Ciaran Hinds Talks Role as Aberforth in "Deathly Hallows"
Actor InterviewsFebruary 23, 2010, 01:04 AM
Actor Ciaran Hinds, who will be portraying the character of Aberforth Dumbledore in the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" films, was interviewed by the Hill-man Morning Show which broadcasts out of WAAF in Boston earlier today. In the interview, which can be heard here starting around the 5:15 mark, Mr. Hinds spoke very briefly about his part in the film, relating how "you might have a flash of my eyes in one of [the films]." The actor went on to discuss his role as Aberforth by saying:
Basically I'm there to play one long scene where I explain to the kids - who are not kids anymore - about some part of the history of Albus Dumbledore's life that they weren't fully up to the mark in. But I did get, for one split second, someone put a wand in my hand and I got to flash it.
Reading the books is one joy, seeing the scenes in film is yet a totally different thrill. It would have been great just to be an extra somewhere in the movies.
