The launch of the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD is coming soon and I cant wait.

Even though I have seen the film a dozen times at the movies, there is so much going on, you miss lots of things.

I really like seeing the interviews, the "extras" and the "deleted" scenes that are included. With a DVD, you can stop, rewind, pause etc. and really see the detail (and the mistakes) that make the films so special. So much of the Polyjuice scene with Josh and myself was cut out of the film, it was great to see again on the DVD.

I must say at this point, I honestly don't know what deleted scenes will be in the DVD, so much of the filming that we do is cut, but if every scene that was filmed was put in, the DVD would be about 8 hours long!

One of the scenes that was not in the film that I really enjoyed and hope is included, was Devon Murray; (Seamus Finnigan) in Professor Lupin's class where he changed a vampire (Devon's boggart) into a woman in a bikini,
(my mum said she was like Carmen Miranda)

Professor Lupin starts playing music and she starts dancing, then everybody starts dancing in a conga line.

I joined in the conga line, but Malfoy gets angry with me and he hits me, it was a very funny scene!

There are two questions that I get asked most.....Was it my voice or Ron's in the polyjuice scene and were there any funny moments on the set.

When we filmed the polyjuice scene, it was filmed with my own voice, Josh and I had a Drama coach for weeks before the filming started and everyone said we were really very good.

We also practiced Harry and Ron's movement and facial expressions.

After working so hard to imitate Ron's voice, I was a little disappointed when I discovered that our voices were replaced with Harry's and Ron's.

One of the funniest moments for me was the "floating cake scene".

Just before we changed into Harry and Ron, Josh and me had to eat the cakes, hanging in mid air, They were suspended on fishing wire, with a small hook in the cake, after five or six takes, Josh bit the cake a little too deep and had a small cut on his lip caused by the hook.

I was trying to whisper to Josh that his lip was bleeding, but Chris Columbus kept shouting "ACTION", Josh looked puzzled, so I pointed to his face and tried to tell him again, Chris shouted "ACTION" again, this went on two or three times more before Chris shouted "CUT" "Jamie what's wrong", Josh still looking puzzled looked at Chris and shrugged his shoulders.

The whole set started laughing as I tried to explain Josh had blood his lip.

Another funny moment was when Josh and me were "drugged" in the broom cupboard, we had to come out and act unsteady on our feet.

Chris Columbus shouted "ACTION" (no response)........"ACTION" (no response)........""ACTION" (no response)........"ACTION" (no response)........finally he said to his assistant "GO AND SEE WHAT'S WRONG".

Somebody opened the door to find me and Josh laughing, I said "the door was stuck", but they had all realized, I had been pulling the door instead of pushing it!.....Again the crew fell about laughing!

Chris Columbus said "It (the film) was turning into the CRABBE and GOYLE SHOW"

I have just returned from New York, the best holiday I have had in a long time!

I always thought New York was just Manhattan, but its not!

Melissa (from the Leaky Cauldron) took us to Staten Island and Toms River to meet her family, who are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

They really spoilt us while we were there!

Sal, Melissa's Dad, (who looks like Burt Reynolds) showed me how to catch, prepare and cook crabs (the lobster kind).

Carol, Melissa's mum, is the kindest, friendliest person in the world!

We also met Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, their kids and their friends, every single one of them helped to make our break so special!

I will post pictures as soon as I can!

Hello from New York
Hello everyone!

I'm having a great time. I bought a pair of shoes - two, actually. New Balance and Nike. (US size 14!)

I had an interview with Geri from HPANA yesterday (she was very nice) and I think The Leaky Cauldron is going to put something up (though Melissa says she's not sure what) and I'm going to go into the Staten Island Advance (because I'm in Staten Island now) but that's all! That's enough interviews for this trip!

We ate at fun restaurants (Serendipity3 - great ice cream - and Jekyll & Hyde - good entertainment but there was a bug in the drink! We got a free round though, so it doesn't matter), and tomorrow we're going to the shore (I'll be wearing lots of sunblock, Crabbe can't have a tan!) , where we might get to go down to the lake and go - crabbing. Ha ha!
