Alison Sudol: ‘It can make you feel quite lonely, to have something that differentiates you from people like that. Obviously, it deepens the connection between Tina and Queenie because she knows so much about her sister without having to ask. That helps her help Tina. But she also has to protect herself and be aware of how [being a Legilimens] affects her. Tina’s the safest person for Queenie to be around.’

‘The longer I play her, the more I delve into Queenie’s powers. It really informs who she is, because she sees into people. She’s not just reading what you’re currently thinking, she’s reading you. Being a Legilimens means she’s reading your whole story, she’s seeing all of your truths. If she peers in far enough, she can go all the way down.’

‘Imagine, you go to a party and you think you’re the only one that feels awkward or out of place. If you could hear what everyone else was thinking, and knew they felt the same, you’d feel a real connection to people.

‘By the same token though, as a woman, the attention from men could be quite difficult. Queenie’s not ashamed of her body or self-conscious. Except that, well, she can hear exactly what a man is thinking about her. She knows what everyone is thinking about her. That would be so uncomfortable, right?

‘Sometimes it might seem like Queenie’s distracted or even looking a bit ditzy, but it’s just that there’s so much information coming into her mind all the time. It’s a lot to take on, this power.’
