In a new
interview, actress Kelly Macdonald, who was
confirmed to play the Grey Lady, Helena Ravenclaw, in
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, revealed that director David Yates had originally asked her to portray character Nymphadora Tonks in Order of the Phoenix (which of course went to Natalia Tena).
Quote:
She's just finished shooting the part of the Grey Lady in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Unassuming as ever, she thinks director David Yates was doing her a favour "as he's knocked me back a couple to times to play [the Order of the Phoenix member] Tonks in the Harry Potter films".
The feature in the
Independent, focusing on Macdonald's work on HBO's Boardwalk Empire, also noted that she did in fact work alongside Daniel Radcliffe in the final
Harry Potter film.
Quote:
And, having recently worked with Daniel Radcliffe (on the final Harry Potter film) and David Tennant (on forthcoming romcom The Decoy Bride), she's seen first-hand the trials of super-fame.
