(Video) Dan Radcliffe & J.K. Rowling Membahas Casting Harry Potter untuk Film

Harry Potter: the Quest merilis teaser baru dari obrolan ekslusif Daniel Radcliffe dan J.K. Rowling, yang akan ditampilkan di DVD/DB Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, yang akan rilis bulan November. Dalam preview, Dan dan Jo membahas bagaimana aktor muda mendapat peran Harry Potter, lebih dari 11 tahun yang lalu, dimana Dan bertemu David Heyman dan Steven Kloves, obrolan selengkapnya dapat dilihat dibawah ini...

Daniel Radcliffe: Okay, so I thought, to begin at the beginning, how involved were you in the casting process and how much do I have to thank you? Do you remember working with Chris?

JK Rowling: I was involved. Not to the extent that I was sitting in on auditions, but they were keeping me really fully informed. As you know, we found Rupert and Emma and they were perfect and that was a done deal. But we still couldn’t find you. Well, you say how you were found because it was amazing, really.

Dan: Well, it was a bizarre kind of moment. Originally what had happened was that David Heyman, the producer, knew my dad because my dad had been a literary agent, and my dad had worked with David’s mum. So David asked my dad if I would audition. And the original deal we’d heard was going to be to do six films and it was going to be done in America.

Jo: It was going to be done in America? No one ever told me that.

Dan: Well, maybe that’s why it changed because you probably put your foot down at some point, or they just went, “ Jo won’t agree to that.”

Jo: Yeah, they know me quite well.

Dan: Which is good, to be honest. That would not have been good. But I’m not somebody who particularly believes in fate and destiny and all those things, but my parents do. So the final straw was the fact that I went to the theatre to see a production of “Stones in His Pockets” and David Heyman and Steve Kloves, who adapted all but one of the books, happened to be sitting in the row in front.

Jo: Can you believe it?

Dan: I know, and I sat there the entire time thinking, “Why is that man …

Jo: “… staring at me? This is very creepy?”

Dan: It was very creepy.

Jo: “I need to phone someone.”

Dan: It was very odd. And I remember at the interval my mum and my dad both looking quite intense about something. But, you know, as a kid that you’re being purposely kept out of the loop for your own good kind of thing. I remember we went up the stairs and out the theatre and then hid behind a pillar. I seem to remember some absurd notion that David Heyman and Steve Kloves were going to chase after us.

Jo: “We’re going to attack. And make you be a child actor.”

Dan: Then there was some debate as to whether we would go back in for the second half, but I was really enjoying the play.

Jo: Really? They were that …?

Dan: Yeah, and so we went back in. And then the next day my mum and dad went, “Oh, well maybe it is the gods trying to tell us something.

Jo: But there were a lot of strange coincidences.

Dan: There were.

Jo: And then they called me and said, “We think we’ve found him.” And then the first time I ever saw you was on screen in my sitting room at home.

Dan: Really?

Jo: Yeah, they sent me a video of you. The curious thing is – and I’m like you, I don’t believe in fate and destiny …

Dan: Which is interesting because it comes up so much in the books.

Jo: Yeah, absolutely. I think you make your own. So I saw you on that audition tape and I don’t think I’ve ever really told you that I found it incredibly moving.

Dan: Thank you so much.

Jo: It was incredibly moving. At that point, I didn’t have a son. I phoned David up and I said, “He’s great. He’s fantastic.” And I did say to David it was like watching my son onscreen. Because, after all, Harry feels like this ghostly son I’ve had in my life.

Happy Magical 24th Birthday, Tom Felton!

Muncul dan membuat kagum banyak pecinta film dengan aksinya sebagai Draco Malfoy dalam Harry Potter, Tom Felton semakin memantapkan karirnya di dunia film di usianya yang ke-24, yang tepat jatuh hari ini (22/9). Happy birthday Tom!

Yep, mungkin tak disangka-sangka oleh Tom sendiri, jika di usianya yang masih belia, dirinya akan bisa menjalani karir luar biasa di dunia film dengan jutaan fans di seluruh dunia. 12 tahun yang lalu, Tom mengikuti audisi untuk film Harry Potter, yang tak disangkanya membawa kesuksesan dan popularitas yang mungkin tak didapatkan banyak bintang lain.

