(Boredom... POA interviews)
I'll edit this later when I do more, but here's transcripts of the interviews of the cast on the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD. I think the Emma, Dan&Rupert one's the funniest, but the David & Gary one is so sweet. I'll definitely do the David & Gary one some other time. :D
Interviewer: Johnny Vaughan
Emma Watson, Dan Radcliffe & Rupert Grint:
Interviewer: Now I understand that Alfonso [Cuaron] had you each write an essay, what was that all about?
Rupert: Well, actually, um, I didn’t, I never did the essay.
Interviewer: Ah, truth of character, you didn’t do your homework…
Rupert: No…I didn’t do it.
Emma: Yeah, he basically asked us to write an essay, about who we thought our characters were, why they do the things they do, um, their background, their feelings, their thoughts, how they’ve changed in the first year of Hogwarts, second year of Hogwarts, and now, into the third year, um, and stuff…
Dan: And, it was, I felt really so pleased with myself, because you [Rupert] hadn’t had yours in, and I felt all ‘I’ve done it, I’ve done it, I’ve done it!’ so I hand mine in, and the next day, Emma comes in with all sixteen pages of hers!
Interviewer: It’s frighteningly good casting, really, the way you’ve all reacted to this.
Dan: Well we’ve just got a chance to explore the characters slightly more, ‘cause they’re growing up basically, and so there’s more scope to the characters than in the books.
Emma: We’re teenagers!
Interviewer: What is the first thing that typically fans do when they see you in public?
Dan: Kinda, quite a lot of double takes, most of all…
Shrunken head: Yeaaaah!
Dan: I think there’s almost a theory that we can’t actually go out in public, so it must just be someone who looks like us…
Shrunken head: Tell me about it!
Dan: But that’s kind of a myth, we do actually go out.
Emma: I was in Topshop the other day, and the woman who was working there goes, ‘ha, ha, ha, it’s so funny, you look exactly like the girl who plays Hermione!’ and its like, ‘yeah, yeah, that’s ‘cause I am…’ ‘Excuse me, what, sorry??’
Shrunken head: I have to travel in a handbag so the girls won’t get me! You know what they say, once you’ve gone out with a Shrunken head, you never go back…
Interviewer: You see where your mouth has come unstitched? That could easily be restitched… What is the most ridiculous thing a fan has ever said to you?
Dan: Well, I’ve had proposals of marriage. I had one, which was bizarre, it was terrifying.
Emma: It was like, ‘Dan, marry me!’
Dan: Yeah…it was this weird one, with a big sign… and then the other one was the towel girl…
Emma: Oh…
Interviewer: The towel girl?
Dan: The towel girl…
Emma: The towel girl.
Dan: She’s a legend!
Interviewer: Ok, what did the towel girl do?
Dan: We were filming, I was doing Empty Feet, in New York, and it was freezing cold, I mean, its not like it was a warm summer’s day, it was so cold, and I got up and they took me over to the window, and there was a girl sat down there, wearing nothing but a Harry Potter towel, with a sign that said…It doesn’t get much better than then! With a sign that said, ‘Nothing comes between me and Harry Potter!’ It was great!
Shrunken head: Yeah, I bet it was!
Dan: It was, yeah!
Interviewer: In the movie, you encounter a boggart, who transforms itself into your worst fear…if you individually encountered boggarts, what do you think they’d be? Rupert, you look like you’d love that pressure…
Rupert: Um, well I’m actually really scared of spiders…I hate spiders, just like Ron really…
Shrunken head: You’re wimpier than Johnny!
Interviewer: If you were an Animagus – is it Animagus?
Emma: Animaygus…
Interviewer: Oh, I’ve been corrected by Hermione Granger… what you think the other two would morph into?
Dan: Oh god, um, I don’t know…
Ron: You’ve always said I looked like a frog…
Dan: I never said you looked like a frog!
Ron: You did in one of the pictures.
Dan: Did I?
Ron: Yeah, one of the stills.
Dan: God, that was during my horrible phase! I don’t know…what animal would you like to be? You like camels…
Ron: Camels are cool…
Dan: You can be a camel…
Interviewer: It’s quite a handy thing to be, you know, you can go loads of time without water.
