I wanted to do a name association with
some of those incredible actors that you
that you worked in potowa okay continue
to work with first thing that comes to
mind when you hear their name Emma
Watson small Rupert Grint funny Maggie
Smith shop is a knife in her in a
wonderful way so but like yeah she's
like tough and and like that quick wit
like I was I said to her one morning I
was like Maggie did you see this thing
in the Sun she said no but I read the
Sun so oh god yeah Alan Rickman are
generous richard harris first thing that
comes to mind is phoenix i suppose
because of there was one moment where
that fox the animatronic phoenix in the
second film the the guys that were
operating it
richard thought it was a real bird and
and and it had a camera in it so they
could so he would go up to it and the
guys outside would see him and so they
would start making it react and we he
always for the entire scene always
thought it was a real bird Michael
Gambon oh um out of control funny I hope
just Matt in a great way again just like
anarchic that's what I say for Michael
did you speaking of Dumbledore did you
find out that Dumbledore was gay when
the rest of us did or was that something
that was discussed now it would no no it
was when the rest when the rest of the
world did as well and we will and no
quarter like Michael was delighted by
his cuz he was really camping up around
set then not laugh at that but he yeah I
remember that and I remember the the
hilarious reaction of my favorite
reaction of there was some I guess super
I'm a phobic to two had a massive
Dumbledore tattoo on his back who was
like really angry about it which I was
like yeah that's that's great
when Richard Harris passed away in 2002
you 13
yeah years old I guess um was that
probably your first experience with
someone you knew who died yeah it really
was
I remember it was uh it was like
devastating I was so sad and I think I
think you're pretty much right it was it
was I never known a person that had died
before so yeah that was it was crazy but
I just I feel a looking back is one of
those things where you just have to just
go I'm so lucky to have worked with him
to be able to say you know and it's an
amazing thing to be able to say now but
you know at the end of my life when when
the film's he made were going to be true
like parts of history a lot of them it's
just going to be an incredible thing to
be able to say I work with him and that
he was just lovely and to me and and you
know I've spent some time within the you
know we're not like close close but his
granddaughter Ella who's also like a
wonderful wonderful person and like ya
know is his whole family was really
incredibly sweet to me at that time you
know I was I was involved a little bit
in a memorial service for him and and
they were just incredibly yeah just I
think kind of warm um right back to the
names Helena Bonham Carter knots and
fabulous like I I'm yeah I love her ray
Fiennes genuinely intimidating like I
remember let the when I was 15 doing
sings with rate for the first time was
like yeah that was more that he was even
scarier than Alan was at first like he
was I was because Alan Rimmer was super
intimidating to start with as well but
then you saw like you get in a butt-rape
flight Rafe is bi genuinely scared me
for a few years so he was perfectly cast
he's brought us yeah as he I'd like to
do like I'm imagine it would be a very
different experience one day if we were
doing like a light comedy together
but yeah it was it was it was
interesting and and again a hell of a
learning experience to work with him
