500 wands made for Deathly Hallows
“Everyone’s got their own continuity wand, even down to the Death Eaters. All the principal characters have their own wands, and they’re all listed and accounted for, and it’s an amazing system. And each wand is individual. It’s an incredible job just designing those and to keep trying to think up different designs for wands, but when you look at them, they are just totally different.” “Each...

There’s so much great detail in the books. Jasson Isaacs: I didn’t have kids when I got the job in “Chamber of Secrets.” They’ve been very generous with our schedule to allow me and lots of actors to do other things. But one of the things they did was schedule around the birth of my first daughter on “Chamber of Secrets.” So subsequently I’ve read an awful lot of children’s books. Not only did I...

I read how you read the first four “Harry Potter” books in three days’ time. Are you a big fan of children’s or fantasy literature? Jasson Isaacs: No, not at all. In fact I was slightly sniffy about these books. I didn’t understand why some of my contemporaries were laughing at them and asking if I’d read them. I take the tube a lot in England and grown-ups – people of drinking and volunteering...

Would you say Lucius is the worst villain you’ve played? Jasson Isaacs: No, he’s not the worst. He’s a terrible coward. And in the end he doesn’t really get to do very much. He’s all bark and no bite, really. If he were capable of doing anything, he might be among the most vicious and the consequences would be calamitous. But he’s far more concerned with what he looks like and what he sounds like...

Did you have any real-world model for your interpretation of Malfoy? Jasson Isaacs: When I got cast and looked at the first film, I saw Alan Rickman, who is the world’s greatest bad man and was tremendous as the sinister Snape, and I thought, “What the hell am I going to do? How am I going to pull off anything that’s in any way distinctive?” All I had to do was look around. I don’t know what you...

Did the book series coming to an end – and knowing that ending – change your interpretation of the character filming movies based on earlier books in the series? Jasson Isaacs: Yeah, I feel quite lucky actually because Lucius had an actual journey. There’s a number of characters that didn’t change that much but he started off being such an arrogant [jerk] and a monstrous bigot and racist that I...

Have you said goodbye to the “Harry Potter” films? Jason Isaacs: I came to the end of the line last Christmas. Sometime in December, I think it was. I’ve been trying to milk it as much as I can with a bit of ADR and publicity and stuff because I can’t bear to say goodbye. I don’t think any of us can.

What is it exactly that you can’t bear to leave — the people, the character, the story itself? Jasson Isaacs: All those and more. There’s lots to love about “Harry Potter.” All the things you normally experience on films, the very opposite is true of this. The set is a very happy and comforting place. Most sets are places with a throbbing undertone of fear that everyone’s taken the wrong job in...
Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.

“It’s a huge honor. The Halloween episode has become a big tradition in The Simpsons so I’m very excited to be part of it. I play a Twilight-inspired vampire who befriends and falls in love with Lisa. It’s actually the culmination of my life so far. It’s everything I have been living for!” - Daniel Radcliffe

“I’ve got two pairs of glasses. One from the seventh film, which were lensless. And also I have a pair with lenses from the first film which just seem like the tiniest little things now. So it’s very sweet and they both have quite a place in my heart. That was the only thing I wanted. I didn’t want the wand, I certainly didn’t want the broom, and so those were the only things I had my heart set...

What house do you claim to? Slytherin.
Why? Because I can get super mean when I want to and I’d say that I have a lot of ambition in to me to get what I want. Also I’m very quick with making judgements about people before I even get to know them.

“Rupert is the most laid-back person you’ve ever met. ‘He is not bothered by anything. You might tell him that his scene has been pushed back for three hours and he’ll be fine and mutter: “I’ll just play ping pong for a few more hours.” He’s unfazed by the fans and the fuss but he remains a ferociously talented actor. He has expert timing and delivery with no effort whatsoever.” - Tom...

‘But more than anything else he [Radcliffe] is exceptionally passionate. I can be on set for two weeks and be bored of going over the same scenes. He will have been there nearly two months solid and still be over the moon about filming the next day. He is so passionate about the film and the franchise that he will be on set even on the days he is not needed. People think there must be jealousy but...

“I remember my first scene with Alan Rickman and I was anxious because he is a slight “method” actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like Snape — it is quite terrifying. But I really wanted to talk to him because Robin Hood was one of my favourite films. After I plucked up the courage, we chatted for about half an hour, and he told me where he got his inspiration from and...

‘My parents did what they could, but when money is thrust upon you so are a load of other things: tax, VAT, mortgages — things a 16-year-old really doesn’t know anything about. I got myself into a bit of trouble. There was a scary two years where it was madness because I was really in trouble with the taxman. I had been working for eight years and all I had to show for it was this horrible debt....
