It’s the final countdown people. Our review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 went up on Monday and that can mean only one thing, it’s the last few days before one of the biggest movies of the year is released!

Every day this week, we’ll bring you at least one interview from the movie. So far this week, we’ve  had Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), the twins, Oliver (George Weasley) and James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Helena Bonham Carter and Draco Malfoy aka Tom Felton! Today, we get to speak to the man at the helm, director David Yates.

In the interview, (conducted by our friend, Simon Thompson from Upbeat), Yates talks about shooting on location, and how losing the school in the movie makes the characters feel more vulnerable, the emotions that they go through in the movie and likens them to his own children and how working on the movies has been such a privilege.
