Fiona Shaw Interview



Article credit: BBC, March 20, 2001



From Medea to Muggle


Shaw, who plays a "Muggle" - Harry's nasty Aunt Petunia - said the young stars were coping very well, and that Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, was "wonderful".

"I had a ball doing Harry Potter," she said, heaping praise on director Christopher Columbus, whose "values seem to be bang on, with the attention to emotional detail very much in place".

"That is what will make the film, not the hype or the special effects," she added.

But although Shaw talked warmly of working in film, she said it is "easier" and less satisfying than the hard graft of theatre.
