Harry Potter Star's Kids Discover Magic
21 Nov
Summary
- Oliver Phelps wants his daughters to discover Harry Potter independently.
- He fondly recalls filming the Quidditch World Cup scene as a highlight.
- Phelps finds watching his younger self on screen amusingly cringe-worthy.
Actor Oliver Phelps, who portrayed George Weasley, is navigating his daughters' introduction to the Harry Potter world. He prefers they discover the magic organically, rather than being pressured into fandom. While his eldest, eight, is aware of the franchise, his youngest recently had a humorous realization about his role on the Hogwarts Express.
Phelps reflects fondly on his time on set, citing the Quidditch World Cup scene from 'Goblet of Fire' as a personal favorite. He recalls emulating the energy of football terraces for the filming, which proved to be an incredibly fun experience. Another cherished memory is his first appearance on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
Despite some embarrassment watching his high-pitched voice from early films, Phelps acknowledges the significant impact the Harry Potter series has had on his family's life. The films continue to be a source of joy, both for revisiting memories and for his children's nascent discovery of the wizarding world.
