Then I had to shoot for two more days, where they had me running around this huge set. It was very much contained, the scene that I had to do. My major scene took place in a small room.

What was it like to step onto that set for the first time?Ĭiarán Hinds: It all looked pretty crazy. Hopefully I will look like Michael Gambon's younger brother. I don't even know if you'll be able to recognize me in this. When I took a look at all of the other actors there, I have to say.I was very thrilled to be a part of it. It was a mystery to me why I was thrown into the pot.

But I'm not sure where that is going to be added to the story. Even though he's gotten a few black marks for his behavior. He actually explains to Harry and Hermione, and Ron, the history of his brother when they were young. I think he comes in near the very end, where he comes in and saves the gang from being torn apart by Dementors. Again, it was a great thrill just to be in it. What has it been like to play Aberforth in the Harry Potter films?Ĭiarán Hinds: He is not in it for very long. They have me off on another adventure in the film that I don't quite understand. Is it an all-green screen set? With everything being added in later?Ĭiarán Hinds: Apparently so. Goodness knows, the conundrums of actually making the film? I don't know about that stuff. He knows all about animation and computer generated effects. It was a thrill to meet him knowing he'd made these classic films. He had thought of me to play one kind of leader on Mars. He came to see a play that I was in at the National Theater in London. I am the father of the female protagonist. I'm playing Tardes Mors, one of the leaders of Mars. Then I go back to the set in March to shot for another six or eight days. I have already shot on it for a couple of days. Here's what he had to say about both films:Ĭiarán Hinds: They are shooting it at the moment. Ciarán is set to appear in Walt Disney/Pixar's John Carter of Mars and as Albus Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.