Dan: I have absolutely no idea about who you could be, I’m sorry…
Interviewer: Throw one in…
Emma: Come on, yeah, come on Dan! No pressure or anything!
Interviewer: You’re meant to be able to do things!
Dan: I know but I can’t!
Interviewer: You’re the boy Potter!
Dan: I know I’m meant to be able to!
Shrunken head: Hey, how about a potato head, a platypus…?
Dan: Help me!
Shrunken head: A lion!
Dan: A lion!
Emma: Rarrrrgh!
Interviewer: What would you think he’d be and he’d be?
Emma: Well I know he has a real thing for werewolves…
Dan: No, just wolves…
Emma: Wolves, okay…
Dan: I convinced you [Rupert] I was a werewolf! Yeah, I told him I was a werewolf…
Rupert: I believed you as well…
Interviewer: You couldn’t have done really…
Rupert: Oh, I did, yeah.
Interviewer: Okay, first, you are probably the most famous under 16 year olds on this earth, the girls…it must be a glorious time…
Emma: Lots of towel girls…
Dan: Yes, many many towel girls…no, it’s alright, it’s very cool, yeah…
Interviewer: What are the things you’d like to do that you can do in Harry Potter that you can’t do in the real world? Would quidditch be one? What are the sorts of things… if you could pick one thing?
Dan: I think I’d probably have the invisibility cloak, ‘cause then I could just sneak in to so many rock concerts, and it’d be great!
Shrunken head: You don’t need a cloak to sneak into rock concerts, just roll in under the turnstile like I do! Come on, whats my favourite band?
Interviewer: Ok, whats your favourite band?
Shrunken head: Isn’t it obvious? The talking heads! You walked into that one!
Interviewer: Last of all, when the new Harry Potter book comes out, you must have started out just as Harry Potter book fans, it must have really changed the way you read these books now?
Dan: You do kind of start to look at it as ‘oh my god, I’ll be doing this soon…’
Interviewer: Yeah, you’ve got a list of things to do, you know…
Dan: I read the fourth book as we started the first film, and the Yule ball, me and Ron, I remember just reading it and thinking ‘oh my god, we’re wearing dresses?!’
Emma: ‘Excuse me?!’
Dan: ‘What?! Surely…’
Interviewer: Did you [Rupert] have a similar moment when you read that? I mean, do you read it?
Rupert: Definitely, that scared me quite a bit!
Interviewer: When you read it, do you think, oh that’s another two weeks in bluescreen?
Rupert: Yeah…
Interviewer: Does that heighten your enjoyment or…?
Dan: I think, for me, it heightens it, because its like ‘oh my god, I’m actually gonna get to do this…’ ‘cause its like kids all over the world dreaming of this stuff and you’re actually gonna be able to do it…its fantastic.
Shrunken head: Johnny!
Interviewer: What?
Shrunken head: Do you think I’d be a great Harry Potter?
Interviewer: Oh yeah, yeah, especially when it comes to waving a wand…
Shrunken head: I hadn’t thought of that…
Interviewer: Emma?
Emma: Now I’ve done the film, reading the book, I can see, Dan, Rupert and I actually doing it, it’s really funny; I have this little picture in my head…
Interviewer: Okay, that’s me done, now its time to turn to the head, and ask him to ask you his ONE question…
Shrunken head: Daniel, isn’t our scene together the highlight of the film? Don’t you think it’s head and shoulders above the rest?
Dan: It’s the knight bus scene isn’t it? Yeah, and I remember when you got on set, you were making all these demands, yeah, it was a good scene.
Shrunken head: I don’t remember that…
Interviewer: You asked the question, don’t interrupt.
Dan: Thank you.
Shrunken head: I don’t remember that!
Dan: No, yeah, no, you’re…it’s a great scene, very good scene…
Shrunken head: Come on Daniel, I’m the most talented shrunken head in this screen actor’s guild! In fact, I’m the only talking shrunken head in the guild!
Interviewer: Honestly…
