There is a funny little article over at E! Online in which we learn how Gary Oldman added a little bit of blue to Dan's rose-colored glasses quote:"[Daniel] called me up to say that [Deathly Hallows] was going to be in two parts," Oldman said. "'It's just so dense, so much material, that's why,' he says.
"And I said, 'Uh, no, Daniel. That's not the reason why. Cha-ching!' And he was a little crushed. He said ‘Oh, yeah. I see what you mean.'
See? Sirius Black really was a Death Eater after all."Many thanks to radcakesfan for the tip and the laugh!
