[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Alan Rickman/GoF Interview

[Kelly Crawford]

Here's a better translation of what he said when asked if he wasn't allowed
to talk about it:

"No, it's just because I don't want to speculate with something in which
children's innocence is at stake."

I think that explains it a bit better.  He's not being rude, just doesn't
want to give anything away.

>> There was a debate over at Leaky on what Alan meant by 
his "children's innocence" comment.  Personally I think he just 
doesn't want to give out spoilers that might end up being cut from 
the movie and dissappoint kids.  But then he also hates giving 
interviews so...<<

Now, he doesn't have much of a role in GOF, does he? It's been a 
while since I've read that one... Maybe that's what he meant 
by "eventually" he will be going on set to film?< 

There's a lot more to that interview, which may be why the HP-related 
portion seems to come off in a sort of abrupt manner.

I'm surprised that TLC didn't provide some sort of link to a complete 
translation - or at least *mention* that the HP-portion was taken out 
of the context of a larger interview.  

I've seen one fan translation in an AR forum, and the whole of the 
interview is very good-natured (with Alan commenting on his love of 
watching movies (he was in Argentina for a film festival, and he gave 
an acting master class, etc)and his love of visiting different 
cultures...and humorously affirming he lives in London ["...that's 
where I keep my underwear, anyway").

All I can say is, for someone who is reputed to dislike giving 
interviews, he certainly has willingly given many...and he's very 
generous with his time with fans.
