In an interview with the Romford Recorder Bonnie Wright’s body double Danielle Sambrook talks about filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Danielle, a Potter fan herself, said: “It’s a lot of fun. I get to see how they do all the things when you watch the film and think ‘how did they do that?’ It’s really weird. I used to watch the films when I was at school. And now I’m 21 and on set.”

As a body double Danielle gets to do almost everything Bonnie does during filming to effectively shadow her as each scene is being filmed.  But, unlike Bonnie, only shots of the back of Danielle’s head will be used intermittently in the final cut.

Danielle, a former student of Marshalls Park School, said: “Another girl does it as well but she has to wear a wig. I only have to brush mine and put clips in, or I sometimes wear a hairpiece.”

Days on set in Hertfordshire can last for 12 hours, but Danielle does get to mingle with the stars. “I like talking to Dan – he’s really down to earth. The whole bunch I work with are great.”

Thanks SS!
