2 years ago James and Oliver Phelps acted in a short film called A Mind’s Eye. “The story features a character Stanley who goes on a journey through some of the ideas of Plato with the assistance of his reflection, Stanley Too. The twins play the same character, one acting as the real Stanley and the other as the reflection”, explains.
In a new interview with The Yorkshire Post Chris Rankin talks about the Leeds Film Festival and mentions he will finish filming Deathly Hallows in May.
Chris, 26, told the YEP: “I’ve had a fantastic time and the costumes I’ve seen have been superb. The fans are so passionate and grandparents are here with their grandchildren, enjoying the films as a family, which is fantastic to see.
“The Hyde Park Picture House is a perfect location because it’s like the cinema which time forgot. There’s a real sense of magic here, which makes it a great place to watch something magical like Harry Potter.”
Chris added: “I finish filming mid-May so there’s not long to go. It will be strange and very sad to say goodbye.”
You can also see a new photo of Matt and Chris at the festival at the Lewis Lovers galleries!!

Screenstar has a new interview with Rhys Ifans where he talks about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
“This is the first film that I’ve ever done that I’m not really allowed to talk about. But it’s great. I play Luna Lovegood’s (Evanna Lynch) father (and editor of the Quibbler), Xenophilius Lovegood. And it was a thrill.”
“When you’re an English actor and you get the call from Harry Potter, that is like getting your stripes. It was great. You end up on set and there’s all these actors that you’ve worked with before or crossed paths with. So we’d all be sitting there in our chairs eating our soggy English sandwiches, pumping it up, dressed up like wizards. It was a pleasantly surreal experience.”
“She’s [Evanna] amazing,” he said. “If there’s a question on set — and they have a plethora of researchers and people who’ve read the books — but if anyone needs to know ANY miniscule detail about anything that has happened in any Harry Potter novel from start to finish, they ask her. She knows it all. So it was quite intimidating. I was working with this expert in Harry Potter. But she was a joy to work with. All of them, all of the kids or whatever you call them, it was just a great couple of weeks.”
