Kino mag interview.

Harry ties up London
In mid-April, Londoners once again felt the whole scope of the Potter phenomenon. The world-famous Piccadilly Circus, right in the centre of Britain's capital, was closed off as scenes for Deathly Hallows were being shot. The city's entire traffic had to be rerouted, and there were massive traffic jams - just so that Dan, Rupert, Emma and a whopping 400 extras could film one of the action sequences for the saga's last part. Not every film gets that kind of support! Apart from that, the magic usually happens outside of London. Removed from the sprawling city, the cast and crew let slip as little as possible. But "Picture Star" does have a few photos from the set of the last Potter movie

The best lines from HP: (Top to bottom)

Daniel Radcliffe: I'd love to be a character on the Simpsons.
I've always believed in magic, one hundred percent. It fascinates me.
I'm not clumsy, just prone to accidents.
I don't understand girls, but I'm learning.

Rupert Grint: When I was small, I wanted to be an ice-cream vendor.

Emma Watson: I don't necessarily want to undress, but I'm still hoping for a similar offer.

N for N.E.W.T.
After seven years of school, students have to sit N.E.W.T.'s. Harry has to do especially well in those, after all, he wants to become an Auror. For that, he has to pass at least five exams with the grade E (Exceeds Expectations).

D for Daily Prophet.
The Daily Prophet is the biggest and most important newspaper in the wizarding world. After the return of Voldemort, it also published a lot of rubbish about Harry and Dumbledore. Better read "Picture Star"!

P for prefect.
Prefects are chosen to supervise and discipline the other students. Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, Bill and Percy Weasley as well as Cedric Diggory had all been given this important task. In Harry's year, Ron and Hermione were chosen for Gryffindor. Dumbledore didn't choose Harry so he wouldn't burden him with any more responsibilities.

X for Xenophilius Lovegood.
Luna Lovegood's father is the editor of the Quibbler. He gives Harry the chance to report his version of the events of Voldemort's return. But apart from that, he's usually more interested in weird stories about crumble-horned snorkacks.

W for Weasley.
The thing about pure-blood families is that most of them are supporters of Voldemort - they hold racist opinions about half-bloods and Mudbloods. The Malfoys, or the Black family (excluding Sirius), are examples of where that kind of thing leads. The Weasleys alone are decent people through and through, but because of that, they have to bear a lot of taunting from other pure-bloods.
