![]() When I saw Aragog for the first time, I wasn’t acting - I was genuinely scared. The scenes in Spider’s Hollow were particularly scary as I have a big fear of spiders. RUPERT GRINT: “I got to do a lot more fun things in this film, particularly with the flying car. But I do quite a lot of the stuff, so it is a lot of fun for me.” I do as many of the stunts as possible, but then, of course, there are those that I can’t do. When I’m hanging out of the car window, that’s actually me! I was hanging like 30 feet up in the air and it was just really cool. I trusted Chris Columbus and his comic timing implicitly.”ĭANIEL RADCLIFFE: “The action scenes, for me, are so cool. So he’s a delicious character to play, ferociously irritating and charming, but we had to convince audiences that he could have done all the things he claims. He’s very flamboyant, rather vain and terribly narcissistic. KENNETH BRANAGH (Actor, “Gilderoy Lockhart”): “It was nerve-wracking to me, because I was aware that Chamber of Secrets is a major film with huge audience expectations and that fans already had a very established idea of who Lockhart is. I think he portrayed his character of Lockhart perfectly - really cheesy, really funny.” But he is really, really down to earth and he is a really nice guy. RUPERT GRINT: “I was a bit nervous to start with, working with him, but once I got talking to him, he was just so easy to talk to and down to earth and really funny.”ĮMMA WATSON: “When I first met him, I felt like I would be really intimidated, since he is such an amazing person. But then you actually meet him and he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. ![]() ![]() I’ve definitely improved as an actress and feel happier with what I’m doing on screen.”ĭANIEL RADCLIFFE: “In a way, it was quite intimidating when we first had to meet Kenneth Branagh, because he is an unbelievable Shakespearean actor. Now I know the people and my surroundings and I know what I’m doing, so I feel a lot more relaxed and can have a good time. I was extremely nervous and didn’t know anyone. I’d never done any professional acting before the first film. I just think everyone came back a lot more confident. We knew what we were doing for starts, which was good. RUPERT GRINT (Actor, “Ron Weasley”): “I was a bit more comfortable, because unlike the first one, we knew what everything was, we knew the scheduling.”ĮMMA WATSON: “I think everyone was a lot more confident and a lot more comfortable, because we knew the crew and the director. Whereas on the first one I wouldn’t have been able to do that.” It’s like we’re growing up with the books, because we’re the same age as the characters.”ĭANIEL RADCLIFFE: “I think I was certainly a lot more confident with Chris, and if I had an idea or something, I was more comfortable talking to him about it. By the time we started shooting the second movie, there was a whole level of confidence and ease, and the ability to even do some improvisation, which we had never done before.”ĮMMA WATSON (Actress, “Hermione Granger”): “We just play our age. What happened is that after 150 days of what was almost this acting workshop, they got confidence, they felt better about themselves, they became accustomed to 250 people on the set. What’s great about them is that they realize what a privilege it is to be in these films, unlike other Hollywood people who don’t realize how great their job really is. ![]() Yet, at the same time, they had maintained their enthusiasm, sense of wonder, and their youthfulness.”ĬHRIS COLUMBUS: “These kids have come a long way. The children were more confident and able to draw upon a wealth of new experience for their characters. At the same time, Harry tries to cope with being a “celebrity” of sorts at Hogwarts due to the events of Sorcerer’s Stone, and must cope with grandstanding professor Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), who seeks the attention that Harry shuns.ĭAVID HEYMAN: “One of the wonders for me was watching the maturation of Dan, Rupert, and Emma. Reuniting with Hermione Granger, the trio learn that the forbidden Chamber of Secrets has been opened, unleashing a creature that is attacking those students with Muggle (human) blood.Įventually Harry meets the spirit of Tom Riddle, who seems friendly at first but is ultimately revealed to be the man who eventually became the dark lord Voldemort. With the help of friend Ron Weasley and the Weasley family’s flying car, he does so anyway, discovering that certain students are being turned to stone. Encompassing young Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, that film kicks off with an elf named Dobby attempting to convince Harry not to return to school. ![]() For Harry Potter on film, things kicked off with Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001 and continued a year later with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. ![]()
