John Hurt talks about acting in the Harry Potter films

John Hurt, one of the best actors of all time and who played the role of wandmaker Ollivander in the first Harry Potter film, sat down for a quick interview with Rotten Tomatoes in which he talked about his newest projects and looked back at a few of the old. Here’s a bit of what he had to say about Harry Potter:

You’re returning to Harry Potter for the final films having appeared in the very first one, how has it been to come back?

JH: I’ve filmed one, which actually is the last one, and now I’ve got the penultimate one to do which is in November, and that wraps it all up. It’s a big loss for Britain in terms of having a big studio movie here, but it’s not representative of our culture in terms of the films that we make. I am convinced that though Pinewood and Shepperton — the big studios — playing host to big movies is very important, our film business is in the independent world. Of that I’m convinced.
