Rupert Grint talks war-torn Wizarding World in Deathly Hallows
In an in-depth interview with BBC Radio 2 to promote the upcoming release of Cherrybomb, Rupert Grint sat down with host Dermot O'Leary and discussed the Harry Potter films, including the camping and death-filled war sequences in Deathly Hallows, his character in Cherrybomb, filming Wild Target with Bill Nighy, and much more. It can be listened to below.
BBC: Deathly Hallows … it’s the book that’s the hardest to envisage becoming a film … ‘cause you’re not at school anymore and you’re hunting the horcruxes.
Rupert: The whole structure of it is completely different. In the past films it’s always been Harry’s house, the Dursleys’, the kids on the train, the cat … but that’s all out the window now ‘cause we’ve left school. We’re on the run. We’re camping out in random forests and such.
BBC: It must be nice for you to get to explore your character a little bit more. The last book is quite hardcore.
Rupert: Yeah, even Hedwig, which I though was quite unnecessary. For Ron’s character there’s a lot of paranoia. There’s a lot going on, he loses his brother. It’s a war, really. It’s a war film. It’s quite intense.
BBC: Wild Target, is it that yet? When did you film that?
Rupert: No, it’s out in June. That was right after Cherrybomb.
BBC: The story there is an old hit man takes you on?
Rupert: It’s quite a complicated story. It was a remake. It’s basically about Bill Nighy plays this hitman who’s on the verge of retirement. He takes out this contract to kill Emily Blunt but he can’t do it. He falls in love with her. I witness this big shoot out in a car park. He’s gonna kill me, but then he decides to take me as his apprentice. We form this weird, dysfunctional family and we hide out in a house.
BBC: Did you film it in the Isle of Man or is it set in the Isle of Man?
Rupert: No, we filmed it in the Isle of Man. It was a bit in London, a bit in the Isle of Man.
BBC: You’ve got some great actors, don’t you? Bill Nighy’s just extraordinary, isn’t he?
Rupert: He’s amazing. He’s very funny. He’s also in the next Harry Potter film as well … the Minister of Magic.
OH WOW.. just please bring on DH now!!!!! Dont care about other movies/interested in seeing anything else right now- well Alice in Wonderland which I will see soon! But bring on DH!!
Yeah, even Hedwig, which I though was quite unnecessary.
WHAT?! DOESN'T HE UNDERSTAND WHY HEDWIG DIED? Obviously he's never listened to the interviews JK did for DH...Hedwig had to die to symbolise Harry's loss of innocence and Childhood...It was to show that he had to grow up and not to have those Childish beliefs he had whilst Dumbledore was still alive!
