"…wise and prescient as dumbledore is, he is not a seer. At the moment when he answers snape’s call, he cannot know that snape isn’t going to try and kill him. He can’t know that snape will have the moral or physical courage to change course, let alone help defeat voldemort. Yet still, dumbledore goes to the hilltop."

It speaks highly of the kind of relationship Dumbledore and Snape had. :nod:

J.K. Rowling on Jamie Parker as Harry Potter: ‘He simply is Harry now. There's a kind of relief in watching him, he gets it so right.’

J.K. Rowling on Poppy Miller as Ginny Potter: I think a lot of people would like to have Poppy's Ginny for a mother. Kind and cool, exactly as I imagined her.’

J.K. Rowling on Sam Clemmett as Albus Potter: ’There's much I could say about Sam-as-Albus, but we'd be into spoiler territory so quickly I'll just say we couldn't have cast better.’

J.K. Rowling on Paul Thornley playing Ron Weasley: ‘Ron in his forties isn't very different from Ron in his teens, except that his feet hurt a bit more. Paul's so funny and brilliant in the role.’

J.K. Rowling on Noma Dumezweni portraying Hermione Granger: 'I saw Noma workshop the part and when John Tiffany told me he'd cast her, I was overjoyed. She gets Hermione inside out.’

J.K. Rowling on Cherrelle Skeete bringing Rose Granger-Weasley to life: ‘Rose is like her mother, but more secure, more grounded. She was born to wizards and knows her place in the world. Cherrelle plays her perfectly: bossy but deeply loveable.’
