1 ) First question is that For
a lot directors stepping up to a big effects-heavy movie, the most
terrifying thing is learning your way around those effects, but I guess
you had a lot of the world already built. Did that help a lot?
Of course. You always always turn thinking: “I don’t want to make the
films like they’ve made them.” You watch them respectfully and enjoy
them but you have to make it your own. I was interested in bringing a
sense of jeopardy to the world and a sense of character. To go that bit
deeper and further. Because the characters and the actors were growing
up, it felt right to just take a darker turn and make it more intense
and visceral. And actually, to make it feel a bit more emotional as
well. And it felt that as the stories were progressing, that kind of
turn of direction was what was needed, really. You don’t want to follow
people, you want to make the world your own in a way.
2 ) Second question is that What’s
great about this is that we’ve four directors and seven films so far
and each one’s felt different. What the books did as well, I guess, is
grow with the characters.
it is amazing what JK Rowling did. It’s a remarkable achievement to create
this world, which at first seemed so lovable and friendly and start to
take that avid, loyal readership on quite a traumatic journey, which is
wonderful. And, yeah, we’ve followed that.
3 )Third question is that A lot was made of the fifth one being the ‘political’ one. Is that how you saw it at the time?
There were themes which were obviously political, but ultimately you can’t do politics with a capital ‘P’. I enjoyed that element of the story but I was actually more intrigued by this character who felt like he was being misunderstood by everybody. I think that’s a common experience growing up. We’ve all been through phases in our lives where we’ve felt that people weren’t listening or not understanding us, or we felt slightly out of step with things. That part of the story I like very much, and that’s what we explored with Harry. What I loved was what Jo did with this sort of adolescent burn-through in the context of that magical universe. The politics was something I’ve always felt comfortable with in my work previously but it was politics with a small ‘p’.
4 ) fourth question is that You
were the first director since Chris Columbus to accept two films in a
row. When they asked you for Half-Blood Prince, what went through your
head?
What did it for me was reading the script. They gave me the script on an
aeroplane as we were on our way to Chicago to test Order Of The
Phoenix. We were still finishing Order Of The Phoenix and it was an
envelope, and I thought: “I’m not sure I can go around again.” Then I
read it and it was delightful and playful and touching. That was the
first time I’d read any of Steve Kloves’ work. The guy who adapted Order
Of The Phoenix was a lovely man called Michael Goldenberg and he, like
I, was a new boy in the Potter world. Then Steve came back for
Half-Blood Prince and I read the script on the plane and just fell in
love with it. I liked that the tone was that bit much brighter than
Order Of The Phoenix. I used to joke with Mike Newell that I was the one
who got stuck with the really “angsty teenage” one - the coming-of-age,
sexual politics one. And I thought, well, if I’ve made the intense
teenage, growing up/being angry at the world and everybody else, it
would be nice to do the Harry Potter that’s about adolescent love and
romance and sexual politics.
5 ) fifth question is that How
about Broadbent? Is it just one of those cases where if you can have
Jim Broadbent in your movie, put Jim Broadbent in your movie?
Well, I just love Jim. I’d worked with him before and I knew very early
on that it had to be Jim. He’s a proper actor but he can also do this
extraordinary, playful comedy. There’s something very troubled about
that character and Jim’s got that gift – he can turn on a sixpence. One
minute he can have you laughing and the next he can break your heart.
He’s fearless as well. He’ll try some daft things sometimes, which I
love and encourage, and I’d sort of experienced that with him when I
made a television film called The Young Visitors with him (in 2003). I’d wanted to work with him again ever since and Potter was the perfect opportunity.
6 )sixth question is that I
wanted to ask about the Battle of Hogwarts, because this is what it’s
all building to. You get to do the big single one at the end as well…
It’s so satisfying to finally get to a concluding story that, and you
realise how important it is to fulfil all that. I encouraged Steve to
juxtapose the attack on Hogwarts with Harry’s quest to destroy the
remaining Horcruxes, so it’s a race against time to get to these
Horcruxes and kill them before Voldemort kills everybody. It keeps you
with Harry, which is important, and then you get big battles happening
around that. It was quite intimidating, actually, early on, because we
have this high level of expectation around bringing the series to a
close. But there’s always been a high level of expectation. It’s got to
be amazing and, you know, we’ve got used to that. We’ve got a coda at
the end which I really enjoy [but] I know some people hate the coda at
the end of the book.
7 ) seventh question is that I remember the actors saying, “We’re not insisting on it being us if it doesn’t work. It has to work.”
Totally, yeah. I think it does.
