Idaho, get your wands up. Our next guest is best known as
00:00:16
Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter. Get ready for a panel of behind
00:00:20
the scenes stories. How can we?
00:00:23
How how you can help the world and learn what it's like growing
00:00:27
up in the wizarding world. Ladies and gentlemen, put your
00:00:29
hands, your wands and everything else in the air and clap for
00:00:33
Bonnie Rae. Remembering you, I felt.
00:00:57
Like. I was walking down the aisle.
00:01:02
That was strange about it to see everyone.
00:01:05
It's like, why am I like going down the aisle like this?
00:01:08
I need to be in a Harry Potter movie.
00:01:10
That was amazing. Thanks only yeah, I usually just
00:01:14
walk in the room quietly, but it's lovely to have all the
00:01:18
excitement and lovely to be here with you all.
00:01:21
I know you excited. Well.
00:01:27
Awesome, so let's get into this. Let's get right into it.
00:01:30
So before we get into your story and everything about you, we
00:01:32
have a segment on our show called Growing Up Geeky, right?
00:01:35
What did you geek out on when you were a kid?
00:01:37
Oh. I I basically used to like
00:01:42
anything my brother liked. He was a few years older than me
00:01:45
and he was into Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon so I was into it
00:01:51
too. He's actually who I mean, he's
00:01:54
basically the reason why I went to audition for Harry Potter
00:01:57
because he had started reading the Harry Potter books.
00:02:00
So literally whatever he geeked out.
00:02:02
I I literally did too. So thanks to him, he geeked out
00:02:05
and Harry Potter. So I did too.
00:02:08
And honestly, I still have like the same like everything.
00:02:11
He has good taste. Let's just say what else did it.
00:02:16
Should be at this con dragon. Ball Have you met any of the
00:02:20
Dragon Ball actors yet? No, I Oh no.
00:02:22
You know there's a few. Of them I have, but I forget
00:02:24
which one. It was a long time ago and I
00:02:26
literally was like, me and my brother used to love, you know,
00:02:28
DeVos. Because like Pan, Deborah,
00:02:32
Frisa, they're all here right now.
00:02:34
Yes. And then when we were my brother
00:02:36
and I went with my mom when I must have been like 8 maybe, and
00:02:42
we went to Japan and my brother bought this like Pokémon set and
00:02:46
it wasn't really a thing then. I mean, it was there and I
00:02:49
remember being like, why is he obsessing over these weird
00:02:51
figures? And then it obviously became a
00:02:53
pretty popular show. But yeah, I don't know.
00:02:57
I feel like I still don't we all.
00:02:58
We should all just continue to geek out on things until the end
00:03:02
of our days. I think that's why we're all
00:03:03
here, right? Yeah, for sure.
00:03:07
So real quick, before Harry Potter, you and you kind of
00:03:10
mentioned reading the books. Did you always want to be an
00:03:12
actor? What did you know about the
00:03:14
books before you auditioned for the role?
00:03:18
Yeah, well, I definitely didn't really want to be anything at
00:03:22
nine years old, but everything, I feel like every hour you have
00:03:26
a new dream, which is like, what's cool about being a kid?
00:03:28
You're like, today I want to be, you know, firefighter.
00:03:31
Tomorrow I want to be a fairy. I don't know.
00:03:34
I wanted to be a Pokémon. Yeah, so I kind of, I think it
00:03:37
was more, I think what probably got me the role was just I was a
00:03:40
kid that loved to like show up and take part.
00:03:42
I was very like passionate and wanted to like try every new
00:03:45
experience. And I felt like I, you know, at
00:03:48
that age, you're not too like you're not too self aware of
00:03:51
yourself. You're just like showing up as
00:03:53
you are. And that's probably what kind of
00:03:55
got me the role. And then yes, so it was like I
00:03:59
say my brother, but I did read the first book before I went to
00:04:02
the first audition. And just like everyone, I was
00:04:05
hooked in and wanted to read all of them.
00:04:07
Well, all the ones we had at that moment.
00:04:09
And then just like everyone else, always got that first
00:04:12
book, you know, each book as they came out, like, went to the
00:04:14
bookshop and got my copy the day it came out.
00:04:17
My whole family would read it. We'd each have our own copy.
00:04:19
And I was the slowest reader of the family, so I would take a
00:04:22
while to actually finish the story.
00:04:24
So yeah. So that's awesome.
00:04:26
As the books came out and you're reading the books and knowing
00:04:29
that you were Jenny Weasley, were you going like the bigger
00:04:32
her role got? We're like, Oh my God, this is
00:04:34
just going to become overwhelming for me.
00:04:36
Yeah, for sure. I mean, it was like I was
00:04:37
reading it like in two minds. I was reading it as a fan and
00:04:41
wanting to understand like, the fate of everyone's character in
00:04:44
the storyline. But obviously, inevitably,
00:04:46
anytime Ginny came up or the Weasleys, I was like, what's
00:04:49
going to happen? You know?
00:04:50
It was always that, like, worrying and hoping that
00:04:52
everything is good for that family and for us.
00:04:55
And yeah, it was always I, you know, never knew that that's
00:04:59
the, you know, the the evolution of Ginny would happen in the way
00:05:02
it did. So it was also it's complete mix
00:05:06
of excitement and being overwhelmed and nervous to sort
00:05:08
of do that character justice and everything justice, which is the
00:05:12
same, I would say, for all of us really.
00:05:14
It came obviously bigger and bigger as the series went on.
00:05:19
That's awesome. So I love the behind the scenes
00:05:22
stuff. Can you tell us a little bit
00:05:24
about like the filming process, especially what you were nine,
00:05:28
Yes. What's it like being 9 and like
00:05:30
a decade of your life in this role?
00:05:34
Yeah, I mean, I knew absolutely nothing when I stepped onto the
00:05:39
set. Like I didn't know what action
00:05:41
meant cut then, why Lights was facing a certain way, why they
00:05:45
said certain things. I was very grateful to Julie
00:05:49
Walters, who played of see Molly Weasley, who I think literally
00:05:52
saw I look lost and was like, OK, you come with me, I'll show
00:05:54
you what's up. So I feel like honestly, the
00:05:57
first scene, I'm literally not even acting.
00:05:59
I'm just looking like bewildered as I was, which I think was
00:06:03
fitting for the scene. So it's fine.
00:06:06
But yeah, as the series develops, I obviously it was
00:06:09
like, you know, acting school and also filmmaking school.
00:06:12
Like I was a very curious child and teenager and I was was
00:06:16
really fascinated with not just the acting side of things, but
00:06:20
like everything. Like I was really interested in
00:06:22
the whole world building that you have to do to create a world
00:06:26
as magical as that. And how every single department
00:06:29
within a, you know, film production has a real role in
00:06:32
creating that world and suspending that disbelief that
00:06:35
we live in this like magical world.
