[English]

♪ (EPIC MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

HARRY POTTER: Think of a powerful memory.

(TRAIN HORN BLARES)

HARRY: Make it the happiest you can remember.

EMMA WATSON: It feels like no time has passed,

and loads of time has passed.

RUPERT GRINT: I think this is the perfect time

to sit down with everyone and reminisce.

DANIEL RADCLIFFE: The thing that scared me the most

was the implication that the most meaningful thing

in our life was done,

and there's something so joyous about seeing everyone,

and be like, "It wasn't though."

HELENA BONHAM CARTER One of the highlights of my part

was when I had to pretend to be Hermione

pretending to be Bellatrix.

(IN HERMIONE'S VOICE) I don't like to be kept waiting.

I've still got the teeth, actually,

-I'll put them in if you want. -(LAUGHS)

RALPH FIENNES: My sister has children

who were then around ten, 11, 12,

and I said, "Martha, I don't know about this Voldemort."

"What? You're being asked to play Voldemort?!"

(YELLS)

"You've got to do it!"

DANIEL: I wouldn't be the person I am without so many people here.

It's a very heartwarming thing 'cause I've watched you grow up,

and I've seen kind of every stage of your life.

EMMA: When things get really dark,

and times are really hard, there's something about Harry Potter

that makes life richer.

It's a strong bond that we'll always have.

-We're family. -(ALL LAUGHING)

And we will always be part of each other's life.
