In a new interview
with Harry Potter cast members Katie Leung, Matthew Lewis, Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch each answer questions from fans in reference to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie.
Is it difficult being the underdog in the first few movies, then in this one you get a big role as part of Dumbedore's Army?
Matt: I enjoyed playing Neville in the first few films - making people laugh. I love doing that. Then this year to be given more responsibility in terms of the drama and the motion of the film and the action at the end - it's just been a big step up for me. The challenge has been wonderful and I've really, really enjoyed the last year and hopefully it'll continue.
Ginny's character has developed really well leading up to the important role in book six. Are you looking forward to that? What do you think of the way that Ginny's character has changed throughout the last five films?
Bonnie: In the sixth book and what happens in the relationship with Harry. It really shows she's not the little sister anymore - she's become herself. When I was reading it I wasn't expecting it at all - it was nice. I liked how it came through, as obviously in the first book she showed a liking towards Harry.
Additionally, stars Oliver and James Phelps, as well as Katie attended the Turkish premiere of the movie recently.
Thanks to Vildan and Jenny for the links.
UPDATE: You can see some great pictures from the Turkish premiere here courtesy of VTM.

The pictures from the Turkish premiere were really nice, and I think that the twins have gotten more handsome. Katie looked really nice as well.
The questions the kids asked in the interviews were fun, and I like that the kids seem to have stayed grounded. I know I comment on that a lot, but I think that it is important that none of them get big-headed.

Vert cool interview but how old is it? Since Matt said he hadn't seen Dan's play yet and would see it later, meaning it was a few months old, or maybe I read it wrong?

I really like this interview because them guys aren't the main charactors, and we don't really hear much from them! It was great reading it & getting to know them a little better!

I really love Neville in this book, I though Matt played him EXCELLENTLY in the film. And I'm glad they're now giving Bonnie bigger parts. She was only in little bits of the others, when she should've been in more. xxx

Neville is really going on strong from this book on. Just wait for more Neville action in film 6 and 7.
The same can be said for Ginny.

As the books have progressed I've come to like Neville. I wasn't too sure my feelings on him in the first book, but I like how Jo made him a more important character.
