Look for moreHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsinterviews everyday this week.
Heyman: In a word, no.
(laughs) Not a clue.
I mean I knew Jo (Rowling) was gonna write seven books.
I read the first book, loved it, and found out she was writing seven books.
Had no idea that it would become what its become.
But thereve been plenty of bestseller books that have not become bestseller films, or big films.
What could you have done?
We had an underlying confidence that eventually she would say yes.
Heyman: I think if you look at her today, Ive never seen Emma happier.
Barron: But it was primarily, it was a question of the film not stopping her education.
Heyman: But on a 263 day schedule theres always stuff you might fill in (laughs).
Barron: Yeah we had some room for maneuver (laughs).
It was complicated actually.
Heyman: David (Yates, director) did a brilliant job with that.
So, I think that what you have is a young lady with so many possibilities.
The world is at her feet, you know, shes a formidable young lady.
Im really excited to see what she does.
I have no idea, if she does write Harry Potter books, what they will be.
Theres so much more.
Whether we actually see Harry and the bureaucrats, I dont know.
Heyman: No
Barron: No
Have you talked to her about spin-offs?
Heyman: I would not be so presumptuous.
Jo is an author, shes not a screenwriter.
Shes not writing things for films, shes writing things for books.
I would not try and say yo will you do this, or yo will you do that?
I meant more the idea of, would you guys want to take something and make your own movie?
Heyman: Absolutely not.
The films are born out of Jos fiction.
Hes incredible, Steve.
And its hard to imagine how she would re-enter that story.
I mean the essentialthis sort of emotional and physical jaunt to the death between Harry and Voldemort.
How close were you on the 3D process when you guys decided to pull it?
Barron: Not close enough (laughs).
Otherwise we wouldnt have pulled it.
And we had done probably around 250 out of 1800 shots.
Heyman: So Part 2, weve begun working on already.
Barron: Earlier and in a slightly different way, so were confident we can achieve it this time.
July 15this frozen in stone?
That is the date its going to open?
Heyman: Unless you know something I dont (laughs).
Heyman: I havent thought of it as such, so I hope not.
Were endeavoring to do so.
We have the time, we have more knowledge, and we will do it right.
So I dont know.
So its very hard to imagine how they would go back.
Heyman: But you could integrate the backgrounds maybe a little better.
Can you talk about that from your point of view?
Barron: Yeah they have been mentored by some of the best actors on the planet.
Barron: And actually ones always been able to see the difference.
Heyman: It was kind of amazing actually, you know there was no ego.
Heyman: So you know, its like come on, come to set!
So we shot that, and then we all blubbered.
Heyman: It was a countdown.
At the end of that we were all a mess.
I wanted to ask you about the music.
I know Alexandres (Desplat) is confirmed to score the music for Part 2.
Was John Williams ever asked, did he decline?
Heyman: Yes, he was.
We wanted to work with John but his schedule didnt permit it.
Barron: He was just unavailable unfortunately.
He wanted to do it?
Barron: He did, very much so.
Heyman: Yeah very much so.
But his schedule didnt permit.
I think it was for the best (everyone laughs).
How do you feel about that?
Did that become a goal?
The only thing that we have any control over is making the best films that we can.
Were a family and what were trying to do is make the best films that we can.
And I think that the environment at Leavesden [Studios] is all about the work.
Barron: Yes, its like anything.
Its a journey, its a technological journey.
So yeah, it will continue to advance in the way that visual effects have advanced.
Do you have a favorite among the films?
Heyman: Theyre all babies.
You know its hard to say I love this child more than the other.
Barron: And theyre so different.
Im very proud of all of them actually.
