Japanese Interview

The movie that our fans longed for - Harry Potter Goblet of Fire promotion had come, and we have a 2 actors here to answer our questions. Katie Leung, who played as Cho, Harry's first love. And Robert Pattinson , who played as a senior in Hogwarts - Cedric, which's an important character. In the Christmas dance scene, they grouped as a pair. In the meantime, many people talked about it.

Both of you didn't have much scene were acted together. Are you both good friends?
Katie: (looking at Robert's face) ehh...of course. We're good friends. He's the first person I saw and the first person I had to act with.

Robert: Although you just saw both of us acting in one scene. We actually acted together in many other scenes but they were cut.

This one seemed to be the most famous series in all Harry Potter movies which's released. What's your feeling about being part of it?
Robert: Panic. Although the content of this movie didn't change much from the original story, but it certainly will surprise the fans. I've checked some of the Harry Potter websites, there were comments about actors, how the movie altered from the original, and what's kept. When I saw how critical the fans were, I thought they were incomprehensible but at the same time amazing.

Katie: Oh yeah. It's been a year since we finished the movie. It's still unbelievable about the influence of it.

Acting in such a big project, would there be any pressure?
Robert: At first I felt a bit, but after a week, when all the cast were known, and they are all so nice, then the feeling gone. When shooting my first scene, the maze scene, there were a crew about 150 people, me, Dan and the producer. Later on, it became about 2000 people involved in shooting. I'm really glad I could started from a more relax environment and get used to it progressively.

Katie: For me, I felt extremely horrible at first. Since this movie had loads of fans, and people watched the characters grew up, and it seems I'm the only one who's not the part for it. In real life, everyone is really nice and since we're all about similar age, we had lots of fun. It certainly made me felt nervous while in the set. Everyone were great actors, and I felt impossible to act with people in such high level in acting. I'm happy to have a chance to deal with such a big challenge.

Mr. Robert, you acted as a Cedric, a friend of Harry out of Ron and Hermione. How do you feel about it?
Robert: Actually, I felt a little strange. Cedric is older then Harry, I think they were only simple friends rather then buddy friends. Although after some events, they finally turned out to be important partners, it's still a bit different. So I think that's quite difficult to get.

Miss Katie, you acted as Cho, whom admired by everyone, and first love of Harry. How was it?
Katie: I felt very very lucky to acted as Cho. Harry's so cool and got lots of fans. It's really an honour for me to act with him. Cho sure is an important character in the process of grow up for Harry. I felt really great to act as her.

What's the impression of Daniel Radcliffe for both of you?
Robert: He's really an incredible kid. So young, about 15 or 16, but already a pro. Everyday he needs to work about 5 to 6 hours and then go back to study again. It's like that for about 11 months. For the last 2 months, he even had a more serious schedule and he's good at that. Now you can see his excellent acting in the released movie, and he did a really great job.

Katie: He's really enthusiastic about his work. We acted in the same movie, but when I compare to him, I'm not half of him. Although he's already world-famous, but fame hasn't changed him a bit. I felt really relaxed when I'm with him. He's so friendly and easy to talk to.
