Thursday and Friday's Connector: The cast of 'Harry Potter'
We want to Skype with you about what the 'Harry Potter' series means to you. Has it meant an escape from your world? Has it changed you in any way? Has it brought magic into your life? Tell us about your Potter journey by leaving a comment (below here) and we'll get in touch with you to come on our program.
It’s the movie legions of Harry Potter fans around the world have been waiting for. Well, part one of it anyway.
The first instalment of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" opens Friday, November 19, with part two following in July 2011.
The film will arrive amid more fanfare and higher expectations than any in the franchise so far. And the tone will be as dark as the book itself. No friendly Hogwarts school as a backdrop. No more games of quidditch. No angst-ridden budding teenage romances (you can watch the "Twilight" series for that).
This time it’s war. A struggle-to-the-death contest of good versus evil as Harry fights with the help of friends Hermione and Ron to rid the world of Lord Voldemort. Meanwhile, the man described as the most powerful dark wizard of all time has his own agenda: he wants to possess death.
I told you this was dark.
By the way, this would be a good time for a bit of disclosure. “Harry Potter” is put out by Warner Bros., which like CNN, is a unit of Time Warner.
Anyway, the bottom line is that there is no escaping this magical world.
Hundreds of millions of "Harry Potter" books have been sold in dozens of languages around the world.
The first six films have grossed $5.4 billion according to the Guinness Book of Records, making it the most successful film franchise ever.
Tourists from around the world enjoy the new Harry Potter attractions at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida.
There was even a transatlantic court case pitting author J.K. Rowling against a man who wanted to turn his very popular fan Web site into a book.
Through it all, we have watched the actors that played the characters at the heart of the novels grow up while learning of life, love and magic spells.
CNN's Becky Anderson spoke to members of the cast and we'll be bringing you all the interviews on Thursday and Friday in a two-day special edition of Connector of the Day
Tune in on Thursday November 11 and Friday November 12 at 2200 CET, 2100 London or 1600 New York time to watch us put your questions to the cast of "Harry Potter."

Did your work on the films affect your perception of the books in any way?
Hi, I grew up with Harry Potter, it's been like a secret world which I've shared with the others who've read the books. I have had lengthy conversations about all aspects of the books/movies with my siblings, friends, and even had animated discussion on some obscure topic of the story or characters with people I generally don't have much to do with. My best friend and I frequently joke that if all else fails "We can just talk about HP", thus our friendship could not possibly fail. HP has provided common ground like nothing else to my generation. I'm at university now, and I already have plans with friends to go watch the movie. My point is, it's been such an amazing experience growing up with the story, and I was wondering how all of you experienced it? Specifically in terms of how your experience differed from the regular reader/viewer's experience due to having starred in the movie franchise?
I'm also interested to know if any of you had read the first few books, prior to auditioning?

Is it difficult to switch off from your TV character to your normal ones and vice versa?
How does your perception of the "magic" in the movies differ between the shooting of the movies, and seeing the final product?
I just got back from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. We made a special trip out there to see the Harry Potter world. I had so much fun! We couldn't believe the detail in everything there. Was it close to how the sets were on the films (obviously scaled down...)? If I asked, would you all meet me down there for a day in the park? I teach middle schoolers in Minnesota and even though they think I am a total dork for being a 25 year old women totally into HP, I will be a fan forever! Thanks 🙂 And let me know about the park 😉

Why does Harry use the outdated science of Optometry to aid his vision when he could just use a magical spell to see well?
Also, why doesn't Harry use readily available modern muggle-scientific technology, like powerful automatic firearms, to conquer his enemies instead of merely (and ineffectively) waving a supposedly magical stick in their general direction ?
In conclusion; Is Harry a moron, or just delusional ?
When are you going to stop making these god awful movies? Thanks.
How do you feel about the fact that you will never have another cinematic role that can outshine this? Due to you being baptized according to these characters.
PS. Send me some of that "hard earned" money...

affecting young people who are inspired by you
– to how you learn the psychology... of inner peace- at brown university? ..
. do you still want to cast a spell- now that you move from harry potter- to inspiring young people in an adult world?

