Ciaran Hinds talks about his time on Hallows Part 2
Actor Ciaran Hinds, who will be playing Aberforth Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, recently did an interview with the Daily Record in which he first spoke about working with Dan, Rupert and Emma:
"It was surreal to be in a room with those three kids, all of whom know exactly what they're doing. And then there's you, who has been around for a long time, and they're the ones putting you at ease and making sure you know what you're doing on set.
"It was bizarre. But it was also really interesting to see things from that perspective. With every job, you're typically looking for the director to make sure you're doing the right thing but with Emma, Rupert and Daniel, that has become part of their psyche.
"They've been doing that job so long, they have such ease and an instant connection with it, and a real truthfulness."
And he then spoke briefly about his part in the film:
"My scene was a four-page exposition scene about Albus Dumbledore's childhood and how he's not all he said he was. It's that hole in the film that needs to be filled."
