Movie Magic Magazine Feature on Future of Harry Potter Films
MoviesMovie Magic Magazine, on newsstands and in bookstores now, talks of the last three Harry Potter films, “Order of the Phoenix, “Half-Blood Prince,” and “Deathly Hallows” in a multiple page spread in their January 2008 issue. Featuring scores of previously released photos from the “Order of the Phoenix” filming, the magazine contains interviews with Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), and Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling. In the interview with Dan Radcliffe, he speaks briefly of returning to the set after a filming break while Rupert, in his interview, speaks of the romantic turn taking place between his character and Hermione Granger. On that subject, he says:
“Filming a kiss scene or a love scene, that would be awkward, I think. I imagine the first time we do it, we might just burst into laughter, because of course we’re friends, and it’s just going to be strange at first. Of course, with movies, you have to film things over and over again, so eventually we’ll get it right, but the first time, if we have to kiss, it’s just going to be awkward as anything. Still, I think I’d like Ron’s kiss to be very enthusiastic. Harry’s first kiss was very nice, but I think Ron is going to be very enthusiastic about finally kissing Hermione.”
In addition to a look at the making of the fifth film, this magazine features Director David Yates and Producer David Heyman discussing beginning work on the sixth film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Photos and reports, we first brought you back in October, showing some of the first of the on-location filming of “Half-Blood Prince” in Lacock, England, were also included in this extended feature on the Harry Potter movies.

Right on Rupert! I agree with Ron being very enthusiastic about his kiss w/ Hermione :) Woot. :D
I think Rupert’s comment about kissing Hermione is not all that true. I think that at first Ron should be hesitant, because deep down I think Ron is scared of Hermione and what she thinks of him, but when he realises that it’s ok, he will be mare enthusiastic. THat’s just what I think.
i love harry potter stuff.most of all i love harrys movies.i cant wait untiil he make a nother 1.
love
breealthough… we never saw a kiss between them unitl DH in the books…. so i think that could be later on?
Rupert is sooooo kind I love him so much, and i am extrememly excited about viewing the course of their (film) relationship. I love all of them, and I hope those movies will turn out to be spectacularly amazing.
I got this magazine on January 5th….Leaky’s a bit late, eh? Also, this is the only “teen” magazine I read because it’s the only one with lots of Dan in it!
Rupert is so cute! I can’t wait for the kissing scenes in the movies. All of them should be fantastic.
I love Ruperts take on doing the kiss. I agree it has to be enthusiatic. This relationship and kiss has been building up from book one.
As much as I hope Rupert said that quote, it really doesn’t sound like him.
Oh ,my god-’’’Ron is going to be very enthusiastic about FINALLY kissing Hermione’‘-that’s absolutely right!!
“I think Ron is going to be very enthusiastic about finally kissing Hermione.” Spot on, Rupert!
Go Rupert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we want enthusiastic kiss!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so enthusiastic to see these last two films. I do think they are getting better and better.
And why isn’t this magazine available in Holland??!!
“Enthusiastic”, lol. Well, you cannot say the guy doesn’t know his character :P

I really like Movie Magic. It always devotes a large part of the mag (probably over half) to one particular film, so if that’s the movie you’re into, you get pages and pages of photos and info. It’s definitely worth getting whenever they feature a movie I like.
