Jeff Rawle talks about playing Cedric's dad in Harry Potter and working with Rob

In the Harry Potter films, you played Amos Diggory, dad to Robert Pattinson's character, Cedric. Did you enjoy that?
Well, that was a casting problem for the films, you see. They had to find someone as good-looking as Robert to play his father, so they said, "Let's get Jeff Rawle"" Robert seemed happy enough to go along with it - he's such a sweet boy and has gone on to have fantastic success. We spent a lot of time together on set, and had great fun.

n Style: Jamie Bower ponders who would win between Team Twilight and Team Potter

InStyle caught up with the gorgeous Jamie Campbell Bower to chat all things Camelot and beyond...
Gorgeous actor Jamie Campbell Bower stopped by for a chat with InStyle about all things Camelot and his future plans.

You play Arthur in Camelot - did you do a lot of research for the role?
I did a bit of research. Above and beyond anything I wanted this character to be real and to be a boy so what it really boiled down to was what experience can I draw from my own life that will make this character real and they wanted to modernise it in a way. People forget that this character may not have actually existed, there’s no factual evidence that he was even born, so while you can draw on literature, most of it is historical and includes possible facts about battles - not so much about the man, so watching someone else’s portrayal of that character doesn’t really help.

And had you ridden a horse before?
I had. I rode on my second job which was a crazy Dutch film and then I rode on this film called Anonymous which I did with Roland Emmerich.

A lot of your roles seem to be quite fantastical - Harry Potter, Twilight, even Sweeney Todd, would you like to do a role that was just simply a guy living now?
If it was a good story I would jump at the chance, it just so happens that most things that I’ve done has been that sort of supernatural role. But that’s because it’s a good story. I’ve just got a new project, which is a fantasy series, so for the near future it's all fantastical.

You’ve been in both Harry Potter and Twilight, was it a different experience on each set?
Every job is different. My time on Harry Potter was very, very short, whereas my time on Twilight was quite long and extended. Every job brings a new life experience. I was able to come back home when I was in Potter, whereas when I was in Twilight I was out in Baton Rouge and Vancouver for five months together. Every job should just bring something new and exciting and should help you grow.

Who would win the battle between team Twilight and team Potter?
Now, I got asked this question the other day, but if it was just the two leads – Edward vs Harry. I said Edward would win in that situation, because once you get the wand out of Harry’s hand, he’s dead. But, you’ve thrown a new dynamic into it because if it was a team battle, honestly then, I don’t know. I probably have to say the vampires again, they do move at super speed but the other guys have wands and you can stand back, you don’t have to get so close. Who knows? It’s a debate that philosophers have been thinking about for years now!

Who would you like to work with in the future?
There’s loads of people I’d love to work with, crikey! I’d love to work with Cate Blanchett. But maybe I wouldn’t like to act with her, maybe I’d like to just stand or be a camera man or a grip because I don’t think I’d be up to her standard. But I’d love to watch her work in a very visual way. Who else? I’d love to work with Tim Burton again, now that I’m older and wiser and ask him more questions.

E News: Will a Twilight Baby Beat Harry Potter's Box Office Record?

Brace yourself, for we just might witness an epic scrum for box office supremacy once Bella and Edward start shagging in November.

If a few factors fall neatly into place, Breaking Dawn, parts I and II, just might earn more blood money than the record-breaking Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2:

So far, the second part of Deathly Hallows—in which Bellatrix is finally Lestranged from her mortal coil, and mischief is, once and for all, managed—has enjoyed the biggest bow in Hollywood history, with $168.6 million in a single weekend.

Might the swooning Twi-hards pay just as much to squirm through the birth of Renesmee? It's not a given, box office analyst Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations tells me. But it could happen, with a little technological help.

"The Twilight saga is the filmic yin to Harry Potter's yang in terms of rabid fans," Bock muses, "so it's not impossible that Breaking Dawn: Part 1 or Part 2 will have the type of opening [Potter] had this weekend, but it's looking more and more unlikely as the series really hasn't crossed over to include the male demographic."

That's an excellent point. Guys do go to see Twilight films, but not in the numbers that flock to Potter films.

That said, both franchises have huge built-in fan bases, Bock observes, and "that usually translates into massive debuts" regardless.

Also, let's not forget that New Moon had the fourth-biggest debut ever, for $142 million. Therefore, Bock argues, if Breaking Dawn: Part I can match that number, it's not so hard to imagine that Part 2 could compete with the final installment of Deathly Hallows.