00:06:37
So, you know, it really when I went to university, I went to
00:06:41
film school. I didn't go to drum school.
00:06:43
I studied film school. So I was very, very completely
00:06:47
changed by the experience in the sense that I just wanted to tell
00:06:53
stories like this kind of forever.
00:06:54
That's awesome, and how did you go to school?
00:06:57
You assumed you all went to school on set.
00:07:00
Yes, we did. Yeah.
00:07:02
It was quite crazy. You'd be like, I don't know,
00:07:05
learning something, and then you're like, OK, now I've got to
00:07:07
go to the Great Hall and do this.
00:07:09
So that was fun. You studied in the Green Hall.
00:07:12
No, I need my EP. No, that we wouldn't get
00:07:15
anything done, I don't think if we did that.
00:07:17
No, we were just in little classrooms.
00:07:20
But yeah, I mean, you have to do like so many hours a week of
00:07:22
school and you know, you'd only work so many hours, which is why
00:07:26
the films took us like 8-9 months to film, which I think
00:07:29
all the older adult actors like this is great.
00:07:31
We have short days, lots of breaks, but for us it was quite
00:07:36
a jam packed day, honestly. I mean, even just the 9 half
00:07:39
hours you could be at work, so to speak, you had to do so many
00:07:43
hours of school. But it was fun.
00:07:46
I mean, as you grew up, like as school gets different, I mean,
00:07:49
our schooling system is like a little bit different in the UK
00:07:51
in the sense that you start like dropping off subjects quite
00:07:54
early on. So by the time you're like 18,
00:07:56
you only are doing like 3 or 4 subjects.
00:08:00
So it became like very specific, which sometimes becomes a little
00:08:04
more challenging because like what you're needing from that
00:08:07
tuition, you have to be basically very, very
00:08:10
independent, forthcoming to like get that work done.
00:08:14
And so in the final film, I'd already started my first year at
00:08:18
college and I was like, oh, I got to keep up with everything.
00:08:21
I don't want to get behind, you know?
00:08:23
And I'd go to my professors and they're like, you need to relax.
00:08:26
Like you've literally probably come to more things than most.
00:08:28
Like first year college, Like pretty much everyone's just
00:08:32
like, maybe hungover. Like, it's OK.
00:08:33
I was like, OK, OK, OK, OK. I just had that innate, like, I
00:08:36
need to catch up and not get behind feeling.
00:08:38
So that was a good like OK, well.
00:08:40
Probably from film like you. Have no yeah, yeah, I have to
00:08:42
get everything done. But I'm pleased that they
00:08:45
supported dozen our education so that, you know, I did choose to,
00:08:50
you know, go through college. That was kind of important to
00:08:53
me. I think not that everyone should
00:08:55
and needs to go to college. Everyone's so different.
00:08:57
But to me, I was pleased that I was able to continue that.
00:09:00
Awesome. That's great.
00:09:01
That's great. So you mentioned going to school
00:09:05
on set, so of your cast mates or classmates, who do you keep up
00:09:11
with the most and who's the most chatty?
00:09:14
Who's the most chatty? Probably be quite chatty.
00:09:20
Matthew Lewis is very chatty, Neville, which you wouldn't
00:09:22
think it's too busy and Oliver are also very chatty.
00:09:27
He's just too busy. Kind of like all of us have both
00:09:31
sides. I would say I don't know, like,
00:09:33
you know, you know, when you're in a room together and you
00:09:35
haven't seen each other. But then if you're if we do
00:09:37
these things together often, obviously you're meeting so many
00:09:40
people that you also respect that like you might need like 30
00:09:43
minutes of like not talking to anyone to like recharge your
00:09:46
battery. So yeah, it's got to that point
00:09:48
where we know each other so well and have been through so many
00:09:50
different unique experiences together.
00:09:53
It's that like nice flow that you have with people that you
00:09:56
are like really close with. So yeah, I love that there's so
00:10:00
many experiences that we keep getting to do through the world
00:10:04
of Harry Potter and just how, yeah, you just meet like 7 year
00:10:07
olds now and they're like in it like it's today that the movies
00:10:11
are coming out. Like it just feels. 30 year
00:10:13
olds. No, I mean like the new
00:10:15
generation, I'm saying it goes to, you know, I like how many
00:10:19
generations now have been through it.
00:10:20
I don't know. I could probably, we could
00:10:22
probably figure that out with some counting.
00:10:24
But yeah, it's just so cool that it's still loved and, and it
00:10:29
brings a lot of people joy and it gets, you know, it.
00:10:33
It means something very specific and special to everyone.
00:10:36
Yeah. Yeah, so true.
00:10:37
So true. And that goes for so many
00:10:39
fandoms. Like I grew up on Star Wars and
00:10:41
it's the same sort of thing. It's it's nice watching my kids
00:10:44
and the next generation kind of grow up with their own version
00:10:48
of Star Wars of the show. Yeah.
00:10:49
So. Yeah.
00:10:50
So that was Harry Potter. Do you have a favorite role
00:10:54
outside or maybe a project where you're like, hey everybody, you
00:10:58
know me, you know as Ginny Weasley, but go check out this
00:11:02
other project I did. Yeah, sure.
00:11:05
Well, second to storytelling and magical worlds, I also deeply,
00:11:12
deeply passionate and care for our environment.
00:11:14
I mean, we all should. We live here.
00:11:17
And so I wrote a book on this called Go Gently and and it
00:11:21
basically looks at our day-to-day life and how we can
00:11:23
connect to these like wider issues.
00:11:25
Yeah, to feel a little bit more connected and in control and in
00:11:29
sort of understanding rather than getting lost in a world of
00:11:31
statistics and facts. And I also just made ATV show
00:11:36
that's coming out in July that's also called Go Gently, and it
00:11:40
follows me and my Co host on a road trip from Los Angeles to
00:11:44
Portland, visiting different people in their very local, you
00:11:48
know, communities taking action for, you know, issues that
00:11:51
they're facing in their environment.
00:11:53
So it's a very sort of like local feel good story, kind of
00:11:56
amplifying the work that people are out there doing.
00:12:00
And yeah, I'm very excited. It's something that I sort of
00:12:03
like creatively produced and everything.
00:12:05
And it comes out, yeah, in the summer.
00:12:07
That's awesome, yeah. Thank you.
00:12:10
Giving back the. Community and I was going to
00:12:13
say, I mean, you've done a lot of good with the platform that
00:12:16
you've had because not only just the, the obviously the book, but
00:12:20
then the activism you've done your environmentalism that
00:12:23
you've been involved in working with Greenpeace.
