"Wet."

There's a great new article on the OotP movie here (courtesy of TLC, dr.com, and dr.co.uk). Lots more about filming, especially Teh Kiss. And this comment from David Yates made me absolutely melt:

Most of the crew working on these films has been working with Daniel (Harry Potter) since he was little and the day we shot the kiss, they gathered around the monitor.

They needed to see this moment, experience it, because for them, Daniel was really as much a son, because they’ve seen him go through all these changes as he’s growing up.

And they got quite emotional watching his first kiss, it was a very interesting experience and I wanted make it feel as real and truthful as possible. We did many, many, many takes and it’s very tender and loving, as the first kiss should be.


How SWEET is that about the crew gathering around and sharing that moment?!

And asdfh;kajhfakshf;aksfh;ksfh at the thirty takes! I just hope Cho is crying all over the place like she's supposed to. :P

I just hope Cho is crying all over the place like she's supposed to.

Even if not, they all understand the proper spirit of the relationship in general.

Although, she’s bitter through the whole film because she can’t get over her boyfriend’s death. And that kind of complicates their friendship with each other and it ends in disaster.

*waits for 'Jenny' wank* :p

"Jenny, I got your number ... 867-5309 ..."

The scene being shot is outdoors on a bridge with a blue screen behind; it involves Dan, Rupert, Emma and Matthew and Evanna.

No Bonnie?

I just hope they don't screw up the H/G bits.

The kiss sounds lovely. I hope Cho is blubbering. I'm glad they seem to get the H/C relationship. (It ends in disaster.)

Yeah, I'm really curious as to how they're treating Ginny in this movie. I do know Matt Lewis said something about her training with the stunt people for the DoM stuff, but I haven't heard anything else.

Actually, I think Bonnie is there, because of Dan's quote following that summary:

We’re doing a scene that leads into the final act of the film where Umbridge has been taken off into the forbidden forest and we reconvene with Ron, Neville, Luna and Jenny [i.e. Ginny].

I have hopes in David Yates and I don't think he'll screw up the H/G bits.

Yeah, that occurred to me as well. Gosh, I'm just so CURIOUS, though. :D I wonder if they're going to feel the need to foreshadow the attraction between them - I say between because even Ginny's earlier crush on Harry was barely touched on (and then just in CoS).

side note: I love your icon! I don't usually like the manips of movie!Harry and movie!Ginny, but she looks older somehow in that picture, so it's not quite as creepy. :P

I got my icon yesterday. It's by [livejournal.com profile] sunlitdays.

They might foreshadow it a tiny bit. After all, according to [livejournal.com profile] iamfez, Ginny's line "I think you're in love Ron" was originally planned for Hermione and changed pretty late - probably to increase her prominence. I'm very happy about Katie Leung's comment about the nature of the Harry/Cho relationship.

Geeze, I bet Dan was not pleased. :D

Not at all. :P

It's wonderful to see this interview, thank you for telling us about it.

The interviewer didn't seem to aware of the HP universe. She said "Jenny", and she also said that David Yates was the first British director. The director of the fourth movie was British, wasn't he?

All this talking of kissing Cho, but she didn't ask, "And then in the next movie you get to kiss Jenny (sic)?"

Awwww! That is so sweet!