Writing you from the Bahamas, I started reading Harry Potter the minute it was released, and have seen every film. Watching you all grow up in front of the camera has made the film truley seem as realistic as a fantasy film can get. My question for you is, now that Harry Potter is coming to a close, do you think you will miss making the Harry Potter films?
I can not wait to see what films you all make from here on out.

First of all, cast, I LOVE YOU. I HAVE LOVED ALL OF YOU FOR YEARS. Okay? Got that? Good, don't forget it. Now that we've got that over with, the actual questions:
1. If you hadn't done the Harry Potter movies, what do you think you would be doing right now?
2. Have you ever considered careers other than acting?
3. What are your hobbies? (Also, do any of you like to write? Just out of curiosity...)
4. I have a theory that acting involves a lot of psychology, as you have to be able to understand your character and the way they think, the way they behave, well enough to become them. Would you say that this is true?
Thank you so much, and please, don't do anything stupid to make me stop loving you anymore. 🙂
This is specifically for Rupert...
Rupert,
Are you aware the the singer of STATES (www.statesmusic.com) is more than ready to be your female-knight in shining armor? 😉
Age 14; currently Paris, France, but from Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.
Does the above sound familiar? It should. This is my second post, because I forgot a very important question:
1. Have you ever watched "A Very Potter Musical"? If yes, then what do you think? If you haven't, then go on Youtube RIGHT AFTER this interview and do it. Siriusly. That's an order!
Okay, I'm done now. 🙂
Harry Potter has brought not only magic but special memories to my family from the time my daughter was 8 (now 17). She was starting a new school. We had just lost both Grandfathers within 4 months of each other , it was a very difficult time for us. Finding the Harry Potter World couldn't have come at a better time. We were introduced to kids her age that had the same values and were close loyal friends. We shared Christmases with them and grew stronger with them. They could over come negativity and bullying and it was a world we felt we could belong in. We have felt at home in the HP World and feel a special connection to the kids and their lives. It will be hard to let them go. It was a fun escape for our entire family.
POOF oh hello there wizadry potter cast I always wondered if you are tired of acting and want to put at rest and start a new career like Emma your a pretty girl pardon, lady you have a huge variety of choices Mr.Radcliffe and the others do but you do have a bigger chance what would you go for in you career?
Thank you have a great interview 🙂
Harry Potter is principally responsible for bringing my Wife and I together. At the time I was living in Panama City Beach, Florida, and my future wife was in College in colorado.
We both found our escape into a world of fantasy where the secret pagan inside us all could suspend disbelief in the pages of a book about the secret magic underlying our society.
With a shared interest, we both interacted through a chat application provided by a popular fan website at the time. Adopting online personas in the chat room, we gradulaly spent more time together under false names and ages, she pretending to be younger, I pretending to be older.
Over a period of months, one day I called her on the phone and we hit it off. A couple of visits across the country later, she and I were engaged to be married - which we were 2 years to the date from the first time we spoke online in a harry potter chat room!
As I write this, my wife and I celebrated 5 years together this past july and we share a great library - including of course individual his and hers sets of the hardback editions of the Harry Potter series!
Hi!! I´m Cristina, I´m 20 years and I´m from Panama, I grew up with Harry Potter..I´m fan of the books since I was 9 years old !! I can´t believe it´s actually coming to end very soon..I few weeks ago a visit the wizarding world of Harry Potter in Orlando and it was AWESOME!!! It was like being in a magic world
The first HP book came out when I was 11 years old. My mother, a former librarian, read it and passed it on to me. Then she read it out loud to my 8 year old sister. My father, hearing her read it, asked what Quidditch meant, and then decided to read it for himself. This began my family's relationship with Harry Potter.
For several years, I grew up with Harry, as the books came out one per year, and I was the same age as Harry. Later, the release dates were more spread out, so that by the time the last was released, my sister was Harry's age.
