Four Harry Potter actors talk about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Four Harry Potter actors - Hugh Mitchell (Colin Creevey), Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan), Danielle Tabor (Angelina Johnson films 1 - 3), and Natalia Tena (Tonks) - talked at Florida SuperCon about their roles in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and what we as fans can look forward to in the movie. Here’s what the actors had to say:
Natalia Tonks:
“The script was so different from the book. I think that a lot of Harry Potter fans are going to be a bit narked off about it, and that’s my own opinion. I think it is so different from the book. Like so different. So many elements of it. I think the book is supposed to be about how the two worlds (Muggle and Wizarding) are now being affected by this dark force. Like the beginning of the book, you see the Prime Minister and you get a sense of that forecast. All this stuff was taken out, and I think it’s a shame. I personally would’ve liked to see that.”
Devon Murray:
Yeah, there is still a lot of kissing scenes in the sixth movie. So far, we have been able to see quite a few of them. They are pretty cool and really, really good.” What a tease!
Everyone laughed, admiring his surprising response. “I don’t kiss anybody. I don’t kiss anybody though! But now, we are ripping the heck out of everyone who was kissing. So it’s been pretty cool.”
Another tidbit he gives is that the death scene that awaits us all at the end of the film is a “really good scene with lots of people crying.”
Hugh Mitchell and Danielle Tabor:
“The first three [were] wicked. Like the first one, I was fifteen. I had no idea what was going on whatsoever, I was like, ‘Ah heh…Cool!’ And I was in school, so it was random. By the second and third one, I was really into it and everything. But with Chris Columbus, I thought it was like wicked stuff.”
Hugh carries on, “He made me feel more relaxed about it. I mean, I was twelve years-old, and you know, I had done nothing [before]. I was walking out to the Great Hall and seeing people — I have never done anything like it. I would have been definitely crapping myself. Chris Columbus was awesome. And he just makes you feel very relaxed and he drives you to such a point as well, but not in a bad way. I remember I was doing a scene and doing it over and over again and he was like shouting, ‘You’re insane! Remember you are insane!’ I was like, he’s absolutely crazy.”
Devon sums it up, “He kind of treats us like one of his own children as well. He makes you feel like you can get away with everything, really. I think he was like the biggest child. The basketball courts thrown in. All the game rooms and everything in the studio.” - source
