Arthur Weasley's 'Dark Side' & Chinese Trains

The actor known for playing Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films reminisced about his time on set, cherishing the work and conversations with fellow actors like Michael Gambon and Richard Griffiths, who were renowned storytellers. He maintains contact with cast members who played 'dark side' characters, such as Nick Moran and Jason Isaacs, rather than those who portrayed his on-screen children. He also shared an amusing anecdote about discovering his accountant and a high court judge working as extras on the Ministry of Magic set.

Reflecting on his diverse career, he noted his roles in Doctor Who and Father Brown, while expressing no desire for superhero parts. He values collaborations with directors like Hugh Laurie and costume designers, appreciating bespoke creations. His interest extends to industrial history and maritime culture, and he dreams of riding China's advanced maglev trains, suggesting their adoption in the UK. He also humorously recalled his catchphrases being used unexpectedly by a train driver.
