Exclusive: Potter stars talk Goblet Of Fire
Last night, we had the very good fortune to bump into Stanislav Ianevski and Robert Pattinson, out and about in London's West End. "Who?" we hear you cry. Well, you might know them better by the names of the characters that they play in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as they are, respectively, Viktor Krum and Cedric Diggory. So what did they have to say about the continuing adventures of the boy wizard?
"I play Quidditch for the Durmstrang School," said Ianevski, "and for Bulgaria at the beginning in the World Cup. It was a great experience. I never imagined I would be riding a broomstick, flying around chasing a little ball, but it went well, I think. It's like entering a whole new world – a great new experience, it's just fantastic."
So could Krum beat Potter at Quidditch? "Ummm, he's quite good at flying, but I might pick up on his skills, so I don't know."
Pattinson, however, didn't get to spend quite so much time in the air. "He's the guy who's actually playing, but I don't actually do any Quiddictch in the movie. I do a bit of talking about Quidditch, I guess."
He promised an even better film this time. "I think basically the characters have been developed pretty fully in the first three, and it's just going to take another turn into being more of a thriller, is more boom boom boom, to the climax. I think it's a much faster paced, action-y film than the others. I think that it's a little bit darker, and they kill off key characters. There's always going to be a little bit of a twist – killing someone is always a bit of a shock."
We even took the opportunity to pump him for information about Ralph Fiennes' role as He Who Must Not Be Named, Lord Voldemort. "I'm not actually allowed to say anything about it, but it is fantastic. That will be the most stunning sequence in the Potter series."
Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire is due in cinemas on November 18, but we'll bring you all your Potter news between now and then.