What might put Breaking Dawn: Part 2 over the top? A more mundane kind of movie magic, Bock tells me.

"The odds are especially good if Summit decides to go through with retrofitting [the final installment] in 3-D," Bock says. "If that does indeed happen, we may just see Team Twilight toppling Team Potter.

"I think it is a necessary evil that the last chapter of the Twilight saga be in 3-D, as we're talking about a bump of possibly $15 million to $20 million."

And even the wealthy Cullens can't turn away that kind of money

Harry Potter takes down "Twilight"

What seemed like a simple battle between good and evil ended with a huge victory for the cast of Harry Potter this weekend as they took home the record for biggest box office record. Harry Potter fans rejoiced as Harry Potter took down Twilight at the box office this weekend with a record of 168.8 million dollars. Harry Potter has now become one of the most biggest movies of all time. But no surprise there it's only been around for 10 years. So what about Twilight? Will it rise or will it fall? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Total Film: 50 Greatest Harry Potter Characters #45 Cedric Diggory

45 Cedric Diggory

As Played By: Robert Pattinson

The Character: Bucking the Hufflepuff trend for churning out loveable, cuddly, pussycat types, Diggory cuts rather a dash around Hogwarts, working the female students into a frenzy with his easy charm and chiselled good looks. Initially rivals with Harry in the build-up to the Triwizard Tournament, the two form a gradual bond of respect, before Voldemort throws a spanner in the works in the graveyard at Little Hangleton…Key Quote: “Harry, take my body back will you? Take my body back to my father.”

EW: Harry Potter Finale May Take New Moon and Eclipse Records

According to Entertainment Weekly, Part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows may overtake he box office records set by New Moon:

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–Part 2 has already collected $25 million domestically from advance ticket sales, according to Variety. The majority of the sales have reportedly been for midnight screenings, giving Deathly Hallows a legitimate shot at beating the $30 million midnight record set last year by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The final Harry Potter film will also be aiming its wand at some other box-office milestones, such as the largest opening day (currently The Twilight Saga: New Moon with $72.7 million) and the biggest opening weekend (The Dark Knight with $158.4 million).

'Twilight' Vs. 'Harry Potter' At MTV Movie Awards: Celebs Weigh In!

Tags: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog

Given the fact that the latest installments in the blockbuster "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" film franchises are the first and third most-nominated films leading into Sunday's MTV Movie Awards — with eight nominations for "Eclipse" and six nominations for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" — we figured it would be fun to ask a few of our favorite celebs the most polarizing of all questions: Team Potter or Team Twilight?

"Wow, that's hard, because I love both of them," Elle Fanning told us of her divided devotion, made especially difficult because of the fact that Fanning's older sister Dakota appears in "The Twilight Saga."

"There's something really sexual about 'Twilight,' " superstar figure skater Johnny Weir pointed out. "And as an older gentleman, I enjoy that."
"Who doesn't want to be a witch or wizard and go to school at Hogwarts?" "Pretty Little Liars" star Troian Bellisario asked rhetorically.

"I'm going to have to remain neutral on that," "X-Men: First Class" star Michael Fassbender said diplomatically.

"You said you cried watching 'Twilight,' after 30 seconds," Fassbender's co-star James McAvoy pointed out.
"Dammit, James!" Fassbender exclaimed sarcastically, pretending to be embarrassed by some big secret he was trying to keep.

" 'Harry Potter' is more my generation," Camilla Belle said. "I remember I was in elementary school when 'Harry Potter' came out."
"I'd have to say [Team] Twilight," "Glee" star Chord Overstreet added.
"I'm a 'Potter' person, because 'Potter' got me reading," revealed "Friday Night Lights" and "Prom" actress Aimee Teegarden.

"[There's] something about vampires and werewolves that do it for me," Hilary Duff weighed in, bringing the unofficial poll count to three Team Potter members vs. four for Team Twilight.
At this year's Movie Awards, "Eclipse" (eight nominations) will be facing off against "Inception" (seven noms) and "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1" (six noms). Voting in all the categories, from Best Kiss to Best Fight to Best Scared-as-S**t Performance and beyond, is currently under way over at MovieAwards.MTV.com. Voting is set to close June 4. But voting for Best Movie will stay open through the show itself, meaning you have a chance to affect the night's biggest winner up until the very last minute.

The 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