00:12:25
And those are all huge steps that not everybody does.
00:12:30
And I, I, me personally, I have a huge respect for that.
00:12:33
But I mean, you know, that's definitely a platform that we
00:12:35
want to push out there along with the book as well.
00:12:38
Yeah. Appreciate it.
00:12:39
Yeah. The book is called Go gently
00:12:41
actionable steps to Nurture Yourself and the planet.
00:12:44
And what I like about it is it's like it doesn't have to be these
00:12:47
huge major steps. It could just be the small
00:12:49
steps. I think there I saw one
00:12:51
interview you did where you're like, think about that tomato
00:12:54
that you're buying at the grocery store and like what it
00:12:57
took to get into your hands, you know, is it the best source
00:13:00
tomato? I live in California, so it's
00:13:03
like, is it locally sourced? Did you get it somewhere that
00:13:05
was local? That sort of thing.
00:13:08
And the best ethical way for that tomato to get into your
00:13:12
hands. Not that I like tomatoes, but.
00:13:16
What do you like? But we're in Idaho potatoes.
00:13:18
Yeah, potatoes. There you go.
00:13:21
Hey. My mom and I think many English
00:13:24
people like potatoes too, all across the UK and Ireland.
00:13:29
So my mom's like, have you had any potatoes yet?
00:13:31
I was like, you know what? I had some potato chips but I
00:13:34
need to get an actual. Remember, McDonald's is locally
00:13:37
sourced here. There you go.
00:13:39
Might not be just potatoes and might be some other things did.
00:13:44
You get the goody bag of. That's where I had my potato
00:13:47
chips, yeah. There you go.
00:13:50
I think last year there might have been like a potato candy
00:13:53
bar or something like. That like the spud.
00:13:55
Yeah, I have that in my bag. What OK do?
00:13:58
You recommend the spud bar? OK, good.
00:14:01
I think it's mostly marshmallow. Where don't we finish?
00:14:03
I'll eat that. But I do need like a fresh
00:14:06
potato, you know, I mean, not raw, but like, I need a oh.
00:14:10
Hey, I don't know what they do in English.
00:14:11
That's fine. So where were we?
00:14:14
Back to seriousness, You had the ability to go from acting to
00:14:17
getting in the green, film making to becoming a
00:14:20
screenwriter and directing. What has your favorite role or
00:14:27
not role as an actor but like role as a film maker?
00:14:30
Yeah, like what? What space within film making is
00:14:32
your favorite role to be in? Front of the camera, behind the.
00:14:36
Camera I definitely probably behind the camera, although in
00:14:43
this TV show that I was just mentioning go gently.
00:14:44
I'm like presenting Co presenting the show.
00:14:47
So that was like a whole new world for me in the sense that
00:14:49
I'm in front of the camera, but as myself, which was really
00:14:52
nice. But yeah, I just love I love
00:14:55
being behind the camera. I love being really part of the
00:14:58
crew and I really loved when I, you know, from film school to
00:15:03
like graduating and continuing my projects.
00:15:06
Like I've always worked in very small scale independent
00:15:09
productions and to me that's felt very authentically good to
00:15:13
me. And you're very collaborative
00:15:15
with people. You're working really closely
00:15:16
with people. Like people's roles don't have
00:15:19
to be so rigid. They can kind of be a little bit
00:15:22
more fluid and you can kind of crossover and do different roles
00:15:25
if you want to. It doesn't have to be so like
00:15:27
that's your department. You can't touch this one.
00:15:29
So I really love that. I think it makes people, you
00:15:32
know, step up to their creativity and like just get
00:15:35
stuff made and usually, you know, you're only going to
00:15:38
really love the work if you're doing that.
00:15:39
I think so I've always loved that and just had, you know,
00:15:43
from different ideas. I mean mainly I've only done
00:15:45
like short films, music videos and like the odd commercial.
00:15:50
So yeah, I don't know, it's always just fun.
00:15:52
Every projects has a unique experience and I've managed to
00:15:57
work with some really cool like people my age doing those things
00:16:01
or managed to cast some good actors in them.
00:16:04
Nice. It's awesome and you've seen the
00:16:07
the biggest of big productions and.
00:16:10
Yes, quite like the. Smallest set.
00:16:12
Quite a different spectrum of $1 a day shoot and.
00:16:18
Especially when you go and like start doing your own film sets
00:16:21
and things like that. Like, oh man, I didn't realize
00:16:23
it was He's crazy. For sure.
00:16:25
I think the beauty of like having a back to front Korea, so
00:16:28
to speak, is that I was really exposed to the people who were
00:16:31
really in the top of their fields in their departments and
00:16:35
the kind of like attention to their craft and how good they
00:16:39
were at things created this really like great high, just
00:16:43
like quality to sort of like strive towards.
00:16:46
Because of that, you can still have that same work ethic on
00:16:48
like a smaller production and that attention to detail.
00:16:51
So it definitely was a good like aspirational beginning.
00:16:57
Yeah, awesome. Hey, let's get some QA going.
00:16:58
So if you have a question, come on up, come up to the front,
00:17:01
we'll catch. You we need Rachel right up to
00:17:04
the front real quick though, just cuz Rachel's gonna be real
00:17:07
quick. I.
00:17:07
Do have a quick question. So being on set, do you have
00:17:11
like a a behind the scenes moments, experience or memory
00:17:15
that sticks out to you? Like I was trying to think like
00:17:18
the last time you are you were all gonna be on set together.
00:17:22
Yeah, yeah, it's hard to find one of a 10 years experience,
00:17:24
but I mean, I guess my fondest scenes were always in the
00:17:28
boroughs, the Weasley House. If I could just, like, sit there
00:17:32
for another hour, that would just like a nice place to go and
00:17:34
chill. But yeah, I mean, when we filmed
00:17:37
the last scene, that was actually the last scene that you
00:17:39
see. It was just so surreal because
00:17:42
you're like, is this really it? You know, just like, never
00:17:45
actually sunk into like a year later when you're like, oh,
00:17:48
yeah, we're not going back to do that.
00:17:49
It was like just part of your year.
00:17:52
The final scene being the the scene of you guys on the
00:17:56
platform and they age you up 10 years.
00:17:58
When, when we look like we're 30 years older than we're meant to
00:18:02
be, I was like, and I hope I didn't look like that with three
00:18:06
children and. What's what's funny about that?
00:18:09
Like actually funny about that is you look younger now than you
00:18:11
did when they did that. I.
00:18:12
Appreciate that. That's the other.
00:18:14
I only have one child, so we'll see you.
