In a new interview, Devon Murray, who plays Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter films, revealed that film chiefs have moved the Deathly Hallows script to a safe house after "several break-in attempts from thieves hoping to steal the storylines from his family home in Kildare." Murray also discusses his fame, admits he "hasn't read a single one" of the books and reveals that Daniel Radcliffe is not as innocent as he seems:
He's totally wired. He's a great man to go for a night out with as he loves partying and is up for anything. He's great craic.

OMG What an ABOMINATION! HE didnt even read the 1st ONE?!? How did he MANAGE to stay true to his character? Or is it just because he got lucky cuz Seamus doesnt have that much of a personality in the books? Anyway, thats cool about Daniel, I ALWAYS knew he was a party animal, lol. He and I would rock the house in any nightclub ;)

How can you not read any of the Harry Potter books!?!?!??!!?!?!?!!?!? Its a good thing the theives didnt get anything. Could you imagine what would happen if they got the script?!?!?!?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 07:52:50
shouldnt it be compulsory for everyone who plays an HP character at least read the books? why is he revealing this just now? anyway, doesnt matter really. i overlook seamus 87.63% of the time so whatever..

dumbnuts.. .

People are so stupid sometimes....Why would you try to steal a script that is based off a BOOK?? Just read the book morons.

I dont know. I can see why a person would want the script. Finding out what changes from the book they made ahead of time might be interesting. And when you see it you know what the director cut. I dont care if any of the actors have read the books. It may help but all you really need is an excellent director.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 13:41:49
i have to say im surprised and a little upset that he hasnt read a single harry potter book. even from an actors standpoint, wouldnt you want to know as much about the character as possible? and considering how little treatment the character gets in the movies, he doesnt have much material to work off of. sure, the director can tell you what they want, but it seems ignorant and arrogant to not read them. i feel like the actors have a huge responsibility to the massive fan base, not to mention the characters themselves, so to not find out where they originate is just silly. and anyway, how is it even possible to be immersed in for so many years and never pick up a book????
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 13:56:23
Hmm so Harry and Seamus are clubbing into the wee hours of morning, all Miami Viced up... probably a bit of nose candy involved... not surprised, kinda B.A.
As for why would thieves want to steal the script... uhh money of course, think about what some less scrupulous magazines or websites would pay for the entire breakdown of the 2 movies about 2 years before they are out... it would compromise the profit of the films as well..

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 14:01:46
Hate to break it to ya bhart but I bet a majority of the actors, especially the adult actors in the films, havent haventread the books. I personally dont dontthink its their responsibility in the least. All theyre theyrerequired to read is the script and merely act how theyre theyredirected to. In interviews even Ralph Fiennes shows little to no interest in the actual Harry Potter phenomenon. As long as he puts his acting abilities and good effort into the role, thats thatsall I care about.

I read ruperts,dan and emma interviews somewhere and they all read the books, emma loved the books and her favorite character was her lol, but i dont like people who get famous and lose themselfs, kinda like dan. But bullcrap how are you supposed to play someone in a movie that is based on a book and you never read them??? WTF!!

I agree with aavelar 21. Its not part of an actors job to read the book. Sometimes they are better off only reading the script and basing their character on that. So its writers job to make sure you can understand a character from the script. For example, Matthew MacFadyen, who played Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, had not read the book when he got the role, and only read it after he finished filming. He based it all on the script, and yet he was fantastic and very much like Darcy.

not trying to be rude to devon cause hes a great actor but ive seen him in interviews and he doesnt seem like the most literate person but thats just my opinion
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 14:41:52
I would totally have fun w/ Daniel!! Who doesnt love a good party to go to on Friday and Saturday nights? Man, we would rock out any night club!! Just because Daniels a big party animal doesnt mean hes not innocent!! I mean, Ive done tons of stuff at parties I shouldnt be doing, but Im still inncoent!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 14:50:30
Six months for the battle scenes at Hogwarts, Im guessing. All the actors have to be on-call at the studio. Battle scenes, especially ones as large as Deathly Hallows describes, takes a considerable amount of time and preparation.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 14:52:18
Lmao. I love how all the male actors always talk about shopping with Emma Watson. I wonder if shes trying to make them over one-by-one or something. And Daniel said in an interview that he doesnt like the party scene...he said that he likes hanging out at Indie clubs that not too many people know about, so I guess thats what Devon is referring to. Thats really scary about his house though. If people want to know what happens in the last movie, all they need to do is read the freakin book. lol.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 14:57:31
Hahaha iwantorlando. She totally is making them over one by one.
I wonder if Dans mad at him for saying hes a partier. Probably not...he is trying to change his image!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 15:04:50
I just dont see what the big deal is about him not having read the books. I highly doubt that when an actor gets a part for a movie based on a book that they go out and read it. The character of Seamus has so little in the books that anyone could play it. I could probably direct that character "Hey, youre Irish and your friends with Harry. You like Harry until the 5th movie in which youll think hes crazy and get into some argument about your mom. So just act like a kid whos friends with the other kids in your class and then when we get to movie 5 you act like you hate him."
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 15:31:22
Haha, jee I wasnt too surprised to hear this. No offense to him, but he had like the worst acting in OotP. I mean, when he was having that little arguement with Harry it was like agony for me to watch it. It was SOO BAD! But besides that...Devin seems like a nice kid. Oh and I wasnt surprised to hear that Dan is a party monster.

