Various Harry Potter & Rupert Grint Tidbits

» December 19 by Ivana in HP News with 48 Comments

December 19, 2008, 5:02PM–We have been so excited about Cherrybomb in the past couple of days, that we have somewhat neglected Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. However, several articles have popped up recently, containing various bits of information, which might be of interest to us die-hard Rupert Grint fans.

First off, The Press Association has featured HP producer David Heyman who talked about the trio. He is reported to have said that none of the stars are allowed to put on any “airs or graces” during filming. Heyman has also claimed to have been incredibly lucky to get such grounded young stars for Harry Potter, who haven’t become divas, or gone off the rails:

“I don’t think its going to happen to them, they’re pretty together, really good kids, well – young adults now.” Heyman has also allegedly said that the filming for Deathly Hallows I & II will last for 54 weeks (?!) — yes, that’s more than a year. The article, which you may read here, does contain some guffs (for example the claim that the first HP film was made back in 1997!), so please take it with a grain of salt.

Second, TLC has been sent a video interview that David Heyman has given to Collider.com – you may view it here. Heyman noted he had just been in London discussing the scripts for DH I & II with David Yates and Steve Kloves. When asked about the spliting point, Heyman said it won’t be an action- packed moment but “an emotional and very truthful” point that fans will be happy with.  Could it be The Silver Doe chapter? ;) Heyman also noted that Half-Blood Prince has a running time of about two and a half hours – yay!

You might also want to read two more TLC articles: one of them is Melissa Anelli’s  HBP set report preview. Among other things, she notes that Jessie Cave (aka Lavender Brown) said her kissing scenes with Rupert Grint made her concerned about “chipping a tooth” – so we may look forward to some wild snogging indeed! The other one is an Emma Watson interview. Emma proves to be a true R/Hr shipper (which we have always known) and says that she does keep in touch with Dan and Rupert between HP films. Read it here.

  1. Perhaps, (as a producer), in his mind (cause he’s responsible for overseeing the entire thing, ….past just the acting), he’s including, pre-production, production, and post production.

  2. I hope that’s all he means, AJ, because 54 weeks is a LOT! And I remembered way back they said that it probably wouldn’t alter how much they filmed because it was split. That it’d be pretty much like the other films which always ranged from 8-11 months!

  3. Oh, Ivana!! I missed you girl! Where have you been?

    And I already read some of these articles and we´re being discussing some of them in the forum!
    Loved the one about the kiss and of course, Emma, our stronger R&Hr shipper soldier! :)

  4. I always said it would be a year or so of filming. They started filming OOTP in Feb. 2006 and filming ended in October 2006. I figured filming part 1 and 2 at the same time it would take an additonal 4-5 months.

  5. Oh Lilly I’ve been travelling all over Europe… visiting my relatives and friends. Been to Germany, now I’m in Serbia, and in two weeks time who knows where!

  6. Wow, good to know girl!
    Have a great time!
    And it seems than even travelling you can´t forget us!
    Good girl! :)

  7. How can I forget you guys, I’m a true ICM addict. I’ve been abusing my sister’s blackberry mercilessly in the past couple of days!

  8. I’m still astonished at the 2.5 hours of HBP! Wow! We haven’t had any of the HP movies that long since CoS. And those are the some of the better movies!

  9. Yeah, I know Ivana! Once you find the place… you can´t leave it! ;)

    2.5 hours? Wow, so my hopes of any R&Hr part being cut are up!!
    It´ll worth the wait!! I´m gonna camp on the movie, maybe watch it two three times in a day!

  10. Totally OFT but anyone here likes Madonna?
    She´s in São Paulo for three shows (last one tomorrow) ant it´s being such a crazyness! 20 policemen just to follow her car!
    I prefer her old ones.
    A good one to inspires me in a drawing:

    “You’ve got style, that’s what all the girls say
    Satin sheets and luxuries so fine
    All your suits are custom made in London
    But I’ve got something that you’ll really like

    Gonna dress you up in my love
    All over, all over
    Gonna dress you up in my love
    All over your body”

    No, no, no don´t be scared Rup!! :D

  11. Didn’t the Chicago goers say something about it being shorter? I don’t remember anyone talking about a 2.5 hour film, so it sounds like maybe they added stuff by the sounds of it. But I could be wrong!

    And okay, the LA times once again proves why they suck and are a failing paper: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-harry-potter-alum-pg,0,3300248.photogallery?index=4 – The write up barely makes up for the old picture from DL, considering they could have used something from CB. What they did to Dan isn’t much better, the write-up is nice, but the picture used is from DB. They talk about a project that may never materialize with Journey, but with Emma they fail to talk about the movie she is rumored to be apart of! And poor Tom Felton only gets a picture from CoS!

