Actor Robert Pattinson is the subject of a new profile in the Evening Standard Magazine. In the article, Robert discusses his various films including the upcoming Little Ashes about the life of artist Salvador Dali, “Twilight,” based on the popular novels by Stephenie Meyer, as well as mentioning his role as Tri-Wizard Champion Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Saying he is nothing like his Hufflepuff counterpart, Robert Pattinson says that “I was never a leader, and the idea of my ever being made head boy is a complete joke. I wasn’t involved in much at school, and I was never picked for any of the teams. On the doomed fate that awaited the Hogwarts champion, the actor gave his reaction to learning the fate of his character as he noted “I looked at the other actors, and thought “God! Lucky you! You’ve got another three films guaranteed!” GoF director Mike Newell is quoted as describing Robert Pattinson: “Cedric exemplifies all that you would expect the Hogwarts’ champion to be. Robert Pattinson was born to play the role; he’s quintessentially English, with chislled public schoolboy good looks.”

Hmm. I swear, I feel like the only teenage girl who isn’t crazy about Twilight. I tried reading the books but I just thought they were… nauseating :x I do wish I liked them though because I adore Robert Pattinson – guh, those new pics are gorgeous!
I’m not crazy about Twilight – though I have read the whole series more than once and I’m anticipating the fourth book – but I’m excited to see what Robert does with his role as Edward. If anything, the books and film will be a fun, guilty pleasure left to me in the vacuum of the HP books’ absence. :)
That being said, it’s wonderful to hear about this article and about Robert in general. I think he’s an adorable young man and I’m happy to see him getting more work/exposure – especially in something as big as Twilight, however much people don’t like it lol.
When I had first seen Robert’s pictures I didn’t like him at all…But when I watched the film..he had that Cedric spirit..his body movements, his face expressions..everything shouted CEDRIC!!! Which makes him a beautiful choice and a great actor in my opinion..Keep up the good work!!
I completly agree with Amy S, nauseating is the correct word to descirbe it. I had to stop reading half way through the first one. The books were so lovey-dovey every other line was like- oh edward i can’t possibly live without you, you can’t love me as much as i love you, blah! i guess i’am just not into that whole romance deal. But, i like Robert he seems really down to earth.
Rob is great…for a young actor, he shows such maturity and a versatility to mold into different characters quite well – I noticed that in GOF and was pretty impressed by him. I’m glad he’s got some great movies lined up, and I hope to see them.
As for Twilight, I think I’d only go see that movie just because he’s in it. I thought the books were all right, but I didn’t think they were particularly “OH EM GEE AMAZING! I LOVE EDWARD AND BELLA!!!” as a lot of others think :) Still, I was very surprised when I heard Rob was playing Edward. I think he’ll be fantastic though :D
i’ve never really had any interest in reading twilight but hearing what you all have to say i might have to. as for rob i thought he was brilliant in GOF but i think daniel is better looking. just my opinion XD
Twighlight? I know the writer is really good, but whoo, where’s the plot? Vampires battle werewolves for a lady’s love? Ai-yi-yi. Cheap romance novel. No offense though. I haven’t read the books(sheepish titter)
Hey Jean of Lauria, I highly recommend that you read the books! I mean before I read Twilight I also kinda thought it was a “cheap romance”. But afterwards, I became ridiculuously obsessed with the series! : )

And my love for Robert Pattinson grew even bigger when I found out he was playing Edward. YAYYYYYYY ROBERT! :D
I don’t mind the romantic aspects of Twilight, but of course that series can never come close to HP in my book (biased much? ;) ) The only part that really irked me was when Edward left and Bella freaked. I mean, I get that you would get depressed if your love left you, but you can’t just role over and die. grrh.
@Jean- you should give the books a shot, there’s a lot of action that has nothing to do with wining the lady’s love (though I concur, if it was that would be pretty “Ai-yi-yi.”)
"I see you all, whole and healthy, with your powers intact -- such prompt appearances! -- and I ask myself... why did this band of wizards never come to the aid of their master, to whom they swore eternal loyalty?"
he is sooo hot and a good actor too..gosh.. i love u robs! i wish he could come back for HP but that ll never happen…life is soo unfair… HP and robert rock!!! kisses rox
