews, he is the one who looks more confortable, like he is just speaking with a friend. The others young actors don’t look very natural.
In case anyone’s as stupid as me, my problem was simply due to using Firefox. The videos won’t play on Firefox but are fine on IE. Hopefully that will help someone. I’m so excited seeing these interviews, I think it’s great that the press is starting.
@beth: “IE”??? I don’t know what that is, but I’m sure my hubbie does. He get’s home, around midnight, so I’ll get it from him. HE lets me do my ‘Harry Potter’ thing, and he LOVES all the books. He even watched the DVD trailer, on TV, at work! (It was on CNN! Can you believe that?) I can’t wait! Thanks, beth! Yer a doll!

Kamion—I don’t want to come off as sounding rude, but sometimes people can’t help it when they stutter.
Evanna looked really cute this time round. The best looking (dress wise) out of all of them—including Katie, which is strange since she’s the best dressed, usually.
I love Dan… he’s always such a talker. And ever so polite, shaking the woman’s hand afterwards.

The interviewer called Bonnie “the envy of the world” and you can tell it’s true judging from certain catty comments on here. coughSamcough
Bonnie looked beautiful and I am SO looking forward to her having a larger role. Finally! I hope to hear and see much more from her in the coming months.
The youtube thing?.. I seriously need that too. When I tried to watch the video it uploaded a few seconds at a time so i really couldn’t udnerstand what it was about and I couldn’t go back and start it from the beginning to watch it all. I have extremely slow dial-up so all that works it youtube and that even takes half an hour to load for at least three minutes of footage!. Youtube!!!
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.
"[Rita Skeeter] can turn --"[br]Hermione pulled a small sealed glass jar out of her bag.[br]"-- into a beetle."[br]"You're kidding," said Ron. "You haven't... she's not..."[br]"Oh yes she is," said Hermione happily, brandishing the jar at them.
