Rupert: I’ve got a real problem this year, actually, worse than any. I was bad on the second film and Chris Columbus had to take me aside and sort of give me a few words.It’s quite early on. David hasn’t really said anything yet.He’s laughing off at the moment, but I don’t know how long that will last.
Matthew: He has such an infectious laugh. As soon as he goes, I fall to pieces. I’m gone. There was one scene where we’re supposed to be terrified of what’s on the other side of this wall. They found us, they’re coming to get us. And I can see Rupert laughing in the mirror and i can hear him sniggering in my ear and that set me off and then I set everyone else and it’s so difficult to get the scene going.
Emma: We have to do four or five takes, you just can’t keep a straight face. So, yeah, I blame Rupert.
“When I was much younger, I was often asked in what ways I thought I was similar to Ron. My stock answer usually included something similar to: ‘I like sweets, I’m scared of spiders, I’ve got ginger hair, I come from a big family’ but, the truth is that Ron is my hero. He’s always there for his friends—sometimes belligerently, but there nevertheless, and no matter how scared he may be, he will put aside his fears to support and protect the people he loves. To me, that represents true courage.”