Tepat di hari jadi ke-24-nya, KapanLagi.com mengumpulkan beberapa fakta menarik tentang Tom Felton, yang mungkin tak diketahui dan tak muncul ke permukaan kala sang aktor memerankan Draco Malfoy dan beberapa peran lain yang dimainkannya. Apa saja?

1. Mudah bagi Tom untuk mendalami peran Draco Malfoy yang sering mengerjai teman-teman di sekolahnya. Pasalnya, Tom adalah 'korban bulan-bulanan' sang kakak ketika masih kecil. Cukup ingat sang kakak, maka terciptalah sudah sosok Draco dalam pikirannya.

2. Sejak 2005, Tom mulai gemar bermain gitar. Kecintaannya pada musik pun diwujudkan dalam beberapa video yang dipostingnya lewat Youtube dan website pribadinya.

3. Tom kecanduan McDonald's! Bahkan, Tom makan siang di restoran fastfood ini setiap hari!

4. Dari semua genre musik, Tom paling suka hip-hop dan rap. Rencananya, Tom akan segera terjun ke dunia musik dan rekaman bersama beberapa musisi hip hop dan rapper ternama selepas Harry Potter.

5. Salah satu hal yang paling diingat dari sosok Draco Malfoy yang diperankan Tom adalah rambut pirang terangnya. Padahal, rambut asli Tom berwarna brunette. Alhasil, Tom harus mem-bleaching rambutnya untuk film Harry Potter.

6. Kalau punya kesempatan kuliah, Tom ingin mengambil jurusan Manajemen Perikanan.

7. Tom pernah 'dilamar' oleh beberapa fans Harry Potter, yang tentunya langsung ditolak olehnya.

8. Ada seorang pria yang mengubah namanya secara legal menjadi Lucius Malfoy, dengan harapan dirinya bisa mengadopsi Tom. Come on, Tom kan bukan Draco!

9. Cinta pertama Tom adalah Helena Bonham Carter, yang memerankan Bellatrix Lestrange, bibinya dalam Harry Potter.

10.Salah satu keinginan Tom yang tak kesampaian adalah menculik Daniel Radcliffe, sang pemeran Harry Potter, dari lokasi syuting, agar semua kru kelabakan.

Once again, happy birthday, Tom! Blow the candle and make a wish!

Preview Obrolan Daniel Radcliffe & J.K. Rowling di DVD/BD Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Preview singkat wawancara Daniel Radcliffe dan J.K. Rowling dari BD/DVD Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, rilis 11 November di AS dan 2 Desember di Inggris, telah dirilis oleh Yahoo! Dalam klip, Dan membahas para penggemar Harry Potter dan bagaimana itu meluas dari buku ke film. Dapat dilihat dibawah ini...

Dan Radcliffe: It’s interesting actually if you start to think for a moment not about these characters being characters, but if you think about the lives these characters actually have within the books and the fact that - to a certain level - because they exist in the collective conscientiousness of a generation, they do exist.

I always think that’s one of the wonderful things about Potter and the Potter fan base, is that whereas if you think about the other big costume-wearing and all that kind of stuff that goes with it – things like Star Wars and Star Trek - what’s interesting is that Potter, because it started off as a literary thing, has kind of created a generation of the same kind of mentality of geeky thoroughness, but with an appetite for reading and literature, which is kind of amazing.

Jo Rowling: It was wonderful. It was just the most wonderful thing.

Kemudian, Moviefone merilis wawancara ini dengan Dan dimana ia mengaku belum menonton film Star Wars. Dapat dibaca dibawah ini...

What's your opinion of the comparisons between 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars.' Do you enjoy 'Star Wars'?
Daniel Radcliffe: [sighs and starts smiling]

Wait, you've never seen 'Star Wars'?
Daniel: I know, and now this information is going to be out there in the world.

