Two new Potter cast interviews have emerged, one with
Maggie Smith (McGonagall) and the other with
David Thewlis (Lupin).
Maggie Smith briefly mentions how children react to her because of her role in the wizarding film series.
Quote:
NEARY: Smith says the "Harry Potter" films have introduced her to a new generation of filmgoers.
Dame MAGGIE: There's some children who live in the little square that I live in and are convinced that I can turn into a cat. It's very difficult to slink in and out of my house with my shopping. I have to say, `No, I can't do it today. Maybe another day.'
(Soundbite of laughter)
Dame MAGGIE: But it's a whole new audience, which is nice--lovely.

David Thewlis has been interviewed by
The Telegraph.
While Harry Potter isn't really mentioned, the article does focus on his private life, in particular his newest role as a father. He and his partner,
Anna Friel, are expecting their first child together later this year.
