Jessie Cave, who played Ron Weasley\u2019s not so secret admirer in the final Harry Potter films, talks to us about filming Great Expectations, family trips to Edinburgh, and obsessive book fans.<\/p>\n

\"Jessie<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

You play Biddy in the new Great Expectations, can you tell us about your character?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s formative of Pip; she grows up with him and teaches him, but he goes off to find his great expectations, and leave his humble beginnings for bigger and better things seemingly, but eventually he comes back. She\u2019s very loyal and very nice and gentle and quite simple, really, in comparison to what London offered.<\/p>\n

On paper it seems like Great Expectations was a sort of Harry Potter reunion, what with Ralph Fiennes, Robbie Coltrane and Helena Bonham carter starring alongside you. Did you get a chance to catch up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On big films, it looks like that but you never really see anyone! sometimes you cross paths so that\u2019s nice, to know that you were all a part of the same thing, which I get a kick out of, but on paper its staggering how many crossovers there are.<\/p>\n

Your younger sister Bebe, plays the young Biddy in the film, where you around to watch any of her scenes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No I wasn\u2019t! She did so well; she\u2019s actually in it more than me, it\u2019s been such a lovely journey for both of us. <\/p>\n

What was it like to work with Mike Newell?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s such a big personality, he\u2019s lovely! To be around him is really exciting. I kind of do this really awful thing where I fall in love with every single director I work with; I was kind of infatuated with him for a little.<\/p>\n