Wow. That's hard to do.
Daniel: I know. Yeah, I know. It's really bad.

So not any of the six movies?
Daniel: I saw 'The Phantom Menace,' and everyone's like, "You saw that one! You didn't see the originals?!" I know! I was ten! I didn't know any better!

I have the Blu-rays on me if you really want to watch them.
Daniel: Oh, you can't give me the Blu-rays! I think, actually, somebody is planning on getting them for me. Here's my opinion, though. Not on the films or the filmmaking, because I'm sure they're amazing and incredible. And I know that I would love them because I'm a geek -- so I would definitely get into them. What 'Star Wars' and 'Potter' have in common is a huge devoted fan base. Where they differ, I think there is a -- and this is my perception, I may be completely wrong -- I think there is a slightly more balanced split between the sexes in the fan base of 'Potter.'

I associate 'Star Wars' as being a predominantly male thing. And I think 'Potter' is split more evenly. The difference is also that any kind of a franchise where a world is created will then engender a generation of nerds. Fantastic! Nerds are the best things in the world. I think of myself as a nerd. What was the Bill Gates thing? "Be nice to nerds, you'll probably be working for them one day."

But I think the difference is because 'Potter' started out as a book, it's created a generation of literary nerds in a way that 'Star Wars' perhaps didn't. But, basically, it's all the same. I mean, I do think of 'Potter' as being this generation's 'Star Wars.' It's something that an entire generation as lost themselves in and it's a meticulously created, detailed world. So I do think that's the closest thing to compare it to.

Video Behind-The-Scenes Adegan Ciuman Ron & Hermione di Deathly Hallows 2

Yahoo! merilis sebuah video behind-the-scenes memperlihatkan pembuatan adegan ciuman Ron and Hermione di Chamber of Secrets di Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, yang akan ditampilkan di set delapan-film edisi kolektor. Klip, dengan David Yates mengomentari pada bagaimana bahwa betapa canggungnya itu untuk Rupert Grint dan Emma Watson, dan ciuman itu sendiri di ruangan green-screen dapat dilihat dibawah ini...



David Yates: They’re like brother and sister. They’re both very nervous. Emma’s very smart. She decided if she was going to avoid 27 takes, she was going to get it right the first time. And we were about to roll and I just see Emma brace herself. And I see that conviction that she’s got. She goes, “We’re not going to mess around here.” (laughs) Rupert hadn’t quite reached that same point and I think Rupert wasn’t quite expecting it. And then she just went for it.

Masuk Guinness Records

Prestasi bisa datang dalam rupa dan bentuk apa saja. Sebagaimana rilis resmi dari Guinness World Records edisi terkini, yang mencantumkan beberapa nama pesohor ke dalamnya. Sebagaimana diwartakan MSN Music, Rabu (14/9) sejumlah nama sohor dari Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber hingga keluarga kerajaan Inggris, yaitu The Duke dan Duchess of Cambridge atau Pangeran William dan Kate Midleton ternyata masuk dalam Guinness World Records.

Demikian halnya dengan serial TV Hawaii Five-0 dan pengarang sukses Harry Potters, J.K. Rowling. Mereka semua, bersama sejumlah nama sohor lainnya, masuk dalam daftar Guinness World Records edisi 2012, yang diumumkan pada Selasa (13/9) kemarin. Di dalam daftar itu, juga terlihat nama aktris Sandra Bullock, penyanyi Rihanna, aktor Johnny Depp, sampai putra akor Will Smith, Willow Smith hingga nama Hugh Laurie.

Dalam ringkasan tahunan yang mencatat rekor dari berbagai aspek wajar hingga yang paling ganjil, alias tidak umum edisi 2012 itu, nama penyanyi eksentrik Lady Gaga menjadi salah satu perhatian. Sebab, dia dimasukkan sebagai peraih rekor sebagai pemilik akun di Twitter dengan pengikut atau follower terbanyak di dunia, atau Most Followers on Twitter dengan jumlah sebesar 11,259,372 orang hingga tanggal 29 Juni lalu.

