| | |  Julie Walters talks Molly Weasley
In a brief new interview Julie Walters, who plays Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter films, admits that she isn't a fan of the books but does like to keep up to speed with her character. Quote:
"The funny thing was that a rumour went around once that I was an avid reader of the Harry Potter books and that I was always first in the queue when they came out.
"Not the case, I'm afraid. Someone caught me thumbing through one on a bookstand and all I was doing - I admit it - was checking whether or not JK Rowling, the author, had written my character out!
"It was pure self-interest. I got to the magic words 'Mrs Weasley', realised I wasn't going to be the impending corpse and put the book back on the shelf."

Well, it's a shame that she hasn't read such a masterpiece, but the way she acts out Mrs. Weasley is a masterpiece in itself. That's called embodiment, people.

All that matters is that she's a brilliant Mrs. Weasley. A lot of the actors have read the books and they can't act the character to save their lives so kudos to her. She's brilliant.

Well she's not exactly the target demographic and besides, she's a very busy woman! It's hard work being a National Treasure Quote:
I had seen on tv a while ago a movie she was in . It was about a group of ladies who raised money for a cure for cancer. they posed for a calender. I can't remember the name of the movie..
Calendar Girls. She's also awesome in Billy Elliott and she did a version of Red Riding Hood. She's gunna be in Mama Mia this summer. Quote:
she's playing mrs weasley why? i mean she makes a good mrs weasley but if your not a fan of the story line then it cant be much fun to be in the film, can it?
Why does anyone work? Satisfaction and money. Just because she hasn't read the books doesn't mean working on the film isn't fun. Quote:

She never said that - total fabrication.

That's rather odd; for someone who plays the character spot on, yet she doesn't like or read the books? Strange, very strange. | |

Never would have guessed in million years that she never read the books, since she is so bloody brilliant as Molly.
Now I do believe Dan, Emma, and Steve the writer have never read them. At least I hope they've never read them 'cause if they had they had to have been reading them in complete darkness and upside down.

She doesn't read the books but still plays the character true to the books.
I think a certain person *cough* Michael Gambon *cough* should take note...

Interesting, at least she sort of scans through the books to see what her character is up to or whatever, and yes, I do believe we all agree that she plays her role as Mrs. Weasly absolutly beautifully!!!!!

The fact that she is keeping up with her character is a huge thing for a non-fan.
She's doing a really good job now, and if she's not a fan, then so be it. I don't care. As long as she plays Mrs. Weasley well, I'm happy.

All of them are fans.

She's a great Molly. She isn't an avid fan....well as some people have said, a lot of them aren't. Fine with me.

And just because we like the books so much, doesn't mean they have to love it too. They do well on their jobs and make us happy and that's about it... Could you imagine if, to be on a HP film, you had to be a fan and know the books upside down? It would be tricky to get all the pieces you need to make a film together.
The girl who plays Luna (whose name I forgot, shame on me!) is but an excepction.

I agree, Gambon is bloody brilliant as Dumbledore. Harris looked like he was about to fall asleep at any moment. Would never be able to convey such power like Gambon did in the battle between Dumbldore and Voldmort.
Never would have guessed they did.

When I saw her in Driving Lessons, I was like Bloody Hell, Mrs. Weasley is in this movie! She looked totally different. I understand her not liking the books, it's just not her thing. Funny how she was looking to see if she was in the last book. How could she not be, she kicks Bellatrix's butt!