Up for anything? Hmm, maybe Ill offer him a threesome with a goat the next time I see him.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 16:51:20
Haha Baphomet, that made me laugh so hard (: But im really not supprised that Devin hasnt read the books...
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 16:54:04
i feel like maybe he shouldnt have divulged so much information like that. DR is of course almost 20 years old, but i think his partying lifestyle is more for him to tell. As for not reading the books, he doesnt have all that many lines, so it doesnt shock me, but it is strange. Michael Gambon hasnt read them either and hes Dumbledore. Not that Im too happy about that though haha.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 17:35:21
One thing I dont understand - How did they KNOW that the attempted break-in at his house was to steal the storylines? That makes no sense.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 18:11:05
I think its really important that the actors read the books, because thats the only way to really study the character. Just think about Heath Ledger, I mean he played the Joker geniously, just because he was like a month (or so I heard) preparing to fit into the role. But Devon has such a little part as Seamus that it doesnt bother me that much, he barely speaks at all. What REALLY bothers me is Michael Gambon. He hasnt read a single book and we all saw how horrible he portrayed Dumbledore. Quite the opposite of the always calm and intelligent person that appears in the books. So the main characters really should read the books, if they want to act well.

i agree with y0u, Buttons, it d0esnt make sense! how did they kn0w the thieves were after the script?!
and is it true that michael gambon hasnt read a single book!?! n0w thats s0mething! that explains why he isnt as calm as dumbledore.. but i always saw him as a go0d dumbledore, though..
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 18:57:11
wouldnt you think that, logically speaking, if you cast as a part in the movie, no matter how small that part is, you would immediately go read the books to find out what that role might include?? and besides, you are going to be surrounded by people who will often be discussing the books, wouldnt it also make sense to just read the books so you dont have to keep asking questions. woudnt you also feel left out of the loop not reading the books?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 19:08:43
In regards to fredfanatic, I dont think so. When it comes to films, its not about the book that the film is based on to the actors. Thats the job of the screenwriters, director and producers. All the actors and actresses should care about is the actual script and the direction set forth by the director. Its up to the writers and director to help interpret what is needed from the books their films are based on. Off topic, in regards to Gambons Dumbledore, I see him fitting the Dumbledore from Books 6 and 7 a lot better than I would Richard Harris were he alive. But I know Im in the minority on that one.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 19:27:46
He hasnt read a single book and hes in the movies? I dont like him much anymore because if someone doesnt like HP they shouldnt be in the movies, at least for the younger actors.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 19:30:56
Jeez....he hasnt been able to read the books? He must be as dense as the character he plays! Ive lost respect for the guy! What a dud.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 19:58:58
Some of these comments are completely unfair. I think its more than easy to imagine that most, if not all, of the adult actors in the films have not read any of the books. Im sure plenty of the younger actors havent, either. When are fans going to understand that they care more than the actual actors, actresses, athletes, etc. do? Though Im sure they love what they do, its still a job to them. But what do you expect? Fan is short for fanatic, after all.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 19:59:40
but i still think gambon has done his part well.. is it just me? because i compared him with harris and i think hes better.. but its a bit disappointing that he hasnt read the bo0ks.. but hes still ok for me.. isnt he for y0u?

I think he must OPEN the book but only past through and search for Seamus part.And because Seamus doesnt have much part in the books,Devon didnt say it as READING

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 21:01:40
jojoinpink54- its an irish word and the closest translation you can get is "fun"
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 21:01:44
Well its no wonder he is nothing like the Seamus in the books if hes never even read them - explains quite a bit. But as someone else has said - hes only doing what hes being told to do. Seamus part in the book is very very very small, and theyve made quite a big part for him in the movie actually considering how much he isnt mentioned in the books.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-19 22:57:00
He hasnt read the books? Did it say that the interview? Wow...I mean hes been doing this for almost 10 years. You would think he would read one of the books. But then again he is Irish...maybe hes too busy partying to read. But I couldve sworn I read an interview with him once where he said he Loved the books. Hmmm....
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-20 01:42:36
This interview does not seem very legit to me...its like someone took a bunch of facts about him and looped them together to make a story. I also read an interview with him saying he loved the books.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-20 02:27:09
Stealing the script of a movie that follows a book pretty closely to "steal the storylines" has got to be one of the stupidest things I have heard of. I know this is breaking news, but the storylines arent really a mystery. Weve kind of known about them for close to two years. Shocking, I know.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-05-20 06:12:24
if its true and he hasnt read the books... :(