00:18:16
Know it's like they they made you 30 in that and it's like
00:18:19
yeah no she's older now than she was supposed to be then and she
00:18:22
looks younger now yeah I. Appreciate.
00:18:24
Although I don't. I think if it was what, 19 years
00:18:26
later and they finish at 18, I'm still not almost there, but.
00:18:31
It's those English potatoes, that's what.
00:18:33
It's yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:18:35
How's all that you know called magic, collagen and potatoes?
00:18:37
It doesn't happen. Rachel, go ahead.
00:18:40
Two things for you. What house are you in real life?
00:18:44
Oh, you know, I'm a Gryffindor too, so it's meant to be.
00:18:49
And also I have a potato pin to present to you.
00:18:52
Would you like it? I would love it.
00:18:53
Yes, please. We like potatoes too, Rachel.
00:19:00
She gave us these. And it says I to her.
00:19:02
Perfect. Thank you.
00:19:04
Thank you. You're awesome, Rachel.
00:19:05
Thanks. Hi, I was just wondering like
00:19:12
what scene or what moment did you have your like aha like I'm
00:19:16
a wizard. That's a good one.
00:19:22
I guess the chamber's secrets when I finally like put my robes
00:19:25
on and I'm like, I'm here, I've arrived, all good.
00:19:28
So yeah, I feel like just the great home.
00:19:31
I thought because, you know, obviously everyone had
00:19:33
experienced being in the Great Hall by the time I was filming
00:19:36
the second film, being the year younger.
00:19:38
So I feel like I was just having my own quiet like, Oh my gosh,
00:19:42
where is everyone had had that like the year before.
00:19:45
So, yeah, I feel like honestly, just being in the Great Hall,
00:19:47
like hearing the first Dumbledore speech and you're
00:19:50
just like, yeah, I know that Daniel Radcliffe went through a
00:19:54
lot of wands. Yes.
00:19:56
Did you go through a lot of. No, I looked off my wands very
00:19:59
well. I don't think I maybe.
00:20:02
No. I don't think I damaged
00:20:03
anyone's. Yes.
00:20:05
And then just happy late Mother's Day.
00:20:07
Thank you. That was good.
00:20:11
Hi, I only have one question. What advice would you give to
00:20:18
people who want to become actors and specifically young people?
00:20:22
Oh, yeah, good question. A hard question because of so
00:20:25
many different things. But I would say the best thing
00:20:29
to do with, I feel like any passion is to like, find the
00:20:32
community to do it within. And particularly as acting, you
00:20:36
really need to have each other to act with.
00:20:39
So I feel like firstly just really belonging to a community,
00:20:43
whether that's like a theater group or a drama club or like
00:20:46
some sort of way that you can like be together because I think
00:20:50
it can be like so many things if we do them like solo at home,
00:20:54
they can feel like more overwhelming than they really
00:20:56
are. So I think just like really take
00:20:57
part and see if you can like be in even multiple communities,
00:21:00
maybe of acting. And if you want to get into
00:21:04
film, I would say often until you maybe get an audition, you
00:21:08
maybe never seen like what a script looks like, but you can
00:21:11
actually read loads and loads of scripts online.
00:21:13
Like say you have a favorite movie, download that script and
00:21:17
read it and familiarize yourself with like how scripts are
00:21:19
written differently to like how a play is written And see,
00:21:23
sometimes there's not much on a script page.
00:21:26
So it just shows you when it comes to an audition, you've
00:21:29
really got to like use your imagination to you decide to
00:21:33
visualize how you should read that scene.
00:21:35
Whereas when you read a play often, I don't know, they're
00:21:38
just very different. So like try and read the
00:21:40
different like mediums of plays and films and I don't know, just
00:21:47
have fun with it. I think it could all be quite
00:21:49
overwhelming and serious. And I feel like, yeah, just have
00:21:54
fun. And I think you've, you've got
00:21:57
to be OK with allowing things to like, I don't know, there's so
00:22:00
many people who want to do it and that's great.
00:22:03
And I think just always check in with yourself that you're
00:22:05
enjoying it because sometimes it can feel challenging.
00:22:08
And that's where community comes in, in the sense that you can
00:22:11
like just be around each other and share the experience.
00:22:16
Thank you. Thanks for your question.
00:22:17
Good question. Hello as a.
00:22:20
Former child actor, Which of the adult actors did you learn the
00:22:24
most from and what did you learn?
00:22:27
Oh, I couldn't really pick one honestly, because it was they
00:22:30
were all just brilliantly good. I mean, I feel like I learned
00:22:34
most in the scenes where there were the most of them in it, if
00:22:37
that made sense, because the most you learn was them acting
00:22:41
with each other. And I feel like the best scenes
00:22:45
were when I happened to be in something where I kind of was
00:22:48
not necessarily like a pivotal part of that scene myself.
00:22:52
But I could just sit and sort of like stare and watch and just
00:22:56
seeing how they would kind of like work dynamically with each
00:22:59
other, read off each other, see how one's going to play it and
00:23:02
change how they're going to do it.
00:23:05
And I think for the characters who are particularly like
00:23:08
strong, kind of overwhelming characters, how they weren't
00:23:10
afraid to like take over seen because that is what the
00:23:14
character was doing. So just seeing that kind of
00:23:18
place that they went to that was very in character without
00:23:22
needing to be like, you know, intensely method.
00:23:24
It was just like they weren't apologetic.
00:23:27
You know, they just kind of came in and did that thing in a
00:23:29
confident way, which I think when you're young and a
00:23:31
teenager, you're kind of like you're the opposite.
00:23:34
So it was good to like be inspired by that.
00:23:36
Thank you. Yeah, thanks.
00:23:40
I am. What would you say is your
00:23:43
favorite like piece that you got off the set like once filming
00:23:48
was done that you got to take home with you or like your
00:23:50
favorite like steal? What did you steal from Set?
00:23:54
There's many people that did and I did not.
00:23:56
I didn't get the memo. I should have like got onto it
00:23:59
quicker. You know what, I, I kid you not,
00:24:01
I literally have not one thing. So I just have to go and see
00:24:05
them in the exhibitions and the museums.
00:24:08
But what I would have loved to have taken, I honestly would
00:24:11
have probably just been like my Gryffindor robes, like something
00:24:14
super basic like that I spent hundreds of days in or, you
00:24:19
know, a great Weasley knit corduroy something, you know,
00:24:24
something that Molly made. But yeah, I actually don't have
00:24:28
anything do. You have a favorite piece of
00:24:30
like Harry Potter memorabilia. Oh, I guess I love the clock in
00:24:38
the Weasley house. You know, that shows where
00:24:40
everyone is. That would be pretty cool.
00:24:42
Way cooler than like, air tags or whatever way with that.
