The Scotsman has a new interview with actress Katie Leung. In the interview, she talks about how she got the part to play Cho Chang, how she felt when acting with Imelda Staunton, and how she feels about the infamous kiss with Dan. "It is supposed to be an awkward moment because it's Harry's first kiss," she says. "So it's very endearing and sweet. I think the director, David Yates, wants the audience to be taken back to the memories of their first kiss." She also discusses what she plans on doing once the Harry Potter phenomenon has toned down.

Both the Telegraph and the Gazette have posted new interviews with some of the Order of the Phoenix cast. The Telegraph interview features Katie Leung, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, and Evanna Lynch. They each talk about their characters in the Order of the Phoenix movie and how their roles in the movies have affected their lives. Bonnie Wright explains why she decided to go for the role of Ginny Weasley:
Why did you first go for the role? My brother had read the books and told me that I reminded him of the character Ginny Weasley but I didn’t really know anything about it at that point. Then I heard that they were doing auditions and he told me I should go along. I never really realised at that point how big the films would become. I don’t think any of us did.
The second interview, conducted by the Gazette, also contains a question-and-answer session with Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, and Matthew Lewis. When asked about Neville's fate, Lewis answered: "A lot of people have come up to me and said, 'You're going to die, mate.' Cheers! But I like to think he'll be there fighting to the end. If he does die, I'd like it to be really heroic, saving someone else's life."

The BBC has a new interview with Bonnie Wright, Matt Lewis, Katie Leung, and Evanna Lynch online now. When asked what his highlight of filming the fifth movie was, Matthew replied: "I love comedy, I love making people laugh - but what I really loved this year was tackling the emotional side of Neville. That was a big challenge for me because Neville has always been a light-hearted, humorous character and I have never had to do anything as deep and emotional as that before."

Scotland on Sunday has posted a new interview with Cho Chang actress Katie Leung where she discusses how playing the role has changed her, what she'd like to do post-Harry Potter, and the infamous kiss with Daniel: "[It was] not a particularly sexy or exciting kiss - it's very sweet and very clumsy, like all first kisses are. Especially since in reality, Daniel and I were a bit nervous and got a little giggly having to do it again and again." The paper also has a report from the film's set, featuring interviews with some of the stars.

An article from the Scotsman reports that the actress who plays Cho Chang in the Potter films has been nominated for the 2007 Most Stylish Scotswoman award: But if she wants to follow in the footsteps of model Lauren Tempany and jazz singer Nikki King (the 2005 and 2006 winners), Leung will have to outshine a list of formidable competitors. They include Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen and actress Laura Fraser as well as Hannah McGill, director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and artist Gay Grossart. The awards ceremony, taking place on October 26th, will be held in Glasgow. We'll be sure to let you know how Katie did. For the full article, click here. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed!
