The interviews just keep coming. Two new interviews with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix actresses Evanna Lynch and Emma Watson have appeared online.
Evanna talks
about the books, whether Snape is good or bad and the new movie.
Question: So, what's your opinion? Is Snape good or bad?
Answer: Good, good, there is no question in my opinion. I have too much faith in Dumbledore to believe he is bad. I think it would destroy the character of Dumbledore and that would be too tragic to think about. I don't like Snape as a person but I believe he is with the good guys. I think he feels responsible for Lily's death because he told Voldy part of the prophecy without realizing it was about her. And when he found out it was his fault he was completely wracked with guilt and by confessing to Dumbledore and agreeing to help the good side and ultimately Harry, Snape hopes to be able to earn Lily's forgiveness so that he can rest in peace. I also noticed that while Snape was killing Dumbledore, there was hatred blazing in his eyes, and that makes me wonder even if he was killing Dumbledore for Voldemort and not on Dumbledore's orders. There would be no reason for Snape to hate him. Voldemort could, but Dumbledore has never had any relations with Snape that should make him hate him. I don't think it was a mistake that earlier in the book at the cave when Harry is force feeding Dumbledore the potion it is written that Harry was "hating himself" for doing it. Snape was just hating himself for having to kill Dumbledore. He knew it was for the greater good but it still pained him to do it. One could argue that if it was for good intent Snape would not have been able to kill him but I think he channeled the self hatred (there is a lot of self hatred there, poor old Snape) into the curse, and viola, he killed Dumbledore. That's just a little thing, but it contributes to the overall belief: Snape is good.
In a new interview with Emma Watson, Emma discusses the new film, fashion, traveling to France to visit family and what she wants to do when the movies are all done.
Talking about the Half-Blood Prince movie and kissing Ron:
Kissing Rupert's going to be sooo awkward. I'm trying not to think about it ... it's all part of the job I guess. Don't tell him I said that. Rupert's lovely. Girls would probably give their left arm to be in my position, so I'm certainly not complaining.

YAY! I love how Evanna is just like us: a very serious fan! She's so sweet. I can't imagine what a dream come true it must be for her to be working on the movies. :)

I would give a leg, an arm, and my left ear to kiss Rupert Grint! Count your blessing, Emma Watson!!
Have I mentioned that I loved Evanna? She is a hardcore Harry Potter fan and she has the same theories as me.

I'd give my left arm to kiss Rupert :) but I understand it is very awkward, them having been friends for such a long time... Poor Emma. But then it really is just part of the job.
Glad to hear Evanna believes in Snape's innocence, always knew she was an intelligent girl :)

I love Evanna's reasoned argument for Snape being good! How fantastic to have an actress in the HP series that has not only read the books, but is an ardent fan of the books so much so that she can intelligently debate a theory. I'm SO HAPPY!!

As much as I love Evanna, I disagree. Snape is evil - he killed Dumbledore!!!

I can see Evanna's theory though. I thought that snape was pure evil, like star chaser, but now I'm not so sure. I need to find HBP.
Can't wait to see the movie! and read the final outcome for Harry, Ron, Hermione and everyone!

She has to say good, not to give away any clues to what is happening in Book 7. If she was to say bad, the alot would start to think, and ask questions.

Topher2707 says:
I think she has a good theory, but I still believe that Snape is purely evil, or at least was when he killed Dumbledore. I think there is a chance that he could switch over to the good guys' side, but when he killed Dumbledore I think he was completely with Voldemort. I kind of hope he stays evil though, because I really hope that Harry gets chance to kill him.

That's a very good theory Evanna has about Snape! It's so cool that she's just a die hard HP like us... :)
(Yay, Emma thinks she'll have to kiss Rupert, which means she thinks Ron and Hermione will end up together! :) )

Emma probably wouldn't complain if she had to kiss Dan.

In fact, her type description pretty much points to Dan. Dan also wasn't too happy about his kiss with Katie (probably the same with Bonnie since Dan barely ever hngs out with Bonnie).

I have to agree with the reasons Luna Lovegood - I mean, Evanna Lynch - presented for believing that Snape's motives and loyalties still lie with Dumbledore.
According to the report, J.K. Rowling revealed to her some things about Luna that will happen in book seven. Hmmm....I wonder what those could be.

I do love how Evanna is such a fan, it is horrible to listen to actors / actresses who obviously do not understand the entire HP universe the way a true fan does. Also, I just find it funny that Emma is going to be embarrassed to kiss Rupert. How cute. haha

I don't think that Ron & Hermione kiss in HBP!!!??? Or maybe this is another "movie moment" like the hand-holding in the hippogriff scene.

Is it just me who doesn't recall Hermione ever kissing Ron in Half Blood Prince? No one seems to have mentioned the fact it never happened.
If it did happen, and I misread the book nine times, I'm very sorry.

I don't think Hermione & Ron ever kissed. Sounds like it is written in the script.