00:24:47
That would be way more fun. And I'd be maybe less creepy
00:24:51
than the way that we track things these days.
00:24:53
I feel like that's a bit more like beautiful and poetic, you
00:24:56
know? So I'll take a clock.
00:24:58
Yeah. Awesome.
00:25:00
Hey, let's get one more question then we got you can come on up
00:25:03
and then we'll do some rapid fire questions then come.
00:25:05
Back, we'll come back to Q&A. So we have we have another
00:25:07
section for Q&A guys. I'm an aspiring young actress
00:25:10
and I just wanted to ask what's the best thing and the worst
00:25:14
thing about being an actress? That is a hard question.
00:25:22
The best thing I think, is just being on set when the project
00:25:29
finally comes and you're there and you're doing it and it's
00:25:32
happening because so much of like loads of work can be all
00:25:35
about like the leader. But the actual percent of your
00:25:37
time and your career you can spend doing like the bit you
00:25:40
love the most can sometimes feel tiny.
00:25:42
So I think when you're just actually there and the cameras
00:25:45
are rolling and you're with everyone and you're just like
00:25:47
the whole world just kind of melts away and that sort of
00:25:50
presence and the worst part. I mean, honestly, I don't
00:26:03
actually act anymore, so maybe that's hard to remember that
00:26:07
because it is a challenging place to be, you know, I think
00:26:10
there's so many roles, it's hard to like go for things and to be
00:26:13
passionate. And for me, that's why I got
00:26:15
into the filmmaking side of things, because I was too
00:26:18
impatient. And I like to have my hands and
00:26:20
loads of pies. But I guess it's just
00:26:22
challenging to, you know, when you've finished your day's work
00:26:26
and you leave, you're not in control of like how your
00:26:30
performance comes to the screen. You've really got to entrust the
00:26:32
production and the editors and the post production to bring
00:26:35
that to life. And it is very, very surreal, I
00:26:38
think, to sort of do your piece, walk away and then not see the
00:26:42
project for months later. And so that's always quite hard
00:26:46
to kind of like walk into the screening of a film and kind of
00:26:49
not know really what, you know, how your character is going to
00:26:53
have come to life in that film. So that's always hard.
00:26:55
That kind of like faith you've got to have in, you know what
00:26:59
you did that day being the best and and you feel proud of that.
00:27:03
So, yeah, awesome. Thanks so much.
00:27:06
All right, you hang out right there.
00:27:07
So we can stay, we can keep the same order, but let's do some
00:27:11
rapid fire questions. We got some fun, we got some
00:27:13
some fun things to ask you here. So what would be a dream role or
00:27:17
franchise to be a part of? You can't say Harry Potter.
00:27:21
No, I think I did that one did that one.
00:27:29
I'm like the millionth person that's reading and a bit slow to
00:27:33
the story, but I've on the 5th court court of Thorn and Roses
00:27:37
series, but that late to the series.
00:27:39
But I would honestly like that production is probably, I mean,
00:27:43
they're obviously going to make them into films, I'm assuming.
00:27:47
And I just like want to be just like I could just be anyone.
00:27:50
I could just be a production assistant just watching it
00:27:53
happen like I would just love. Just to be a partner.
00:27:55
Just to be, yeah, just to like watch how they're going to like
00:27:58
bring that to life, like or even just being in like the
00:28:01
production, like the sort of like production design, like the
00:28:04
set design, I think would be really fun for that series, like
00:28:07
the the realms that they create. You know, I thought I think
00:28:11
would be cool. That's good.
00:28:12
That's awesome. All right.
00:28:13
Great debate. Do you prefer coffee or tea or
00:28:17
potato? Oh, you know what?
00:28:23
I can't. The English in me needs to say
00:28:25
tea, but like, I just like coffee, you know?
00:28:29
But I can drink more tea than coffee.
00:28:31
But it's not. I would go for caffeine over a
00:28:34
potato, I must admit. That's good.
00:28:39
Who would you like to sit and who would you like the most sit
00:28:41
next to on a 10 hour flight? Now when I say this, it is the
00:28:45
idea is you have a 10 hours on this flight, you have one person
00:28:49
to talk to, dead or alive. They can come back for one day.
00:28:52
Who's the one person you would want to talk to?
00:28:59
I don't I feel like I'd want to sit like this is not it's not
00:29:05
like any I want to sit like next to my son, but not in his age
00:29:09
now because it's quite challenging on a plane, but like
00:29:12
maybe like his a like him as my age now.
00:29:17
Oh wow, that would be cool such. A good answer.
00:29:20
I don't need like a 20 month old on the plane.
00:29:22
That's where you at? Yeah, Yeah.
00:29:24
So yeah. That may be the most profound
00:29:27
answer I've ever gotten on this. Yeah, some people say Jesus, but
00:29:31
like. Yeah, I mean, I've gotten.
00:29:33
Suddenly, yeah. We've ranged like we've gotten
00:29:35
from, like, you know, film makers to, you know, I want to
00:29:38
talk to Jimi Hendrix to, you know, I've never heard somebody
00:29:41
say my adult son, who is now 20 months old.
00:29:45
Yeah. Something easy.
00:29:47
The the the. Philosophy behind that is just
00:29:51
my mind was blown all. Right.
00:29:52
It's great. OK, next one, James and Oliver
00:29:55
Phelps, AKA the Weasley twins. Which is your least favorite and
00:30:00
why? No, I got no never.
00:30:04
It's like. Fighting the war of your
00:30:05
brothers. That's an unanswerable question.
00:30:10
All right, I guess we, we, we. Tried to rage bait, but I mean,
00:30:13
all right, last one here. If you were a superhero or a
00:30:17
villain, which everyone, because I mean we all know villains are
00:30:19
more fun to play, which one would, which one would you be?
00:30:23
And what ordinary task would frustrate the living hell out of
00:30:26
you? Ordinary.
00:30:27
Task. Ordinary task?
00:30:28
Just being a superhero. What ordinary task would
00:30:31
frustrate you? Probably getting dressed in the
00:30:37
morning because you like OK got to do this another day.
00:30:40
Got to be cruel person. And I feel like most great
00:30:45
villains have like great aesthetic looks, you know,
00:30:48
whether it's their costume or they're like prosthetic.
00:30:51
Like if you're talking about films like some mystical magical
00:30:55
makeup, I don't know. It's probably quite a like
00:30:58
performance. Just getting ready in the
00:30:59
morning. So that would be long.
00:31:02
I would need lots of cups of coffee, maybe anti nice and a
00:31:05
potato. So so I got to ask this, your
00:31:09
superhero or villain, would they have super strength?