    I thought about putting it up, but I don’t think it’s worth it at all. lol

  12. Clemence made a movie with Jim Sturgess??? Oh, I loved him in “Across the Universe”!

    And the article is just a list (with very bad research) about their upcomming movies. Nothing to add about the actors.

    Well, have fun! Good night girls! :)

  13. Yes, and they forgot to find out about Thunderpants! :\

  14. And they picked the absolute worst picture ever of Clemence Posey too! Lame wads.

    what does put on ‘airs or graces’ during filming mean. i’m stupid

  15. My guess is that they’re not allowed to act like they are the best thing since sliced bread just because they’re famous. My rough interpretation at least.

  16. I hate global warming…. it’s almost christmas time and its 70 degrees outside with fog!!! wth is that all about?!?!?

    anyways…. Wish me luck guys!!! I’m a writer and i wrote a play and we peform tomorrow night. gotta get some sleep… but i will still be checking for CB news in and out tomorrow… lol
    Night! :)

  17. Lilly I love Madonna! Dress you up in my love, all over all over. I would sure love to dress Rupert up in my love ma ha ha.

  18. Jo, if you haven’t, please check your e-mail!

    I’m not a huge Madonna fan, but I’ve heard that Alanis (who is on Madonna’s label) is huge over in Brazil, is she?

  19. Tao I actually just checked it and responded back to you. Proceed and delete.

  20. Tao, maverick doesn’t exist anymore. Warner Music Group acquired all the artists back in 2004 or 2005. Madonna is with something called Nu Nation or something weird like that.

    Yep, it was raining and 67 degrees today. It is April in December. Weird.

  21. Yeah, Suzeeq, but Madonna *made* that label. That’s what I meant. :) But FYI, her latest album still has “Maverick” written on it. I thought that was kind of funny.

  22. That is weird because yes Madonna did create Maverick but you know what another label might have offered her TONS of money so I bet that is why she took it lol. :)

  23. I think it will be the silver doe chapter where they cut it. Not too much action happen before then, and afterward there is tons of it! Can’t wait to see Rupert do the locket scene!!

  24. Oh Lord why me?

    Do you believe that I came on at a bit after 12am, saw all the fabulous news and pics of the last two days, pm’ed Jo for other pics (thanks again girl) and now is when I’m able to comment?

    I hate my pc nowadays, somethings wrong and I don’t like it. And then when I finally come on, I have no time to comment because of this freakin pc!

    Anyway, now it’s late, as per usual 3:25 am to be exact and I’m beat. And I had every intention of hanging out at the forum too :(

    But I saw the pics! So let me just say Maly is fucking hot!

    What? That’s not news to you? Ok then…

    Rupert hanging out with friends like a normal person is the best! Makes me feel all cozy and warm!

    Not news either? Well what do you expect, you’ve already talked, chewed and digested this news, I on the other hand just read/saw it! So there :P

    And I have to add that I sooo want that… to hang out with Rupert… as if he was a normal person *sigh* eat chinese, have a few drinks, take some gag pics, lol.

    Hehe, Rupert yes of course you are a normal person! I just wish you were being normal right next to me!

    See ya girls on the morrow! I really hope!!

  25. It’s so cool that ICM got referenced in this article:

    http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00020741.html

    ICM on google news is just AMAZING!

  26. Tao, Alanis has a huge fan base here in Brazil and she already made a lot of shows here!
    And JO, I´m sure you would! ;)

  27. Ki, that’s really cool! :)

  28. Well girls it is you who have made this happen too – I keep saying that we have the best street team in the world! We’re all here to help Rupert get the recognition he has well deserved, and to spread that ginger love, and to share every bit of information we might find, and of course to draw enormous pleasure from doing so! Go Rupert! Go ICM! Go Rupie Groupies!

  29. Ace Showbiz, well that is pretty spiffy! :)

  30. Oh wow, that is awesome! The recognition we just got. :D

  31. Ivana, stay safe in your travels. Do you know how to make povitica?!

    KC and suzeeq, if you want winter weather I’d be happy to share some of the 12inches of snow I got yesterday. Just send me your address ;)

    I’m happy to hear from David Heyman. Length of HPB — YAY!, Split for DH –potential YAY! Length of filming of DH –um, boo!

  32. Length of CB, is most DEFINITELY boo….

  33. AJ, just think that in HBP you´ll have, what? 30, 35 minutes of Ron and in CB we´ll have certainly next 70 minutes of Malachy! ;)

  34. OK, Lilly….

    I like your postive thinking….

  35. I opened a thread to my fanart at the forum:
