As part of their video series, Empire magazine has released two more interviews, this time featuring James and Oliver Phelps talking about the series.

You’ve always had a lot of comic heavy-lifting, but in the last part there’s a switch into much more serious stuff.
James Phelps:
It was kind of easy: because we’ve played the characters for so long, we see them as more than the one-liners. So it was great fun playing the same characters with that comedy element but a serious side because they become entrepreneurs and this, that and the other. It’s nice to try and get that across.

Your characters have always added a rather light touch, but in this film there are some rather heavier sections.
Oliver Phelps:
Well yes, in the final instalment there are not a lot of laughs from Fred and George at all. Actually, the re-shoot scene that we did was, I think, the first time you see them scared. it’s great to be able to play the same character but show a totally different side, one that the audience haven’t seen before, or even something that they hadn’t been expecting.