00:31:14
Super strength, I mean, does that also come under like super
00:31:19
powers like magic? OK, yeah, it would.
00:31:22
They would be magical. Yes, they.
00:31:23
'D be magical. OK, The reason I ask is because
00:31:25
like the ordinary tasks being like just getting dressed in the
00:31:27
morning. How many shirts are you ripping?
00:31:28
Just trying to put a shirt. On oh, like if they would use
00:31:30
magic to do that, yeah. I mean, I guess some of it they
00:31:35
wake up like that, right? I mean, they're going to have
00:31:37
to. It depends if we're talking
00:31:38
about for playing that role. No, no saying if you were a
00:31:42
superhero. OK, Yeah, well, I'd be the
00:31:45
villain of the superhero, I think, because that would be the
00:31:49
hardest morning to wake up. You know, just like the hangover
00:31:52
of just being like, not like, I mean just like character
00:31:55
hangover of like being that person.
00:31:57
It's like a heavy burden. They've clearly got some like
00:32:00
deep rooted like things that they haven't worked through.
00:32:03
I got to kill Superman. I got to try to kill Superman
00:32:05
again. You'd probably wake up like not
00:32:07
liking yourself, right? So that would be a lot.
00:32:11
Another day of trying to kill Doctor Who again.
00:32:15
All right. Last question.
00:32:16
What are you nerding out on these days?
00:32:19
Well, as I just said, I'm on the 5th Court of Thorn and Roses.
00:32:23
I did that thing where like you're nearing the end of a book
00:32:25
and I was on the plane here and I was like, I'm just going to
00:32:27
stop reading because then I'll get to the end of the book and
00:32:29
then I'd be like the end, you know, you ever get like that?
00:32:31
I'm sure we all got like that with Harry Potter.
00:32:33
Like I know what is the end. Peak ADHD.
00:32:36
So I'm on page like 600 of that. So then I'll have to find
00:32:40
something else. Oh my goodness.
00:32:42
So if you have any suggestions. We need we need suggestions.
00:32:44
I need after that. Come on up, you got a question,
00:32:47
you gotta have a book suggestion too.
00:32:49
Don't let her down. Yes, I need books.
00:32:52
I need page Turner books cuz I'm reading at the end of putting my
00:32:55
son still asleep and I'm tired. You know that's.
00:32:57
That's fair, I don't really have any book recommendations.
00:33:01
I do want to say I'm a Gryffindor as well.
00:33:03
Go Gryffindors. Go Gryffindor. 10 points.
00:33:09
But with you on set, with all of the other Weasleys, it, it just
00:33:14
seems so natural with you guys and and now that you've been
00:33:17
away from the franchise for so long, obviously the twins are in
00:33:20
each other's lives. But are you communicating with
00:33:23
any of your other on screen siblings or or parents?
00:33:26
Yeah, we get to see each other either at events like this.
00:33:30
You get to bake together. We get to bake.
00:33:31
We oh, I didn't get to bake, I just got to judge the baking.
00:33:34
But I if they want me to bake, I will bake.
00:33:36
But yeah, that was fun. I mean, never did I ever think
00:33:39
we were going to have a Harry Potter themed baking show.
00:33:41
I mean, that was never the like hybrid thing I thought was going
00:33:44
to happen. And I love baking.
00:33:47
So it was a very good phone call to be asked to do that.
00:33:50
So that was fun. And I was also in the TV show
00:33:53
they made. I was a guest on their show,
00:33:55
which again, it's them stepping in front of the camera for the
00:33:58
first time, being more of a presenter.
00:34:00
So that was really fun and just having the adventure of
00:34:01
traveling to Iceland, which we did for the episode of that.
00:34:05
And yeah, I feel like for everyone, it's just been so cool
00:34:07
to like see everyone's new chapter and seeing them like
00:34:10
thrive in their own way of the next thing that inherently feels
00:34:14
like really good for them and who they are now.
00:34:18
Like, I think we've all had moments like everyone does in
00:34:20
their 20s when you're like, who am I?
00:34:22
What am I doing? And then you can begin to be
00:34:25
like, OK, I think this is my, like, flow of, of work.
00:34:28
So it's been just really nice, not only my Weasley family, but
00:34:31
to see everyone just really kind of settling into like, what
00:34:34
feels like their true calling. Awesome.
00:34:37
Thank you. Yeah, thanks.
00:34:40
Come on up, come on up. How are you?
00:34:44
I heard that a lot of the kids were scared of the professor.
00:34:48
So were you scared of anyone? Oh, I feel like they, I mean,
00:34:53
some characters that obviously like we were meant to be scared
00:34:57
of, like Snape, for instance. I think Alan had like good fun
00:35:02
knowing that we had that effect on people.
00:35:05
Like I think he did it in like a playful, really loving way in
00:35:08
the sense that he would kind of come up to you and be like,
00:35:11
hello, good morning and you'd like.
00:35:14
And then he'd be like, hey, and then he just like switched that
00:35:17
voice. But for a minute.
00:35:18
He like, I think it probably helped him to like helped his
00:35:22
performance by just kind of like being playful with us.
00:35:25
So that was always fun and took me like quite a few years to be
00:35:28
like, oh, it's like, that's not him, You know, that's not that's
00:35:32
So that was a good learning curve.
00:35:36
And honestly, like Ray finds his performance as Voldemort.
00:35:41
It's so good that to be in a scene next to him is truly
00:35:46
terrifying. Like even by Deathly Hallows
00:35:48
Part 2, I was still like, this is you are actually terrifying.
00:35:53
Like I remember the scene that happens in like the courtyard of
00:35:56
Hogwarts when we think Harry's kind of died and Jenny has that
00:35:59
moment when she kind of runs towards him and he's kind of
00:36:01
giving this whole speech. Like I just remember just being
00:36:05
fully chilled by his performance.
00:36:07
Awesome. Thank you.
00:36:08
Was it Ray that was scary or was it the fact that he had no nose
00:36:12
that was scary? Well, actually they did most
00:36:14
they didn't do he did that was done.
00:36:17
They didn't make a no nose prosthetics because that would
00:36:20
be quite hard to remove the nose.
00:36:23
So he had loads of like dots on his face then like scanned, they
00:36:27
did it afterwards basically. So he's had a nose.
00:36:29
Bro, you don't? Yeah.
00:36:30
Yeah, you know, magic, magic, magic.
00:36:32
What's your? Question magic.
00:36:34
What was the scariest thing that you had to face during filming?
00:36:39
That's a good one. I think like scary in terms of
00:36:46
like performance was probably the Chamber of Secrets because I
00:36:49
was still very young, but I was like the whole Tom Riddle diary,
00:36:54
sort of like possessed by the diary was actually quite an
00:36:56
intense thing for like a 10 year old or 11 year old to do.
