Post Video: Phelps twins, Nat Tena, Stan Ianevski talk Harry Potter, attend Hubwarts con

James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks), and Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum) headed to Australia this weekend, where they did media promotion for the Harry Potter films and attended the Hubwarts fan convention in Sydney and Melbourne. The four actors spoke to Sunrise early this weekend about the final Harry Potter films in Deathly Hallows. James and Oliver mentioned that their characters, Fred and George, are far more serious in the last movies, and revealed that they find the mass hysteria of the fanbase to be overwhelming. That can be viewed below.



Numerous photos and a report from Hubwarts in Sydney on Saturday were sent over by reader Tyler James, which can be read and seen in our galleries. The Phelps twins stated they would not reveal anything about Deathly Hallows: Part II, and Stan commented on his scene in Deathly Hallows: Part I at Fleur and Bill's wedding that ended up being excised from the final cut.

At 10am, the professional photo sessions begun. They went row by row with each star. I was called off stage before I got to hear our results because I had to get my photo with Natalia taken. She was soooo nice!!! She pulled me over to her, she held out her hand and said really quickly “Hi! Im Nat! What’s you name?”

“Hi! Im Tyler”

She then put her arm around my waist our photo taken. She then said “See you later!”

“Yea, thanks for that! Thank-you!”.

At 12pm, a video clip played introducing Stan to the stage! There was a round of applause as he walked up the side of the hall onto the stage! He introduced himself then started answering questions. Some of the questions that I remember people asking was stuff like “Whats the best part about being in Harry Potter?”

“You guys!” He replied

“How did you get the role of Viktor Krum?”

“Well, I went to an audition. I got a call back saying that I was one of 13 Viktor Krums that had been picked. I had to go in for another audition but my mum (I cant remember exactly what he called her) said No. You have to study for school, not have fun. So I didn’t go. About a week later, I got called again saying that I had been picked as one of the best 9 Viktor Krums, Which I thought was funny because I didn’t show up at the last one. Anyway, I wasn’t allowed to go again. However, they sent a limo to get me this time to make sure that I showed up. My mum came with me to make sure that I studied while there. I got the part from there.”

I asked him “How did you personally feel about your scene getting cut out of Deathly Hallows Part 1?”

“Well, Its not up to me. All my friends thought I was lying when I said that I would be back. They went to see the movie and came back saying stuff like ‘Are you sure that you went back? It which I replied It’ll be on the DVD.”

He then told us that his scene will be on the Part 1 DVD (I don’t think he’s looked at the list of deleted scenes…)

He described the deleted scene saying that he shows at the wedding, steals Hermione from Ron for a dance and Ron has a temper tantrum.

At 12:45pm Stans Q&A session finished. He waked out with everyone cheering at him. He was so funny!

At 1:30pm, The video introducing Natalia played. Again, everyone cheered as she walked up the hall. She was hyper for her whole session! As soon as she got up onto the stage, we said “Ok, what do I do now? Ask me questions? Ok, go.”

Her first question was “We went and bought you a frozen coke during the lunch break. Do you want it?” She jumped around the stage because she was so excited over a frozen coke. She jumped off the stage and got it thanking the people that got her it over and over again. It was really funny!

Her hair was longer than it was in the photo sessions so someone asked if she put extensions in. She said that she had just ducked over to the markets and bought extensions, a kangaroo scrotum and a keying. I didn’t even know that you could buy kangaroo scrotums.

She told us that she is surprised at the end of every year that she is still alive because she has so many near death experiences every year. She falls out of trees, falls over and has even been hit by a tram!

I asked her if she got to keep something from the Harry Potter set. Before I even finished the question she said “No”, She has got to keep something from every other movie that she has waked on but not Harry Potter. She thinks that it sucks, You know that purple coat that she wore in ‘Order of the phoenix’? There was a whole row of them. She wanted one but they wouldn’t let her. There was also an accordion that was in the room of requirement, no-one was going to notice that was missing, but no.”

Her Q&A session went by VERY quickly. She was so entertaining!

At 3pm it was time for the Phelps twins Q&A session. There introduction video played and they came jogging out through the hall. The crowed went absolutely crazy! They were by far the most anticipated by everybody.

The very first question was about Fred’s death scene. They said that they refuse to answer any questions relating to part 2.

Someone asked them if they are going to be acting in anything in the future. They told us that they have both been cast in something together but they are not allowed to talk about it. They seemed very excited about whatever it is aswell…

Another question was who was the better looking one. He ended up voting it to be Oliver. James wasn’t too happy.

They were asked if they played any jokes with anyone on set. They said that one day they were on location. They were with Rupert in his Van. Every van had the same remote so they took there remotes with them. Every time Rupert looked the other way, Oliver changed the channel or volume on the TV. Rupert didn’t know what as happening. He got so close to the tv to look at it. The twins couldn’t hold their laughs in for any longer and just burst out laughing. They were crying they were laughing so hard.

They were asked how it was decided who would play Fred and who would play George. They replied that they met Chris [Columbus] for the first time and asked ‘So who’s playing who.’ Chris said ‘You’re joking right?’ and went over to the casting person. 5 minutes later he came back saying ‘Right, James you’re playing Fred and Oliver, you’re playing George’. They aren’t sure why that was decided but it just was.

Finally, my row was called. I purchased tickets to get an autograph from everyone. I went into the autograph room and there were lines everywhere! First I got my autograph from Stan, he was very polite, Then Natalia, she was still hypo but very fun (she called me ‘cutie’ =/ ), then I went and joined the HUGE line for Oliver. I got to the front and he asked me if I had fun. I replied ‘Yes!’. He then signed my ‘Half Blood Prince’ DVD (Stan Signed my ‘Goblet of Fire’ DVD and Natalia signed my ‘Order of the Phoenix’ DVD). He gave it back and said ‘There you go” I said ‘Thanks! Have fun in Melbourne’.

After Oliver I hopped in line for James. I got there and he said to me ‘How are you?’ I said ‘Good thanks’. He said ‘That’s good.’ He signed my ‘Prisoner of Azkaban’ DVD and gave it back to me. I said ‘Have fun in Melbourne’ and he replied ‘Thanks’.
If anyone else attended or plans to attend Hubwarts this weekend, please feel free to send in photos and reports. Thanks to James for the information!
