In an interview with US Potter book publisher Scholastic, both Tom and Bonnie discuss the books/films in general:
Q: How would you describe J.K. Rowling?
Bonnie: I always find it so surreal meeting her. This whole world literally is because of one person.
Tom: She's a very unassuming down-to-earth lady, the most lovely lady. I was always taken away by how genuine she seemed, and how unaffected by the fact that she's probably the world's biggest author.

The LA Times talks to Bonnie Wright
There's a new interview online this evening with the actress who plays Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In this one particularly interesting quote, she discusses her first time reading the book:DM: Do you remember how you felt when you read “The Half-Blood Prince”?
BW: I wasn’t fully expecting what happened. Ginny had grown up so much in the sixth book, and what happens between her and Harry? I just couldn’t have imagined that would happen. She started out so shy and young, and in this book she’s gotten so much more confident and noticed. She finds herself and it’s the first time you realize why she becomes the person who ends up with Harry.

Bonnie Wright and Rupert Grint on Half-Blood Prince
There are two new interviews online this morning that each interview a Weasley sibling.The first one is from The London Evening Standard with Bonnie Wright. Among other things, she talks about how to survive the Potter set after all these years:
'In a banqueting scene, you must never be filmed actually eating,' she says very seriously.
Otherwise you'll have to keep on for the sake of continuity. The food gets cold and stale, and you start to feel really sick.' (Especially if the director is David Yates, notorious for his numerous retakes.) You have to make sure the spoon only goes as far as your lips.'
Meanwhile, The Telegraph spoke to Rupert Grint. He dished on the big kiss with Emma and his dating life:
"I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual," he said.
"It's not that I find it hard to meet girls – they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I'm interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types."

Bonnie and Katie attend premiere

New interview with OOTP cast
"I love comedy, I love making people laugh - but what I really loved this year was tackling the emotional side of Neville. That was a big challenge for me because Neville has always been a light-hearted, humorous character and I have never had to do anything as deep and emotional as that before."

Two new interviews with some of the OOTP cast
The Telegraph interview features Katie Leung, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, and Evanna Lynch. They each talk about their characters in the Order of the Phoenix movie and how their roles in the movies have affected their lives. Bonnie Wright explains why she decided to go for the role of Ginny Weasley:
Why did you first go for the role?The second interview, conducted by the Gazette, also contains a question-and-answer session with Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, and Matthew Lewis. When asked about Neville's fate, Lewis answered:
My brother had read the books and told me that I reminded him of the character Ginny Weasley but I didn’t really know anything about it at that point. Then I heard that they were doing auditions and he told me I should go along. I never really realised at that point how big the films would become. I don’t think any of us did.
"A lot of people have come up to me and said, 'You're going to die, mate.' Cheers! But I like to think he'll be there fighting to the end. If he does die, I'd like it to be really heroic, saving someone else's life."