00:37:00
So that was quite intense. And we did so many of these
00:37:02
scenes that were kind of like B roll moments of Ginny sort of
00:37:08
like overtaken and then they edited them as a quick kind of
00:37:11
montage. We filmed like a lot more than
00:37:12
you actually see in the film. And I remember there was just
00:37:14
some like weird scenes that we did like, for instance,
00:37:18
obviously she writes all the signs and blood, you know, like
00:37:21
enemy of the air beware and stuff.
00:37:24
So they never showed this, which is probably a good thing.
00:37:26
But they had to scene where I like go into like the Hogwarts
00:37:29
chicken coop and essentially like kill a chicken to get the
00:37:32
blood to write on the walls. And surprisingly, they never put
00:37:36
that in the movie. But I did film that.
00:37:38
I mean, granted, it was a very no, no, no, OK, wait, wait,
00:37:41
backtrack. It was not.
00:37:42
It was very like wide shot me walking in.
00:37:45
It wasn't like me actually killing the chicken, just so you
00:37:48
know. That would have been
00:37:50
traumatized. Animals were harmed.
00:37:51
It's been the most. Traumatizing.
00:37:53
Thing ever like it was like snowing and then we're like OK,
00:37:56
think we've done that scene moving on.
00:37:58
So I don't know who's idea that, but I remember being like, this
00:38:00
is kind of dark, but so that in a sense of character was
00:38:04
challenging. But then sometimes the simplest
00:38:08
kind of more upbeat scenes could be challenging in the sense that
00:38:12
you're having, you know, this real dramatic moment.
00:38:14
You have to kind of really step up to the performance and the
00:38:17
character. And that was always sometimes
00:38:19
really overwhelming because on a set there were hundreds of
00:38:22
people, you know, behind the camera and in front of the
00:38:24
camera. So the energy on the set every
00:38:26
day felt very, you know, intense.
00:38:29
So some days you kind of it didn't mind you and then other
00:38:33
days it kind of caught you by surprise and you could get quite
00:38:35
nervous. Awesome.
00:38:37
Thank you all. Right.
00:38:38
We got to jam through these. We got to get back to signing
00:38:41
autographs about me. Bye, hi.
00:38:44
I wish it was me. Nice.
00:38:45
First off, I've got a book suggestion, Alcatraz versus Evil
00:38:50
Librarians by Brandon Sanderson. Very good series.
00:38:53
OK, OK, yes, you got to check that.
00:38:55
That's mouthful to remember. I will.
00:38:56
Alcatraz against the library. Alcatraz versus the evil
00:38:59
library. Evil library?
00:39:00
Yes, you got to check it out. Any OK?
00:39:02
You might have to stop by your table with that one.
00:39:03
Just what you might have to stop by her desk, her table with one.
00:39:06
I am, and then I've got 2 questions.
00:39:10
So if you were living in the wizarding world, what career
00:39:16
would you would you go for? Yep.
00:39:19
Great. OK, sure he does.
00:39:20
Waiting for this. I lost that one.
00:39:22
You know what, 2, two sides of me, one aspirationally, I want
00:39:29
to be an aura. But like more realistically, you
00:39:32
know, the, the tents that the Weasleys have in the when they
00:39:36
go to the Quidditch World Cup, I want to make those tents like
00:39:41
like those magical tents that you walk into and you have this
00:39:44
like epic. Like I would like one of those.
00:39:47
So I would like to like have a, you know, outdoor Outfitters
00:39:51
like selling those. So you want to do like charms?
00:39:54
Yeah, charms on you just like, I mean, I love to go camping and
00:39:58
be outdoors. So I'm like, if I could have
00:40:00
that, that would be great. So I need to be the person that
00:40:03
makes, you know, those available for all.
00:40:07
And then my second question was, what are your thoughts on on the
00:40:12
new TV show that's going to be made?
00:40:14
I know I'm going to be like you just watching it.
00:40:16
I'm excited to see. I just feel like with a series,
00:40:19
you know, you have like probably 10 hours in one season.
00:40:24
So I just hope like for all of us, we get all these things that
00:40:27
we didn't get to put in a 2 hour long movie.
00:40:29
God, they left so much. I know.
00:40:30
Oh my gosh, I'm so it had to be a hero's journey.
00:40:33
You know, it was Harry's story. But I hope like lots of TV, it
00:40:36
becomes more an ensemble. So I'm going to be just like
00:40:38
you, watching it on my couch at home.
00:40:40
Awesome. Thank you so much.
00:40:41
Thanks so much. We got to jam through this.
00:40:43
So you guys got to ask away what?
00:40:45
Kind of currently to the last one, are there any scenes from
00:40:48
the books that was in the movies that you would have liked to
00:40:51
have either done or have been put in so many?
00:40:55
I mean, from Jenny's perspectives, Quidditch,
00:40:57
obviously as you're in your Quidditch outfit, lots of
00:41:01
Quidditch would make more sense for her and just the development
00:41:04
of her and Harry's relationship. And then there were so many
00:41:09
things too, that obviously my character like wasn't involved
00:41:11
in. And so when we watched the film
00:41:13
for the first time, that was honestly the most fun thing,
00:41:16
like watching all these scenes that you weren't at all like
00:41:19
Privy to, but loved as a fan of the books.
00:41:22
So there were some scenes that I would have loved to have just
00:41:24
like watched and seen as like from a just story perspective.
00:41:30
But there's so much I honestly haven't also, I'll admit, read
00:41:33
the books since we were making the films, so I'm sure if I
00:41:36
reread them, so much would flood through.
00:41:39
So yeah. What is your Quidditch position?
00:41:47
I think I would like to be a seeker because it's pretty, I
00:41:51
mean, I mean, I mean, obviously you get pretty attacked as well,
00:41:54
but the rest of the game is also pretty violent and intense.
00:41:57
I don't really know of any, like via beta or or maybe a cheat.
00:42:01
I don't know, probably just a Seeker, but there'll be a lot of
00:42:04
pressure, you know? But that would be fun.
00:42:08
What about your position keeper? Oh, nice.
00:42:10
OK. That's why I played for soccer.
00:42:12
So. Oh, nice.
00:42:13
OK, cool. Nice.
00:42:14
Thanks. My question is, if out of all
00:42:19
the Weasley brothers, which would you like to have a real as
00:42:23
a real brother? Oh, I can't decide.
00:42:27
It's like I was asked earlier. I can.
00:42:29
I have them all in just one person.
00:42:32
It would be also a lot being having that many brothers as a
00:42:35
little sister. I mean, that would be sure.
00:42:38
There are many days where she didn't like any of them.
