Quotes
- "It was so much fun making the film on set, it was like playtime!"
- —The twins on filming Harry Potter
- "Working alongside such big name actors was fantastic, it hasn't really sunk in yet."
- —Oliver Phelps on filming Harry Potter
- "I took one look at James on the stretcher and burst into tears. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to lose him. We have done everything together since birth and to see my brother laying down on a stretcher pretending to be dead just killed me inside. After James got up and I gave him a huge hug. David said, 'you did great, it was very believable.' Then I told him I just thought of it as me and James not Fred and George.""
- —Oliver Phelps on his emotions pretending that James death was real to him and not as a fictional characters.
