You're right, I was freezing my muggles off.
(crowd laughing)
It is, we keep it really cold in here
'cause once we start cookin' it heats up.
(loud laughing)
Hey, listen, did you read the Harry Potter books
or any of that kinda thing?
When I was a kid, it was J.R.R Tolkien.
I'm 50, so that was the closest thing we had.
Right.
Did you read fantasy when you were young?
Yeah, we had the C.S. Lewis.
Oh, yeah Chronicles of Narnia.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Loved that actually. Read all those, I'm 42 and.
Yeah, so same ball park.
Yeah, yeah, so, I loved all those hobbit adventures.
I loved the animated adventures on TV.
Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh.
Totally avoiding the reading the books question.
(crowd laughing)
You waited for the cartoon and film versions.
Yes exactly, I loved the films and now my daughter's
turning seven soon, so when she turns seven we're gonna.
Oh, look at that beautiful family
Hey.
Oh, what are the girls names?
So, the older one is Edie, and then Franny
and that's my wife, Jodie.
Aww. Yeah.
So they can dive into the books now right?
Sevenish?
Yeah the older one will.
And I'm excited to read it with her.
I was gonna say maybe dad wants to read along.
(crowd laughing)
Yeah, that's the plan.
I think we're gonna read 'em to them
and just try to get through all of them.
I hear you're a bit of a magician.
Is that true? Oh boy.
You're not one of the wizards
in the film series, but they say that you like to play,
cast phony spells and play tricks and things.
That's true. On the set.
Wait, they gave me this rubber band, there it is.
I don't always carry rubber bands with me, but.
(crowd laughing)
Are you gonna do a trick with a rubber band?
Yeah, I am. Okay, all right.
So this is, I gotta get the right angle here.
This is a lot of pressure.
Play this field of vision here, hey everybody.
(laughing)
So it's on these two fingers, right, everyone sees that?
Okay, it's on these two fingers.
Correct. Okay, here we go.
So we have, they're on the same fingers, right?
They are still on the same fingers, yes.
Okay, ready, one, two, you wanna hit it once?
(slapping) Three.
Bam, where are they now?
(yelling) (crowd clapping)
A lucky person gets to keep that.
Huh?
Check out this, what?
I would buy that for a dollar.
That was quite good.
I can do that one too.
It was not the fantastic,
oh my husband does that one too.
Yeah, that's a good one. That is a good one.
The two of you at a party, oh my God.
My finger is okay, my finger is okay.
You got Dumbledore, okay, young, wonderful,
Jude Law, Dumbledore.
He is perfect. Jude Law is amazing.
Yeah, he's yes. Amazing.
(crowd clapping)
I saw him do Hamlet once, it was mind blowing.
He's just amazing.
You know what's crazy about him
is that he's got these, you know how Dumbledore
is supposed to have like this glint in his eye?
He has the glint. He has the real glint.
It's there, and when. That's not CGI glint.
No, it's not. That's glint.
He'll lie and tell ya it's not real, but it's real.
Like, I first met him and I was like,
those eyes aren't a normal shade of blue.
(loud laughing)
They're kinda like crystals.
And he knows it, he's like, oh what's wrong,
Dan, what's going on?
He plays it. And I'm just like,
I can't talk anymore.
(loud laughing)
Yeah, he plays into it.
I love knowing that.
It's a fun set, I bet, right?
It's like going and playing with the kids
out in the playground all day.
Yeah, it is, everyone's, they cast it really nicely.
They just cast people that are really fun to get along with,
and obviously super talented.
And then David Yates is the director,
and he's just so lovely.
And everyone involved is just so lovely.
And this time coming back
was like sophomore year of college or something.
Yeah.
Just like old friends and you know the ropes and.
You know your way around campus.
Yeah.
You got a nice vibe going.
It's such a pleasure, man.
It's like I won the lottery or something.
