![]() Question from Jamison: As a 26-year-old American female who found the first book back in the 90's and is also sporting a golden snitch tattoo, I consider myself a huge fan. Actually, I haven't finished Book Four yet, I have to confess, because I've just been a bit busy, as you can imagine. Robbie Coltrane: I've read them all, yeah. MSNBC-Will Femia: So you've read all the books then? The big attraction about Harry Potter for us as parents is the Harry Potter books are something you can read to your children without dying of boredom because there is as much interesting stuff going on for adults as there is children, if you know what I mean. Robbie Coltrane: Before we started? I was a huge Harry Potter fan. What they do is take you into the air as if you're one of the players, so you yourself, the audience themselves, is flying around at 150 mph. I'd always imagined that your point of you would be from standing on the ground looking up, in other words. I'd always envisioned it from the ground when I read the books. But one of the guys who designed the program told me the scale speed, which is the speed at which it would be if it was actually happening, is 150 mph. It's all CGI obviously, because as we all know, people can't actually fly on broomsticks. No! I take that back, THE most exciting bit of CGI I've ever seen in my life.

One of the highlights of the film is the moment where Norbert the Dragon is born. Robbie Coltrane: Blaire! Good Scottish name! You shouldn't lower your expectation at all. Question from Blaire: I haven't seen the movie yet, but "your" creatures in the book were simply astounding - did you find them so, in the movie? - or should I lower my expectations? And it'll have to remain magic for the sake of the children I think. If you knew what I knew, you would immediately say, "Gee, I wish I didn't know that." It is magic, you know. It's one of those things where you just have to trust me. Y'know why? Because if I told you that, you would be looking out for something. Robbie Coltrane: Oh, I can't tell you that. And I asked Jo Rowling why not 9 feet and she said "Well, I think 8 foot 6 is a more interesting height." And I think she's right, in a funny way. Robbie Coltrane: In the movie, the official height is 8'6". Question from billm: How big are you in the movie? The book sounded like 9 or 10 feet tall.
