Tom Talks Potter
Dan Spills the Brown Beans
It has been long speculated where actress Emma Watson will be going for Collage. Dan was speaking about her and accidently let this slip when talking to The Guardian:
“[Emma's] very clever. Do you know her GCSE results? (bulges eyes) I was thrilled with mine - seven Bs, two As and an A*. I thinkEmma got three As and seven A*s - she’s incredibly academic, it’s frightening. Me and Rupert [Grint] to all intents and purposes dropped out of school. And she’s going to Brown.”

Dan Talks DH
In a new article in the New Zealand herald Dan Radcliffe (Harry) shares his feelings on the 7th movie being split in 2:"I'm very happy that the seventh book is being made as two films," notes Radcliffe, "because I was worried they would have to cut important scenes. For example in the fourth film you could cut out the house elf sub-plot and it doesn't affect the main story in any way. In the second film they cut out the Nearly Headless Nick Death Day Party. In fact that whole character has fallen by the wayside. The problem with doing that with the final book is that there is nothing that doesn't relate to the main story or drive it forward. There's not much you could cut. So we've given ourselves the room and opportunity to do it justice."

Twin Talk
The LA Times has a new interview with Oliver and James Phelps (Fred and George). This is just one of the many interviews that are being released before the 6th movie. Here was my favorite part of this interview:
What was your favorite experience working on “Half-Blood Prince"?
OP: That would be being a part of the Fred and George joke shop scene. The crew built an exquisite set, and there are a lot of special effects involved to simulate the magical pops and explosions. It’s a great scene.
JP: I really enjoyed working with the crew. Most of my actual acting I was able to complete in about two weeks. When I wasn’t acting, I would help the crew set up scenes and shots. I learned a lot more about direction and filmmaking in general, and that was pretty cool.
