Last week Omelete (our partners in Brazil) were in London attending the international junket for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. Thanks to our partnership, I’m excited to be able to share the video interviews that Omelete did with the “Harry Potter” cast on Collider. We’ve already posted the interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, now it’s time for the interview with Emma Watson. Take a look after the jump.

Exclusive: Producer David Heyman talks HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE and HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

As one of the producers of the “Harry Potter” films, David Heyman has done the impossible - he made the beloved books work brilliantly as standalone movies. And the most recent - “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” - is getting some of the best reviews yet. In fact, many have called it the best of the series.

Anyway, while “Half-Blood Prince” has just been released, David and the “Potter” team have been hard at work for the past three months on the final film, which is being released as a two-parter in November 2010 and July 2011. Since he was cool to talk about everything, we spent almost thirty minutes discussing all three films.

After the jump you can read about changes from the book to the screen, deleted scenes, the running time for “Deathly Hallows”, will there be a trailer for part two on part one, how long will the final battle be in part two, what else he’s producing, and a lot more! It’s a great interview and a must-read if you’re a “Harry Potter” fan.

Bill Nighy Confirmed as Rufus Scrimgeour in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

Our partners at Omelete were at the international press day for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” (a film that has received intense love from trusted critics which makes me wish that I could see it right now), and they received confirmation speculation that Bill Nighy, who had already noted that he would be in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, would play Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour.

I held off on reporting that rumor not because I doubted its veracity as much as I wanted to leave the door open for Nighy playing Xenophilius Lovegood, Luna Lovegood’s father and a small but pivotal role in the final “Harry Potter” book.  Nevertheless, I think Nighy will be fantastic as Scrimgeour and I look forward to his performance (although, if in a radical plot change, he’s bitten by a werewolf, he must say “I’ll be fine.  I ran it under a cold tap.”).

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” opens July 15th.  Parts 1 and 2 of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” are set to open on November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011, respectively.
