How does the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 feel in comparison to the rest of the series? In what ways have the dangers and darkness perhaps increased?
Alan Rickman: It’s a very gradual thing with the books and the stories. There’s no other way of putting it. If you go to the center of the story with those three kids, you’re watching them become young adults, and so everything changes. They’re three little innocent faces, only three-foot off the ground at the beginning, and then by the end they’re meeting the adults more or less at eye level. Romance has entered their lives and, as I said, choosing big choices in life. They’re becoming adults, so it’s incremental. It’s not as if you can jump from the film at the beginning to the one at the end and say, “Well this is different from that in these ways.” It’s very much an incremental piece of masterful storytelling.
