Popcorn.co.uk has a follow-up to the Cleese interview on Ananova this morning. They also have the video clip of him talking about his Harry Potter role. What people DON’T realize, is that he doesn’t say “I have a big part in the 3rd movie” he actually says “I have a big party in the 3rd movie.” The party he is referring to is his “Death Day Party” which actually occurs in “Chamber of Secrets” or the second movie, due to start filing this Summer.

“Well, this Halloween will be my five hundredth deathday,” said Nearly Headless Nick, drawing himself up and looking dignified.

“Oh,” said Harry, not sure whether he should look sorry or happy about this.

“Right.”

“I’m holding a party down in one of the roomier dungeons. Friends will be coming from all over the country. It would be such an honor if you would attend. Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger would be most welcome, too, of course – but I daresay you’d rather go to the school feast?” He watched Harry on tenterhooks.

“No,” said Harry quickly, “I’ll come -”

“My dear boy! Harry Potter, at my deathday party! And” – he hesitated, looking excited – “do you think you could possibly mention to Sir Patrick how very frightening and impressive you find me?”

“Of – of course,” said Harry.

Nearly Headless Nick beamed at him. “A deathday party?” said Hermione keenly when Harry had changed at last and joined her and Ron in the common room. “I bet there aren’t many living people who can say they’ve been to one of those – it’ll be fascinating!”.
