There always is in programmes like this, but at least here it is more than usually justified. There is much – rising perilously if perhaps inevitably close to emetic levels – of the cast and crew being like a family.

They both also revealed that they were obsessed with the new Netflix documentary Tiger King, with Felton admitting that he had met the show’ star Joe Exotic two years ago.T he John Williams score plays (with added bells for the festive season), the camera soars above an ersatz Victorian street, wax-sealed letters appear – and just like that, anyone who came of reading or viewing age from 1997 onwards is home. The star joked that he was on a ‘diet’ of Kit-Kats and salt and vinegar chips during self-isolation, while Isaacs said that he has subscribed to ‘every single streaming service’ since adhering to government advice to stay indoors. #HarryPotter #StayHomeSaveLives #TomFelton.’ĭuring the clip, the 32-year-old star filmed himself from his Californian home that he lives in with his dog Willow.

'It's something I'm working on.'Īctors Tom Felton and Jason Isaacs enjoyed a ‘family’ reunion over the weekend in support of the British Red Cross. So, yeah, it's a problem,' the star acknowledged. 'If you watch that, we're never in the same carriage because we couldn't look at each other in the eye. The father-of-one said he used to laugh a lot with Radcliffe in particular, revealing that the scene on the Hogwarts Express in the first film ended up shooting with the two youngsters separately to stop them laughing. They used to call me "Go Again Grint" because I couldn't do anything without doing it 20 times.' For some reason I found that absolutely hilarious and once you start laughing it's very hard to stop because it just becomes a thing,' he said. The friends discussed some of their favourite memories from the franchise, where Grint confessed to often having to shoot multiple takes because he would get the giggles including at inappropriate times like Dumbledore's funeral. He was joined by Harry himself (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron ( new dad Rupert Grint), Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch), Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs), the Weasley twins (also known as James and Oliver Phelps) and more, including one half of his onscreen sidekick, Goyle (Joshua Herdman).
