“It was going to be what?
Great name, but difficult to process at this late state of the game.”
It’s difficult, sure, but does Dean feel like a Gary?
“Wow, Gary?
No, I can’t work with Gary,” he says, still processing himself.
“That’s a trip in my head.
There we go, obviously again [Rowling] made the right choice.
I respect the hell out of that.
That’s great.”
Gary Dean is one of the Gryffindor guys and as such, is beloved by many.
“Obviously, Harry is our touchstone character, but he’s got a whole different thing going on.
I always felt Dean was quite funny, he’s like an ordinary guy.
He wasn’t locked in a cupboard all his life.”
It’s like, Wow.'
I always liked him very much for that.
I always thought, he’ll be alright.
Not that he had it together, but well yeah, he had it together.
He went out with Ginny.
It should be noted, though, that Dean has some layers too.
“I was cheering for all of this to come out.
I was like, What a great story!'
How could they cut out this?
How could they cut out that?
How could they cut out the other?'”
Understandably, things have to get cut, and unfortunately, Dean’s backstory fell victim to that.
