We were like, “Hey, why not?” Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire/Warner Bros.ĪT: So what was one of the more challenging scenes?ĭM: When Dumbledore died. Do what you guys want.” So we all had Warwick Davis crowd surfing and…. That was fun.ĪT: They kinda just gave you free reign during the ball?ĭM: Oh, yeah, totally. You know, we were all able to just go wild for the mosh pit and things like that. And then the fourth movie, possibly actually my favorite scene, was the Yule Ball scene when we all had to dance and we had the big concert at the end. ![]() So to have a little bit of life back in the movie, that was a lot of fun. But that was a lot of fun to do because all that movie had been very scary and dark and serious. So I’m there “bawking,” but then they had monkey noises coming out. So I’m there like, “Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk.” But in the movie, they turn me into a monkey. In that scene, I think I was meant to be a chicken. So they had us all in our dormitories eating the sweets, then we turned into different animals. Then on the third movie, and it was like a scary movie, and Daniel’s Dad had been speaking to Alfonso, the director, about having a little bit of fun in the movie. Everyone was speaking about how amazing the set is, except none of us had seen it. They wanted it to be a big surprise and everyone can be like, “Ah! Oh my God.” So it was cool to finally get to see it. Because we weren’t allowed to see the Great Hall before we went in and filmed it. Obviously, one of my favorite scenes in the first movie is when we’re walking through the doors to the Great Hall. So it was great.ĪT: What was one of your favorite scenes to film?ĭM: Again, probably in the third movie. Because we were a lot older as well, so we could go out and do more things when we’d finished filming. And we were there for like three or four weeks. What scene was that? Oh, Hagrid was teaching us his class. It was a lot of fun.ĭM: My favorite location… would’ve been on the third movie. And then we went off and had lots of locations on the very first movie. But having us all there, we got to know each other pretty quick. It would’ve just been myself and, say, Matthew Lewis, James and Oliver Phelps, Sean Biggerstaff, would’ve been in the hotel. Had we just been in the studios, the majority of people live in London, so they wouldn’t have been staying in the hotel. We all got to know each other a lot better. Getting to work with Maggie, getting to work on location, all of us in a hotel together-it was great that they’d done that. And Maggie Smith-McGonagall-is bringing us up the steps and to the doors. And then, we were shooting in one of the cathedrals and it’s when we’re walking into Hogwarts. We got to like, get off the Hogwarts Express and see different things. Our very first scenes were getting off the train. So we were filming…somewhere remote in the UK, I can’t remember exactly where. ![]() I’d done movies before, but nothing on this scale. Silly.īut our very first day filming was actually insane. There’s one book in my house from the very first movie that has my autograph. So I’m probably the only person who doesn’t have a signed Harry Potter book. You have them signed, you give them to friends. Like, all through the Harry Potter movies, we’d have all the books and we’d get them signed, then give them to charity. I keep buying them and getting them signed. I walked straight past Dan, Rupert, and Emma over to the director, Chris Columbus, and said, “How’s it goin’, Harry? Nice to meet ya.” So they were lookin’ for a stupid Irish guy and they kinda found him that day. I’d never read the book, I’d never heard of it. I didn’t know who Harry Potter was or what Harry Potter was. He’s an Irish character and needs to be played by an Irish person.” So I believe they were watching Angela’s Ashes or something and somebody said, “Oh, we’ll send him over.” Me. My character was originally cast as an English boy.