00:42:40
Honestly, I don't know. I guess Ron.
00:42:48
Yeah, I think I would choose Ron.
00:42:50
That's the obvious answer. So I'm going to choose Ron.
00:42:54
But thank you for your question. Awesome.
00:42:56
Thank you. All right.
00:42:57
Last question, here we go. My tall mom was wondering if
00:43:01
there were any tall jokes made with you being slightly taller
00:43:05
than Daniel and which one was your favorite?
00:43:09
I didn't really get any jokes, honestly.
00:43:12
I feel like yes, what's that fine line of like joking and
00:43:16
bullying? You know what I mean?
00:43:17
I don't want to. I feel like we can all make up
00:43:21
for it. Like he everyone makes up for it
00:43:23
in their personality. So I don't know.
00:43:24
We were like basically the exact same hike, give or take.
00:43:27
Maybe I was like an inch or 1/2 an inch taller.
00:43:30
And I'm not like obviously I'm not.
00:43:32
I'm quite average in my height. So nothing really.
00:43:35
It's not like Ginny ever wore heels, you know, So nothing
00:43:38
became abnormally strange. So I didn't really get that many
00:43:42
jokes. I mean he, I mean, I hope he
00:43:43
didn't in in other times, but yeah.
00:43:47
Thank you. Thank you.
00:43:48
All right, let's so. We're going to do some wrap up
00:43:50
questions here more. OK.
00:43:52
Just some real quick ones, you know, just kind of first thing
00:43:54
that pops in mind kind of thing. So I'm going to ask you the
00:43:56
hardest question you've ever been asked in your life.
00:43:57
Are you ready for this? OK, It's like, no, absolutely
00:44:01
not. What is your favorite kind of
00:44:03
Taco? Oh, you know, have you ever had
00:44:08
a hibiscus Taco? Whoa, a mica Taco?
00:44:11
No. Yeah, it's really good.
00:44:14
In fact, if you make like a tea, you can just reuse the stewed
00:44:19
tea leaves and make the Taco. Like if you want to be mindful
00:44:23
of finding another life out of your food, you can steep the tea
00:44:28
like the hibiscus flowers, add the sugar later.
00:44:32
Otherwise you'll have kind of like sugary tacos.
00:44:34
And then once you steep the tea you like, get a pan, put some
00:44:37
butter, oil, and you just cook them up with some spices and
00:44:39
it's really good. Nice.
00:44:41
You have the most interesting answer.
00:44:44
Thanks. She's also pescetarian, so I
00:44:45
mean, I knew there's limited answers there, but.
00:44:48
That was, you know, that I feel like that was just like our
00:44:50
local Taco stand that inspired me on that.
00:44:54
They made that and I was like this is amazing.
00:44:56
So I asked them how they made it and it was great.
00:44:58
It's pretty cool. I do have a follow up question
00:45:00
this somebody asked, so we know the new Harry Potter series is
00:45:03
coming to Max. Do you have any advice for the
00:45:06
new young Jenny Weasley? You know what kind of?
00:45:10
Like what you were saying? Like what advice would you?
00:45:13
Give honestly, I wouldn't say anything.
00:45:16
I know that sounds like. I think the beauty for us when
00:45:19
we stepped into those roles is we made them what they were for
00:45:23
us. We didn't like project too far
00:45:26
ahead. We didn't overthink.
00:45:27
I mean like honestly, the beauty of being a nine year old kid is
00:45:31
you are present. You're unaware of too much
00:45:36
judgment or too much worry. Like you're just showing up.
00:45:38
And I think that's a really, really perfect place to show up
00:45:43
to a role. Like, I'm sure they are way more
00:45:46
nervous than we were because when we stepped on to the films,
00:45:49
it was very early in the world of Harry Potter.
00:45:51
So I wouldn't want to like, fill anyone's head with confusing,
00:45:54
conflicting opinions apart from just like to go with what they
00:45:58
trust, not what we think, because we're all wanting a new
00:46:02
interpretation of these characters.
00:46:04
Good. This will be on the Internet, so
00:46:05
hopefully they hear that. OK, good.
00:46:07
No, that's a really good. Answer it is.
00:46:09
It is really good. Discovering who they are.
00:46:11
Yeah, A. New character, he got it.
00:46:12
It's good, you know. It's fine that Bonnie's just
00:46:15
profound. It's his beginning to begin
00:46:17
with. All here.
00:46:17
It's those hibiscus tacos. Yeah, it is the hibiscus tacos
00:46:19
that might just be a matrix. I'm.
00:46:21
Like I'm hungry now. Yeah, again, hard question.
00:46:25
OK, who wins in a fight, Lord Voldemort or Darth Maul?
00:46:32
Lord Voldemort, for sure. I want to stick to, I got to be,
00:46:35
you know, true to my world, even if he is a terrible person.
00:46:41
So what's next for you? What any any projects that are
00:46:44
not under NDA that you can throw out there for everybody?
00:46:48
OK, so yeah, a few things. So I have the show that's coming
00:46:51
out in July and working on another show kind of similar,
00:46:56
but for a much, much, much, much, much younger audience,
00:47:00
being a mom, trying to write a book that I've been working on
00:47:05
for a very long time, which is actually a fiction, which is
00:47:10
fun. So hopefully I'll sit down to
00:47:12
that. Awesome, you have copies of Go
00:47:14
Gently here. I do not.
00:47:16
I did not bring any. I know I used when it first came
00:47:19
out. I used to sometimes bring
00:47:20
copies. But yeah, I got.
00:47:23
I must admit I got lazy. I didn't bring any in my
00:47:25
suitcase. But you can probably go get.
00:47:28
It get it on everywhere, your local bookstore or the global,
00:47:33
you know, Amazon. Yeah, there you go.
00:47:35
So aside from your table over here, where can everybody follow
00:47:38
you, learn more about you, just like, you know, if they want to
00:47:40
follow on all of the profound things that Bonnie Wright is
00:47:44
doing? Yeah, I hope to keep going with
00:47:46
the a profound face. Yeah, I pretty much, you know,
00:47:51
I'm not I'm the millennial. I'm just on Instagram, have
00:47:55
really taken on TikTok very well.
00:47:57
So if you want to find me on Instagram, it's this is be
00:48:00
right. And I pretty much share
00:48:01
everything I'm working on on there.
00:48:06
And yeah, I'll be telling you then when the show's coming out
00:48:09
and all the projects I'm working on.
00:48:10
So just go there. But yeah.
00:48:12
Thank you SO. Much.
00:48:13
Thank you so much. Ladies and gentlemen, please
00:48:15
give a round of applause to Bonnie Wright.
00:48:17
Justin Nerding. The.