While my whole family has bonded through Harry Potter (we're taking a family vacation to the theme park for Thanksgiving), the books have helped my relationship with my sister more than anything. Even now, I'm 25 and she's 20, and I called her last week with a Harry Potter joke. Five years apart, for most of our lives we had a hard time connecting. 10 and 15, 15 and 20, these are different ages. We couldn't connect on music or boys. But we could relate through Harry Potter. Even today, I don't think anyone understands my feeling about those books as well as she does.
I do not like the Harry Potter movies,they are full of witch craft and do not believe in that.It would not bother me at all if they never made another one.
It means there's a hirsute guy somewhere in England who makes pots.
I have been a harry potter freak my whole life. I have read all the books and seen every movie so far and personally from my heart I would give anything to meet the cast for a minute of my life just to live my dream. people say things like "I know everything about harry potter" and maybe their right but I can honestly say that I dont know everything. But I do know a lot and considering what I know, I have an enormous amount of questions for each and every character including the people who play Voldemort, Snape, Neville, the Weasleys, and Hagrid. Also the main characters including Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I know I have a very rarely chance of getting in to meet the characters. But the most I could ask for is a chance to see the woman who inspired me to become a magician. J.K. Rowling!! Like I said I have a rarely slim chance of meeting them and I dont take it so hard so thank you for reading this and I cant wait for the movie!!!!!
sorry i thought it was kind of boring, no memories
I'm happy JK Rowlings is retiring. I'm sick of Harry Potter, and pray that my son doesn't take ANY interest in it whatsoever!!
So what does Harry Potter mean to me? Well aside from sharing a birthday and almost the same age (the literary character is 4 yrs older than I am) these books brought me back to reading a genre I hadn't explored since I was in middle school. I grew up on Goosebumps and Encyclopedia Brown novels and there wasn't anything really that would get me to read things geared to my age so instead I moved on to reading way heavier things such as Crime and Punishment in 6th grade. When my mother told me to read the series the 3rd book had just been released and I refused. I said "it's for kids." It wasn't until she pretty much begged me to read just one and I catered to her will as I was hooked. Not only did I read the first 4 books in less than two weeks while still in school, it brought me back to just enjoying reading something I could completely escape into. I hadn't read anything like that since Lord of the Rings and even that didn't have as much power in terms of investing into characters as HP did for me. It got to the point that by book 7 I wouldn't let the book out of my site until I had finished it. I at one point lost it in a bar here in NYC. (that's how bad it got, haha) I have to thank Ms. Rowling for ldetting me escape and just enjoy the ride.
I was a 45 year old lady when the 1st Harry Potter book came out in 1997. I'm now 58. I had only re-read two book series in my life time more than once, UNTIL the Harry Potter series! Those other book series were "The Deed of Paksenarrion" novels by Elizabeth Moon, and R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." However, each time a new Harry Potter book would come out, I would go back and re-read ALL the previous books so that I would remember where they left off and the new book picked up the story!! That means I've read the whole series at least seven times!! In case you are wondering, I have both an undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which was in library science, so I know books! About three months ago, I just felt like re-reading the series AGAIN, and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time I read it! I'm not sure, but I think it touches the kid in me, with the imaginary world... After all, aren't books and movies for kids a whole lot more fun than the serious adult stuff? When you are a grown up, it seems to me that you get enough of that in your real life. Why clutter up your mind with MORE depressing adult problems?! Not only do I have ALL the Harry Potter books, but I own ALL the Harry Potter movies too! Thanks to J.K. Rowling for the books, and thanks to all the actors and actresses that made the Harry Potter books come alive on screen!! It's been a wonderful experience.
Witchcraft, pure and simple. Satan has found a very successful way of introducing unsuspecting and unbelieving people to witchcraft.

