Clémence Poesy: “It was really fun and a lot easier this time. Four years ago, I arrived in London like an alien. I was the little French girl loose in nature on something big and totally crazy. This time it was really different. I had the impression I was coming back to summer camp after being gone for a while. There were the same smells of food, the same people, the same places… The difference was that everybody had grown up and the furniture was a little dustier.” (Laughs)
“But really things hadn’t changed much. When I think about it, it’s really sad that it’s the end. The idea of telling a story in the same place, with the same people who work in a different world and know it by heart was beautiful! Harry is like the “Antoine Doinel” from our generation… We grew up with him. This time around, I was prepared.”
“The thing I remembered about The Goblet of Fire was the rate at which we worked. Sometimes we would shoot nonstop and other times we would wait for hours without anything to do. So this time, for the Deathly Hallows, I brought my books, my music, my DVDs and my sketchbooks. Well there were worse: David Thewlis brought his piano!”
“I get asked a lot how Daniel is or if Emma is like her character in the movies… It surprises a lot of people but, four years ago, they were already really mature and they still are. Daniel always surprised me. He has a curiosity, an open mind about the world that is rare. He takes everything in there is to take in people, but in a smart way. Ralph Fiennes is also like that and watching him play is a privilege. He was so into his character that he scared the people who had a walk-on part on set…. But don’t count on me to tell you who impressed me most. It would be like asking you which colleague you like most at Premiere and then showing your answer in the offices. Would be a little embarrassing, wouldn’t it? “
