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.

I'm so excited about the next movie. I can not really see Bonnie and Dan kissing but that's just because the movie doesn't really give them the chance like th book. I can't wait to see them! It's going to be great.

We FINALLY get to hear from the other actors and actresses!! Not that I don't love hearing from Dan, Emma, and Rupert, it's just that Bonnie and the others tend to be pushed aside to make way for the trio. I love them all!!

I thought the interviews with the actors were over but I am sure since the movie has been out for a month they want to remind people to see it or see it again.

I totally agree! It's definitely a big step for Matthew Lewis in his role in the fifth.
It was a disappointment, though, that Bonnie wasn't give that much lines in the movie (I didn't even notice her spaeking!), when, in fact, she just HAS to have more lines.
Oh, once the sixth movie comes out... I'm going to be SOOOOO JEALOUS of Bonnie and Ginny!!! ;)

Great!Nice to see the other stars of HP.As much as I love book 6 and Ginny,to be honest I don't really like the fact that she and Harry ended up together,eventhough its quite obvious.

I think it is really cool how you can see how much the Characters change. I agree with Matt about how Neville has to start acting more responsible for what he does. And with Bonnie that ginny is growing up more and acting like an adult.

I agree with Bonnie. I love that part of the story, I can't wait to see her in the last HP movie.
I guess I can't wait to see them all in this next one though.

Hehe, the Turkish premiere. Hmm, it took a while for it to be released there. *sigh* James and Oliver. I wonder who plays Fred - I can't believe I don't know this. Well, off to IMDB, of course.
Wow, Katie's a very pretty girl - her make-up artists just need to make her look less shiny, like how they do in the movies. Too much make-up? Or sweat from the heat and lights from the cameras? I liked her hair better in GoF than in OotP.
Heh, I wonder if Evanna and Bonnie are good friends in real life like in the books.

I agree with Matt that Neville does take a huge step as a person. And what Bonnie said about Ginny not just being the little sister anymore. I think its really cool how we can see how these Characters grow into adults.
