Bloody fools.What were you thinking coming here?
You're Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother.
Harry's had so many challenges in his journey
In his odyssey to kind of beat Voldemort and...
...the biggest is this moment with Aberforth.
Do yourself a favor,boy,go home.Live a little longer.
In a way,Aberforth...
...is the almost like the last test.
He's giving me another chance to turn back and to pack it all in, actually.
We're never gonna win this.
And it's the moment where Harry decides to go:
"If I fon't carry on with this,what am i gonna do?"
It was quite interesting because you're working on a blank canvas.
It's this kind of guy who lives underground.He's very basic.
He's of the earth.But once you're informed about the childhood memory...
...of what happened with his brother, you play it through a memory and an emotion...
...and you hope that all this will then present it visually.
The makeup,I think, on Ciaran...
...is the best makeup that's ever been done on any of the films.
It's astonishing how...
To make him look that much like Michael Gambon...
...while, still, there being just enough subtle differences...
...for it to be a brother rather than an identical twin.
It's very hard to find yourself in there...
...because it's a fairly heavy disguise.
Comes in three parts,really.
What they've done is, um, they've made me some little eye bag just in here...
...that they push into the skin.
Then they've given me, which you can see from the eyes...
...they gave me this big forehead that Michael has, uh, that I don't.
And the only other thing is this little nose, because mine's a bit crooked and thinner.
So, in fact, they've just added some features that then...
...in a way, transforms the whole face.
The eyes are what do it.Because Michael, you don't think about it...
...he has very distinctive... under his eyes
It's very, very specific to Michael. That was what really sold it to me.
Ciaran just wore it beatifully...
...and he didn't let it affect his speech, didn't affect his movement.
You just see somebody looking very natural.
The fineness of the work they did, it's really special.
Certainly, it was a great thrill to be asked to be in it.
