level 11
原文
Radcliffe: What was lovely for us, and I think I speak for
everyone on set. You were around a lot at the beginning and early on. And as you
kind of saw that we weren’t going massively off script you backed off. Was that
hard?
Rowling: It was easy and a relief. I was around a
lot early on. I wanted the Great Hall to look right, I wanted Diagon Alley to
look right. There were details that I saw so clearly in my mind. I knew I could
help. I knew I could genuinely help and make it right for the readers. I felt a
huge protectiveness and loyalty to the readership. Once I knew it was running,
it was fine.
I have to say, inevitably you have to depart from the
strict storyline of the books. The books are simply too long to make into very
faithful films. I could think of many places it works just beautifully.
It didn’t have to be a word for word
transcription.
Radcliffe: I do sometimes think, if we
did make a 6 hour Harry Potter film there would be an audience.
Rowling: And they’d still be complaining that things
were wrong. And they’d still want the directors cut. So let’s not even go down
that route.
Radcliffe: Is there anything – talking about
things being cut out – is there anything we’ve cut that you were upset about?
And is there anything we put in that weren’t in the book that you thought were
great? Because I remember with Alfonso and the
Dementors..
Rowling: No, I remember exactly what it was
with Alfonso. First of all, on the Dementor point I thought he did those
beautifully. I loved the fact that they created the visceral dislike for the
Dementors. I love what he did for the Dementors. What it was, there was
something in the script. Alfonso really wanted to get music into the film. He
put the choir in, which I loved. But at one point he had this bizarre scene
where Flitwick was conducting and there were miniature people in an orchestra
inside something. And I just, you see, this is my geekiness, I said to him, “But
why?” I know it’s visually exciting, but part of what fans enjoyed about the
literary world is there was a logic that underpinned it. There was always logic
to the magic no matter however strange it became. I know it’s intriguing to go
through the mouth of whatever it was and see these little people, but why? Why
have they done it? For you to film it! That’s just what it feels like. You know,
normally with the magic there’s a point. So we had a bit of a discussion about
that.
Sometimes I’d dig my heels in about the funniest things. I’d say,
“Yeah change the costume. Yeah it can happen in that city instead of that city.
And all of a sudden, I’d say, ‘But they wouldn’t do that spell. Why would they
do that there? So I think sometimes I confused people. But I also remember,
right back at the beginning when you were cast I remember David Heyman calling
me up and saying, “We’ve tried green contact lenses. We can digitally alter his
eye color in post production. How important is it that his eyes are green?”
Radcliffe: That I will thank you
for.
Rowling: And I said, um, “The only really important
thing is that his eyes look like his mother’s eyes. So if you’re casting Lily,
there needs to be a resemblance, but they don’t absolutely have to be green.”
“Oh thank Christ,” he said. Were the lenses that
awful?
Radcliffe: There is a very small percentage of
people apparently who have a very extreme reaction to contact lenses. And I was
one of them.
Rowling: You poor thing. I feel really
bad.
Radcliffe: No, don’t worry! It was 10 years ago. It
was really fine.
