More Interviews from the Cast of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2; Most Epic Couple Poll

Rupert or Ronpert?

Emma:

Emma again. Listen to 1:48–”He still blushes” (when asked about the kiss). Watch Emma’s reaction to this remark. She insists that Rupert is really shy.

Alternate endings for the Malfoys and Epilogue re-shoot?! (How much of this will be on the DVD?) Also, Steve Kloves talks about Draco’s relationship with his mother.

Here’s a link to a blog where you can vote for the “Most Epic Couple”–is it Edward and Bella from Twilight or Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter? Go vote!

Here’s a quote from the interview above that will please the Ron/Hermione shippers:

The film also features a running love story with the long-awaited kiss between Hermione and Ron.

And the moment lives up to expectations, sizzling with believable chemistry and, thankfully, plenty of good humour.

It all comes together with a spectacular battle for Hogwarts, a curiously Christ-like resolution for Harry, and a final swoop over the newly restored St Pancras Hotel as we return to where it all began: King’s Cross station.

Harry’s story is Christ-like? I am really eager to see the film now!

An Early Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Here’s a link to an early review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

http://imstillwandering.blogspot.com/2011/07/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part-2.html

My favorite part of this reviewer’s blog post was:

“I think this film has been the most cinematically beautiful; the performances were grand with many characters, Hermione and Snape in particular, coming into their own, with the only exception in my mind being Ginny. I’m sorry; I’m just not going to be a fan. I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but she just does not fit the part for me, her acting seems quite forced be it down to skill or script, and the chemistry between Harry and Ginny just did not develop, unlike Ron and Hermione’s whose has flourished and grown naturally…. theirs… the kiss… guys… seriously… whoops and hollers; it was bang on lovely, sweet, passionate, giggly…. Lovely.

“90% of the film was satisfying, heart-wrenching, funny, poignant, terrifying, suspenseful, teary, correct in spirit to the novel, visual depictions bang on (the protective spells, the dragon, the piece of Voldemort in the Heavenly King’s Cross… wow).”

 

I really hope this film is as good as this blogger says it is. 12 days left!
