During an interview to promote the upcoming film The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Jamie Campbell Bower commented on getting the roles of “Caius” in New Moon and “Grindewald” in Deathly Hallows. Without giving too much away, he also commented on his Harry Potter character’s friendship with Dumbledore. Warning: Mature Language, Content and Spoiler.
You’re appearing in quite a few upcoming genre projects: New Moon, which is a vampire story, AMC’s The Prisoner, which is sci-fi, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Was this all by coincidence?
Well, if all else fails, I can just become one of those guys who goes to Comic-Con every year to have my own booth and get paid to do autographs. [Laughs.] That’s what I’m investing in – I’m investing in the end of my career.
What’s the dirt on your Harry Potter character?
It’s a character called Grindelwald, he’s an old friend of Dumbledore’s – possibly, his lover – and they have this idea that they can create this perfect wizardry world. But it all goes to the pot and they have a big fight, and something awful happens and someone dies. It’s very sad.
You say Grindelwald and Dumbledore are “possibly” lovers…
Well obviously, because it’s a 12A film, there are going to be no hardcore love scenes. Put it that way.
But it’s something that you had in mind when you approached the character?
I think so. Yes. There’s obviously a very strong connection between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so it’s something that you have to bear in mind.
