> What was the best prank you pulled on the HP set?

> God... I should probably about the one that was pulled on ME, rather than any I pulled. Because it came from a very unexpected place.
>
> There's - in the 3rd film - there's a shot in the great hall of all the kids sleeping in the great hall, and the camera starts very very wide, and comes in so that it's an inch from my face, a very long developing set, yeah, and Alan Rickman decided he would plant one of those fart machines in my, uh, sleeping bag, and they waited until like -the camera had come in for this huge DRAMATIC developing shot, and then unleashed this tremendous noise in the great hall.
>
> I immediately thought: "This is one of the other kids fucking around, and we were going to get in trouble."
>
> But as it turns out, it was one of the members of Britain's acting royalty.
>
> I think I laughed a lot, was probably a bit embarrassed, but it was really really funny.

> Over the course of the Harry Potter films, you got to work with some amazing actors like Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman. Can you share any interesting stories about working with them?

> Well, one of the moments in my life that will forever be... you know, immortal in my memory, would be - because Gary Oldman is a bass player, a very good bass player, yeah, and, um, I started learning bass on the 3rd film when he joined the cast. And so one day, I think actually maybe on my 14th birthday, that day started with Gary teaching me the bass line to "Come Together" by the Beatles, yeah! And you know, that was just an amazing, amazing moment.

Replying to a redditor:

> Would you rather fight 100 duck-size Elijah Woods or one Elijah Wood-size duck?

> I mean, that is actually very difficult.
>
> I would probably try and fight the huge duck. Because I think that I could sort of... try, if I could break it, then I could have the giant duck as my steed! So I think i'd go for that, because 100 tiny Elijahs, they are going to be very hard to control, I feel like that would be the last scene out of Toy Soldiers or something like that.

Replying to a redditor:

> What does Hedwig do now that the movies are all over?

> well, which Hedwig? There were 3 or 4. I imagine they are all still living with Gary Gero, who was the head of the animals department on Potter. I imagine he is looking after them all somewhere. I imagine they are all at the home where actor owls retire to.
