As you might imagine, it was an amazing experience andyou can read about it here.
Or you might read the transcript below.
Oliver: Yeah were quite jokey anyway so we always have a laugh with each other and our friends.
Now, big things happen to your characters in these films.
Can you talk about getting to those places for these characters?
I guess it kind of makes them more real.
And for you, Oliver, you have a particular tough time because you watch your twin die.
I cant imagine what that must be like to play?
But as James said we never tried to shy away from that whole part of Fred and George.
Apart from that theyve always been quite laughy and jokey.
But yeah, I havent really thought about it too much.
I was kind of like Well, Im not gonna do this journey for much longer.
Oliver: It was the same for me yesterday when I was unpacking.
So its starting to sink in now.
But its just something youve got to deal with I suppose.
Which one of you has been doing some assistant director work?
James: I did it on the last one, I havent done it on this picture.
How was that and why didnt you continue?
James: I thoroughly enjoyed it for every reason I wanted to do it.
Is this something you want to do in the future?
Or do you wanna keep acting?
James: It kind of made me open to a lot of the other sides of the industry.
I mean, acting is primarily is where I want to go.
I dont think those guys get the recognition they deserve.
So for them I bet the series ending is even harder.
How did they accomplish Georges ear?
Oliver: Ill just say thats a trick of the trade (laughs).
But its definitely not CGI.
The guy was like what happened?
I go, look at this [pulls beanie off], and they were all bloody hell!
So it seemed quite alright that that song came on while they were taking my ear off.
She doesnt like you guys, you lose your ear and James dies!
Freds not gonna last!
I dont know how they got it, but they seemed quite confident about it.
But yeah, it was very interesting.
When youre preparing for a death scene, does it actually make you think about your own mortality?
James: Um, not particularly.
Im not really that way, my theorys kind of like when your numbers up your numbers up.
And I was like, I was really in character there (laughs).
Do you get a big death scene in the film?
James: I cant say.
Ill keep that one.
Have you guys ever stopped to think about the accomplishment of whats been done?
And its weird that was ten years ago and I was about a foot shorter.
Oliver: I think its such an iconic set as well.
And it actually seems exactly the same as the first day we went in it.
It would be a shame if they do bring it down.
But its still good fun.
Is each film a more exciting experience than the last?
Or do you have memorable moments scattered throughout?
The hall especially, I remember loads of things from that.
Oliver: For each film weve done theres always been a different thing youll remember from that film.
It could have been quite chilly but it was a summer scene.
So yeah theres lots of things you think about.
So you get a lot more emotionally attached to it I suppose.
Certainly the scene where Freds all laid-out as it were.
Hypothetically speaking, are there any items that you would like to take home?
Or have taken home?
James: No…(everyone laughs) We wait until we go home.
Oliver: But Id love to have the wand, would be the main thing Id like.
Cause each wand is individual to each character.
Fred and Georges wands are shaped like broomsticks.
James: Yeah yours is a broomstick and Freds is a pine-cone kind of thing.
But I think I kind of messed up my wand when I kind of broke it.
And it wasnt anything action [oriented]
Oliver: It was the photo shoot for the posters.
Speaking of the wands, I imagine each actor has several identical copies, or maybe not.
Have you used the same wand throughout the years?
Oliver: I dont think its the exact same.
James: I know Ive got three.
Theres like a rubbery, like a hard rubber, and then the other two are wood.
I know the other two are wood cause Ive broken both of them (laughs).
Oliver: Theyre very delicate.
James: But to look at them you [couldnt] tell at all.
Oliver: Thats another thing that we learned with the props and everything is how detailed everything is.
Thats where that detail came from.
The cereal boxes have got different slogans about making you fly faster and everything.
Its really incredible the detail and everything.
So things like that are kind of fun as well.
I was just curious, how many copies of the Daily Prophet are in your house?
Oliver:Hypotheticallynone (everyone laughs)
