thanks for the link
although I hope the trio do not portray themselves for the “19 years later” it would be so awkard.

If the trio don’t portray themselves in the epilogue I’m gonna walk out.

I LOVE Dan

Be sure to catch the Inside the Actor’s Studio interview, too, tonight – sorry, Central Time Zone, it’s over, but it was just excellent!

AnaWeasley and whim have cancelled themselves out with their comments, so YAY! First post!

Good to hear the rumor debunked about Dan’s schedule being “the real reason” for bumping HBP.

Very good interview. Talking the DH movie almost makes you forget that HBP is a bit a ways yet. Almost.

(Actually, I don’t give a pair of fetid dingo’s kidneys about “first to post.” Which is good thing, seeing as Jordan and maestra2 squeezed in there.)

I have no idea how I’d like the Epilogue done. I liked it in the book, but figured it might not make it into the films at all since it is sort of superfluous to the main plot. But if I heard Dan Radcliffe correctly, it is in the script (though that is no guarantee of avoiding the editor’s razor). So we’ll see what ends up happening.

Oh, and I do very much hope that the actors do play thierolder selves in the epilogue. It seems like it would be easier to age someone than to make an older someone else resemble, for example, Dan, and not create a feeling of disconnect with the viewers.

I hope the trio portray de epilogue… though I don’t feel too confident about this choice. But I think it’s gotta be them… If it works or not, I’l just judge after seeing it.

And I think we may see the teaser trailer of Deathly Hallows in the movie theaters just before the Half Blood Prince movie… =p
That would be kind of cool/strange…… coolrange!! Or strool…

… I’m tired.

I do hope that Bonnie Wright will also be able to play Ginny & Tom Felton as Draco at the end. THAT would make m feel a WHOLE lot better.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the epilogue in the movie. I am less worried about the physical transformation, though, it will be a challenge to get it right. All three are talented actors, and as great an actor Dan, I wonder if he will be able to pull off being paternal. That part of the book is highlighted by the exchange between Harry and Albus,and we get a poignany glimpse of what Harry is like as a father. Even with the impressive range he has already, I worry that he has no frame of reference to draw from, though he obviously has a great cadre of mentors to consult with. I just view this as potentially one of the biggest stretches he will have to make as an actor and I look forward to see how he rises to this challenge.

i couldn’t get the clip to play (i hate technology!!), but anyway… i love the trio and think they r all amazing actors, but i can’t see them playing the epilogue. i always imagined the older versions to be in their 30’s or a least matured adults. i know the actors are going to be in their 20’s when dh comes out and there’s always movie makeup, but still i think actual adults should play the roles.

I seriously hope they play themselves. I don’t want the last scene of Harry Potter to be someone else! The magical trio forever!!

I really want Dan, Rupert, Emma, Bonnie and Tom to be used in the epilogue, and not other actors. I’m glad it seems like if they do film it, they’re going to use them.

I agree with Christine-we can not have Harry Potter end with anyone other than Dan, Rupert, Emma, Bonnie and Tom. What a shame that would be to end with new actors that we have not seen before being our beloved Harry and crew. If the movie people can Brad Pitt into a very old man for his next movie then they sure can age these guys from 20 somethings to 30 somethings very easily.
