Frances de la Tour Speaks of Madame Maxime Role

When asked about the Madame Maxime romance with Hagrid, she states, "There's a lot of romance (in the film). They fall in love, and then, it's really lovely. Hagrid is… again you see a tenderness in him… it's lovely, really lovely to do."

She also let slip when she'll first appear in the film, which correspond with the book. "In the book, and I think they've got it in the film - although it's nothing to do with me really, but what an entrance! They all look up to the sky, and a powder blue carriage is flying, being driven by four white stallions – that is an entrance into a film! And then she steps out."

She also stated that Director Mike Newell is very pleased with the film. I saw Mike (Newell) the other day, we did some ADR, and he said he was really pleased. I said "Well obviously you'd say that", because he directed it, and he said "but I am… I am pleased!", and that the preview was well received in Chicago."

Will she return for future films? "Is she coming back? Well in the books she does, and they can't cut me out – I've got to come back! That would be lovely."
