Actor

Goblet of Fire, and describes the atmosphere on set.
Quote:
In regards to the role I have, I am no longer part of Tom Riddle's cohort, but am one of the members of Slughorn's Slugclub. (Slughorn is being played by the fantastic actor, Jim Broadbent.)
Quote:
I originally took part in the fourth film and prior to this I had read the first three books. It was a great experience to see how the books were translated in to films, and to see how the magic of Harry Potter was made.
Quote:
The Harry Potter films are wonderful projects to be involved with. All of the cast and crew are very friendly, and everyone gets on well with each other. It is great to be taken care of as well as you are at Harry Potter and to work with a large number of professionals. Their combined experience of film-making and their efforts to make the filming as relaxing as possible are shown by the results on screen. It can be a particularly fun experience when working with friends, and I have been lucky enough to work with a number of mine on the films, such as Thomas Chambers, Jon Overton, and James Meyer.

I was a member of the Gryffindor house, and was lucky enough to take part in many varied scenes - from parties surrounding the Quidditch World Cup, to smaller classroom scenes.
