Today, the actors live a glamorous life, as almost everyone around the world is a fan of the fantasy series, but that was not the case when they met for the first time on the set of Harry Potter.
The official YouTube channel of Harry Potter shared a behind-the-scenes video where the young cast members met for the very first time. In the video, the golden trio shared their experience when they were decided to cast in the film. The Horns actor shared that when they were photographed by Terry O’Neill he was calling them with their characteristics as he did not know their name.
“I remember very little about it. I remember Terry O’Neill, I believe was the photographer who took the photo of us. And he continually referred to us as the ginger boy, the one with glasses, and the girl. ‘Cause, of course, nobody knew our names then.”
The video also featured a young Rupert Grint and Emma Watson sharing that when they were brought to David Heyman’s office. They thought that they were going to give another audition, but when they were informed that they were selected to play their iconic roles, they were dumbfounded, until they realized that it was real.

“I was visiting a Japanese school for a publicity thing … and I literally brushed a young girl [on the arm] while I was walking past her and I said, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry.’ And boom! Fainted. I had brushed her and spoken to her and [it] was too much. And she fainted.”
“And, you know, you gotta enjoy that stuff because that doesn’t last forever, like when you have a moment like that, you’ve got to take in how cool and weird it is.”
While the actor is devilishly handsome, he is also a humble personality, and his potential as an actor in the movie industry is never questioned as he takes on interesting roles, that showcase his wide range as an actor.