Selain itu, bintang pop itu juga mendapatkan rekor lainnya sebagai Most Weeks on U.S. Digital Hot Songs, sejak supersingle-nya berjudul "Poker Face" ada di tangga lagu itu selama 83 Minggu! Sebuah catatan, yang dinilai sangat luar biasa. Karena jarang, sebuah single mampu bertahan di sebuah tangga lagu apapun, selama itu. Sehingga tidak berlebihan, jika ada yang menjulukinya sebagai Madonna anyar dalam sejarah musik pop atau A New Madonna Making Pop History.

Lantas apa yang membuat nama J.K. Rowling mendapatkan rekor? Mudah jawabnya. Novel larisnya berjudul "Harry Potter" membuat kreator itu menempatkan namanya sebagai pengarang atau penulis terkaya, atau First Billionaire Author. Mengingat ketujuh seri buku "Harry Potter" terjual lebih dari 400 juta kopi di seluruh dunia. Sedangkan nama Willow Smith dimasukkan dalam rekor sebagai artis muda berbakat terbaik atau Youngest Transatlantic Top 20 Artist. Yang diraihnya ketika dia baru berusia 10 tahun, lewat single-nya berjudul "Whip My Hair" .

Bagaimana dengan nama rapper Lil Wayne? Karena prestasinya yang sangat signifikan, membuatnya mendapatkan rekor Most US Hot 100 Hits by a Rap Artist: 64 antara tahun 1999 dan 2010. Berikutnya sejumlah nama penting seperti Johnny Depp, Laurie, Bullock, Miranda Cosgrove dan Angus T. Nelson yang pernah mendapatkan rekor karena terlalu banyaknya uang yang mereka terima, sudah runtuh disalip sejumlah nama anyar.

Meski demikian, Depp tetap menempatkan namanya sebagai aktor berbayaran tertinggi atau Highest Paid Actor karena berhasil mengumpulkan pundi-pundi dolarnya hingga 75 juta dolar AS, selama kurun waktu Juni 2009 dan Juni 2010. Sedangkan Sandra Bullock menempatkan dirinya sebagai aktris berpenghasilan terbesar, dengan pendapatan sebesar 56 juta dolar AS. The Duke dan Duchess of Cambridge sendiri masuk rekor dunia karena pesta pernikahan mereka yang dinilai "memenjarakan" kebebasan mereka sebagai manusia, dicatat karena kemegahannya.

Bintang 'Harry Potter' Beralih ke Fesyen

Berakhirnya kisah epik remaja penyihir “Harry Potter”, membuat para bintangnya harus “beralih” profesi. Tampaknya, Rupert Grint dan Tom Felton atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Ron Weasley dan Draco Malfoy, memilih untuk mengikuti jejak Emma “Hermione” Watson, terjun ke dunia mode.

Namun, bila Watson memilih jalur desain, Grint dan Felton lebih memilih berpose di hadapan kamera dengan menjadi model bagi label fashion asal Amerika, Band of Outsiders. Grint dan Felton akan tampil sebagai model utama bagi kampanye iklan Band of Outsiders untuk musim gugur dan musim dingin 2011 mendatang.

Adapun kampanye iklan tersebut dikerjakan oleh sang desainer brand sendiri, Scott Sternberg, dan mengambil lokasi di sebuah restoran bergaya vintage di Los Angeles, The Magic Castle. Yang menarik, tampilan keduanya pun terlihat berbeda.

Tidak lagi tampil imut dengan jubah Hogwarts dan memegang tongkat sihir, Grint dan Felton justru terlihat bergaya khas kaum muda masa kini dalam balutan jaket bergaya preppy dan celana khaki ataupun tracksuit, cardigan, dan mantel. Ketika diminta berkomentar mengenai profesi baru mereka sebagai model, Grint dan Felton menjawab antusias, “Sangat menyenangkan!”.

Malah, Felton dengan segera menulis di akun Twitter-nya, “Terima kasih kepada @bandofoutsiders untuk kolaborasi ini. Hari ini sangat luar biasa. Tidak sabar menunggu pemotretan berikutnya."
