So we're about to surprise The Coven, the three witches from The School for Good and Evil.
They don't know I'm sitting here, and I'm gonna meet them for the very first time so-
watch out!
Soman!
Hi!
Hello!
Oh my god, it's so good to meet you guys.
Hey!
I've only seen pictures. This is the greatest moment of my life.
Hey, hey!
No, this is the greatest moment of out lives.
Oh my gosh.
So I'm super excited to be here with you guys.
This is like my dream because out of all the characters, I think,
in The School for Good and Evil series,
the fans and the readers, sort of all around the world, are the most possessive
and in love with The Coven.
Oh, no pressure.
So, when was the first time you actually like laid eyes on each other?
Once we came here, we were all out in the little green area out in front of the hotel.
I saw you guys and I fell in love.
Freya: Yeah, we fell in love with each other. Kaitlyn: I fell in love with you too.
So it was instant? It was instant the three of you-
It was instant. Yeah.
So when you read The School for Good and Evil on the page and you read the witches,
could you feel yourselves in the characters?
Absolutely.
Yes.
100 percent.
Yeah.
Hester has a very, very specific kind of energy,
that which made it hard for us to find the Hester.
You got her though. You got her.
Oh, I know we got her.
When you read her were you like, "Oh, this is it. This is me."?
I think it took me a little moment to sort of tap into that-
that part of me.
It was there, bubbling underneath.
I just had to access it.
I remember the first time they sent me some shots of, I think it was just you alone,
it was in your camera test and your makeup test, and they just sent me-
they didn't even send me video, they were just sending pictures and I was like-
I'm scared.
Oh, good.
What happens when you turn into Hester? Do you have to flick a switch or is there some like-
do, I mean, you feel like something come over you?
That camera test was actually really helpful because I like working with movement,
and I felt like this job, compared to anything I've done before, was a really good chance
to kind of work with physicality.
So doing that camera test and just like walking down the corridor and walking
around classroom, it was so helpful.
She's all there, you know, and as soon as you put on the costume
you’re sort of there, anyway, 90% there.
Kaitlyn, how about you and Dot? Because Dot really is a specifc character.
She is.
Yeah, so how did you feel about reading her on the page and how you related to her?
The thing that I related to most about Dot is like how mischievous she is.
Like with the girls, the these guys are evil just because they're evil.
Cheers.
But Dot's got some-she's got a bit of evil. But she borders on the line don't she?
And I think like her evilness comes from a place of like mischief.
She does everything because it's fun, so especially like being with the girls on set
Like we are a little witch pack.
We're The Coven.
And I think that she's a follower of these guys. She's a follower.
But everything she says is right. She's pretty smart.
I know she comes across daft, but she's pretty smart.
And now Anadil.
I think to get into the mind of Anadil I had to see the rats.
Because they're her babies.
At first when I met the rats I was really kind of nervous about it.
I was like, "I don't know if I can do this. I hope I'm not allergic."
And then I naturally just have this bond where I rock them like a mom does to their baby.
So I was just like, "Oh my god, I have really turned into Anadil."
It's like no feelings, no nothing, except when she has her rats. Then you see like the love inside her.
And I think also, when she's with the girls it's like, "Haha, everything's funny,"
but then when she's with other people it's like, "Don't talk to me unless you have something
valuable to say because you're irrelevant to me."
That's Anadil.
What clicked it for you in your specific costume and hair? Like did one of you feel like it was a
costume, one of you feel like it was the hair? When did-
What physically attracted you to the character on set?
I think it's when we're together.
Because when you're in costume, you can be in costume in your trailer or have your hair makeup
done in your trailer, you're just there and you're like, "This is just another day in the office boys."
Yeah.
Then when you're on set, I've got my big rat, you've got your chocolate, you've got your
dagger, you've got your demon on your neck, and then it's like you look at each-
it's almost like we look at each other we go,
"Here we are."
Kaitlyn: We help each other out. Yeah. "Here we are."
So Hester's famous for her tattoo, her very scary tattoo. So what can people expect?
Better than you can ever imagine. I was so impressed with the designs of it.
They got a tattoo artist to design it, and it's just so cool, and it's a lot bigger than I expected.
So thank you so much for sitting down with me. You guys are the perfect Coven, I mean we
literally searched the world for the right trio.
Demi: Stop, I'm gonna tear up. literally searched the world for the right trio.
And I just want to say that everyone around the world is going to be
incredibly excited to see you in action.
It was so good to meet you.
And I cannot wait for everyone to see you guys in action.
Alright, I'll see you guys soon.
