David Thewlis and Natalia Tena Talk 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' Parts 1 & 2

Bill and Fleur aren't the only newlyweds in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"  -- there's another happy couple in the Order of the Phoenix with some news of their own. Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, played by David Thewlis and Natalia Tena, have a baby on the way, something that's only hinted at in Part 1 (out on DVD April 15). Come Part 2 (out in theaters July 15), there's some hard decisions that the couple has to make, especially when it comes to the final battle. Thewlis and Tena reveal what was cut out of the first half, which they hope is developed in the second.

NT: [drinking water, choking] Don't worry, I'm not dying...

Q: Not yet. In Part 2...

DT: Nnnnn! What if some people haven't read the books? Some people can't read.

Q: OK, so maybe we don't spoil that, but the pregnancy is somewhat hinted at...

NT: We did a scene with Julie Walters [who plays Molly Weasley] that I thought was going to be in it, which is always a bit weird, because it's not really explained, so maybe in the next one it will be. I don't know. Like with the wedding, there's a whole bit that was cut in Part 1. She's about to say something, and Mad-Eye Moody's like, "Shh!" So she never actually says it.

Q: You'd think they'd want to set it up so when you have Teddy, it's not a total surprise...

DT: Yeah, but we haven't seen it yet...

NT: We don't know anything about it.

DT: It's not even finished yet. I'm still doing some dubbing on it. It's not mixed. It's not locked yet.

NT: We know nothing.

DT: A lot of stuff gets cut, you know?

Q: As far as what you've shot, though -- some of the things involving your characters are handled very briefly, and some are more developed...

DT: You want them to be developed, and to spend the time. It's an enjoyable time, when you're working on the film. But you are very pragmatic, and like the directors and producers, you understand that there's an awful lot of the story to get in, even though this book has been split into two films. In the other films, not everything is there and their relationships aren't as explored as Jo Rowling did. They don't have the room to explore it. But there's not much we can do about it.

Q: After this, you went and did HBO's "Game of Thrones," where you're playing the wildling woman Osha. Are you a big fantasy fan?

NT: With both of these, I'd never read the books. I've done other stuff, in between, like "You Instead," which was at a festival in Scotland, and was the complete opposite of these. I always think I'm really lucky getting these jobs because I don't know anything about them, but maybe it's because I'm not scared? I always find that the parts I really study for and really want, I never get. If I just go, "Oh, that sounds good," I get it. And only in doing it do I fall in love with it. I've read them all now. They're so thick! I'm on the last one of the series that's out. 

DT: There's always things you want to do that you don't get. Life changes in a phone call. You never know what you're going to do or where you're going to be next month. That just happened to me recently. Luc Besson just called me at 10 in the evening and offered me a part on the phone, and a few weeks later I was in Bangkok, making a wonderful film ["The Lady"]. So that's the thing about this profession, so it's totally unpredictable.