Harry Potter has been my backbone ever since I started reading it in 2nd grade. It helped me by providing an escape from the world I live in. My family has been transferred between countries, and when that happened, I became very vulnerable. At that time, I considered Harry, Ron, and Hermione my best friends since they helped me cope to the new environment the most. The end of the series (both book and movie) is like leaving high school and going to college. I can always read them again when I'm feeling low, and that, I feel is the best part of Harry Potter.
I am a 52 year old woman and I took my, now adult, children to see all the Harry Potter films. I think I enjoy the movies as much as my children did. For ME it meant an escape from this world. A journey with a happy ending.
The biggest scam job in movie history for an overated bunch of nonesense hyped up to entice gullible, bored peopel ! I could write better stuff effortlessly !
The Harry Potter series have been a big part in all of our lives. We all remember the hype and excitement just before the release of the Deathly Hallows, and because of that the series will always be special to us. But obviously future generations will keep on reading the series, so my questions are: 'How do you hope people will experience the Harry Potter book and movie series in, for example, twenty years? And how do you hope to be remembered by the 'original' fans, now that you are free to do whatever you want in your carreer.'
age 33,i love harry potter's movies and books they put me into another world.i cant wait to see this recent one HARRY POTTER 7 i feel so excited.
I remember sitting in the cafe of Barnes and Noble, sipping my latte and eating earwax flavored jelly beans. I was so involved finishing Half Blood Prince I almost didn't see the kids (and some adults) dressed in their wizard robes, capes, and pointed hats floating past me in the shop. As it got closer to the premier, magic shows began to pop up in-store, as well as house sorting, owl shows, and potion making. After lining up with my friends, I remember the tension and excitement as the clock hit midnight. The anticipation as we waited and the exhilaration getting the book was ten times better than any Halloween I had had as a child.
Harry Potter has been so successful and so entertaining because its world is so encompassing. It sucks you in and regardless of age allows you to imagine. Whether on page or screen, one can completely lose his or her world and fall into one where wizards and witches exist, werewolves and goblins roam about, and trolls may lurk in dark dungeons. It's this same magic people hope to reclaim and bring back into the everyday hum drum of muggle living.
Harry Potter can only be described as a friendly, addictive, fully fleshed alternate reality, constanlty existing during our childhood and adolescence....I never beleived that Hogwarts was a place for me to escape(unlike Middle-Earth), since Jo Rowling had made sure that all the characters in Harry Potter were simple, everyday-life, human beings. They were very real friends and their stories interested me, not because they made forget my own story, but because they enriched it and complemented it. Hogwarts was just like my school, but with a wonderful magical twist...
HP introduced me to a world of literature, fantasy and even to a new, more critical, way of viewing society. It also introduced me to people, with whom I will always share a friendship with.(both real and imaginative). HP helpled me learn English( I am Greek) and introduced me to the Internet and to filmmaking. Last but not least, HP has created for me a convinient platform of communication with the child inside me. The words "Harry Potter" are now filled with coming-of-age memories, mostly irrelevant to the story itself and for that I know I have to thank Harry, Ron and Hermione...
I wan't to know how does the entire cast feel now when the journey is coming to an end, happy or sad? I as a fan feel sad that my wait for both HP book and movie is coming to an end. 🙁
... Hi I'm Angie and I'm 13 years, I'm writing from Italy. I'm an Harry potter's fan since I was 4. 😀 My hero is Daniel Radcliffe and I 'd like to ask him: "
Hi! I'm Angie... I'm 13 years and I'm writing from Italy. I'm an Harry-Potter's fan since I was 4 😀 . My hero is Daniel Radcliffe and I'd like to ask him:" After all these years working at Harry Potter films... when you'll finish all hp's films...Will you miss "Harry" ? 😀
I remember back in 2nd or 3rd grade when the 5th book came out (the largest one of the series) I saw lots of kids older and younger carrying the book that is basically 20% of their weight and It seemed really funny at the time. I wasn't one of them because at the time I could barely read 5 pages before getting bored out of my mind lol.

