Here is a link to the BBC Radio website and a description of the segment:
Spoony with reaction to the weekend’s football action including Aston Villa v West Ham and Bolton v Arsenal, and the day’s celebrity guest.
Scholastic has posted a new interview with James and Oliver Phelps, who play Fred and George Weasley.
Q: In the films you guys speak in unison. Does that ever happen in real life?
James: It kind of came across because of that. In the films that happened because Oliver said something and I just cut him up to carry on pretty much exactly what he was saying. And Alfonso [the director of Prisoner of Azkaban] said, “I like that. Let’s put it in.” So he literally got the script, crossed a load out and mixed it all up and it came from there. So I guess we do. I don’t know why. Probably been around each other too much.
Q: Have you managed to take any of the props as souvenirs?
Oliver: A few may have found their way into my bag. We were on tour for the Half-Blood Prince and I was going through one airport. I took my laptop out of my bag and I found a puking pastie. And the [security] dude who was working was like, “What’s that?” And I was like, “. . . puking pastie?” And he says, “What does that do?” “It makes you sick.” “Why have you got that?” And I said, “You’re not gonna believe me if I told you.”
Q: Can you tell us any secrets about some of the stars in the film?
Oliver: [laughs] I think Rupert’s [Rupert Grint who plays Ron Weasley] math skills are something to be desired, especially if you’re playing him at a sport. We play a lot of golf and table tennis, and it’s amazing when you finish playing a hole of golf. “It was six Rupe.” And he’ll say, “No it was a four. It was a four!” And he’ll start inventing new rules like, “Oh I’m allowed to throw off the tee on every nine holes,” or something. James: Alan Rickman [who plays Severus Snape] his deep voice and everything and the kind of character he plays, you’re quite intimidated. But he’s such an outgoing and funny guy!
Oliver Phelps announced via his Twitter that he and brother James, who play George and Fred Weasley will be at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening in Spring 2010.
@OliverPhelps Will you and James be at the opening of the HP park in Orlando next year?
yeah we’ll be there.
Tom Felton and Bonnie Wright will also be in attendance.