Hi! What other projects are you interested in? Other film genres, other countries, theater, etc?
My first four books of Harry Potter were a present from my grandmother on my 10th birthday(there were just 4 books out then).Perhaps my best birthday present ever.
My question is for Daniel.If you weren't playing harry potter's role and if it were up to you what other character would you have liked to play?and if you had written the final book would you have ended it any differently?
Firstly, thank you for all the entertainment and magic you have all brought to the world. The happiness you've given to the world's children and adults is a wonderful thing.
I know there will be sadness as you all 'graduate' from Hogwarts; I am wondering where you see yourselves in ten years? What types of roles do you hope to play after HP?

Harry Potter has been a significant and driving force in my life. I have met the most wonderful people through the fandom of HP, and my best friend and I are as close as we are because of the books. I chose my life goals based on the love of reading that Harry and Jo Rowling inspired in me– I want to edit children's books, and hopefully be able to bring kids books that will mean as much to them as the Potter series has meant to me. I also did my undergraduate thesis on Harry Potter; it discusses the difference between the British and American versions of the book, and the marketing of the American books to a younger audience.
Harry Potter is, quite honestly, one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
Absolutely nothing
I feel that the Harry Potter series is a true representation of what creativity can be – the character development, setting, themes, and intricacy of the books are absolutely amazing. I believe that it sets one of the standards for creative thinking in modern society...
To me the series is an escape from the realities of life; I can forget about everything and immerse myself in the plot. They are the books that sate hunger for reading when I can't find a good new release, no matter how many times I read it!
Harry Potter is an escape! I can forget about my work, and dream of flying a broom @ Hogwarts, laughing at students failed spells, and not think about work. IF I were at Hogwarts I would...
A couple of examples...
A
I would be the defense against dark arts teacher. (More like Lupin but less warewolf, and not die in the last battle.) I would fight against evil and take on Voldemort as much as I could live to tell about it.
B
I would be a student at Hogwarts many years ago, learning the elements of magic, everyday would be exciting as I developed my powers. Learning new spells daily, testing and honing my skills. Dreaming about working with Ministry of Magic.
Harry Potter is a non-starter for me. I prefer reality, guess am just too old.
seems like a radical story!!
only saw one of the movies though everybody!!!!!!
bonus waves!!
Harry Potter, in one succinct word, is childhood. I read the books in elementary school, went to the midnight release parties in high school, and continue to fall in love with them in college. The world that J.K. Rowling created is one in which people everywhere, no matter their background or age, can find comfort in- one filled with characters we refuse to believe are fictional, and trials and tribulations we all meet- good vs. evil, morality vs. immorality, love vs. hate, and light vs. dark. Harry Potter is more than a book series- it's love, it's good, and it's an incredible accomplishment, one that future generations will continue to submerge themselves in.
The Harry Potter books gave me a window into the adolescent and teenage mind and helped me raise two very special sons who did not fit in the norm. They are gifted but not in the ways that our schools like to measure. They are 18 and 20 now and we all survived those years- with a little help from Harry.
if another book was writen would you come back and do it
Do you believe that your films are the best British productions ever?
i grew up with Harry Potter both the books and the films
and the cast of Harry Potter, i saw their growth too.. 😀
it was hurting enough when i bought the last book of HP, Deathly Hallows.. :'(
my question to the casts of HP, will you all be reunite someday?
The thing about Harry Potter is that it is a mythic heroe's tale that had an inetersting mix of vulnerability, irrrationality and above all friendship. Rowling was able to induce natural flaws in everyone that made the characters real.
YEs!!! I still cry while going through Dumbeldore and Sirius' deaths one of the primary reasons why I just cannot read those parts again. 🙂
My question to Daniel; DO YOU STILL BELIEVE your luck????
The Harry Potter series is a phenomenon in English literature which I believe will stand the test of time to be considered a beloved classic in years to come. i read my first HP when I was 25 and now at 33 and mother to a 2 year-old who already loves books and stories, I just can't wait till my son is old enough to be introduced the magical world of Harry Potter!
JK Rowling is a supremely talented writer and I look forward to reading more works published by her.
I think the Harry Potter books/movies are fine for children and young teens. What I don't understand is how anyone with a brain over 20 can be interested in such nonsense. I don't see the appeal due to its predictability. Harry Potter is no different than the chronicles of Narnia to me which really has not captured interest in as many adults as Potter, even though it was published in the 50's and should have a broader appeal.
I have not read any of the series, but have seen reviews on the the tv and perhaps watched bits in movies. My conclusion is that the devil have found a veritable ground to initiate the uninformed into his world. Are surprise at the rate of suicides, killings and all manner of evil being perpetuated by our children and young adults. We must condemn the producers of this demonic films that has nothing to teach our children but evil, repent of this and ask God for forgiveness and mercies.
I like the book series very much. And the interesting thing is my Chinese name sound quite similar to Hermione-though I made a little change in the spelling-which makes me feel like a part of Harry Potter thing ,and it is really cool, isn't it?
Anyway ,I wish the three young actors or actress all have bright future whether they choose to leave in the entertainment circle or not.
is there a particular moment from this film that you enjoyed shooting the most?

The movie was extra ordinary, it really changed my world,i felt like possesing the magic to levitate. ("Don gadian leviosa")
I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They're really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
