Page 4 of 4 Jill_Scotland: Hey, what's been the funniest moment while on the POA set this time around? Chris: This would have to be the same as the trickiest scene. It's the scene where we discover the Fat Lady (Dawn French) has been attacked. There's a stage where the whole of Gryffindor House run past me up the marble staircase. Unfortunately, they managed to knock me over more than once! I had bruises for weeks. michaella_smith: I love the Weasley family, but if u could play another character who would it be? Chris: It would probably have had to have been Tom Riddle because he was my favourite character from the books. Alona_L: What was it like to cope with school work during filming? Chris: It was an absolute nightmare. I was doing my A-levels during Chamber Of Secrets and ended up taking my drama exam in my trailer during a break from filming the duelling club. Cathrine_Winterst: Who was the first person on the set that you got to know? Chris: Bizarrely enough it was Emma Watson because on the way to the read through for The Philosophers Stone we were picked up by the same car. She was very, very nervous. Yen_London: Hey, im going now but last question and i hope this gets to u, out of all the Harry Potter books which ones ur favourite? Chris: It was The Chamber Of Secrets, but I think that The Order Of The Phoenix may have beaten it now. james_murphy: Is there one moment that really stands out that u really enjoyed during the filming of hp? Chris: I've loved all of it. The things that really stand out however, are the premiers and the DVD launches. They are done on such a big scale, you suddenly realise how big the movies are. Mart_J: How old are you, boy? Chris: I am 19 until November 8 (hint) Host: Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Cathrine_Winterst: In PoA, do we get to see more of Penelope Clearwater? Chris: Probably not - sadly. Gemma Padley who played Penelope is a good friend now, so it's a shame that we don't see each other as much. Bart_vijfhunderd: What do you think is the most impressive new set they have created? Chris: From what I've seen my favourite would have to be the clock tower as it's quite dangerous. Din_SanDiego: How did you react when you read Percy had changed so much in OOTP? Chris: I was quite excited. As I've already mentioned, I enjoy playing evil characters so it's nice to see Percy going that way. Brittany_Ireland: have you made any long-time friendships with people you have met on the set? Chris: Yes - quite a few. I keep in regular contact with Sean Biggerstaff, who played Oliver Woods and also Gemma Padley. It's a shame neither of them are involved anymore. I'm the oldest 'child' on the set now by quite a few years. manon_zamora: Are you going to College? Chris: At the moment, I'm not sure as I'm contracted to Warner Brothers for an unspecified length of time, I do intend to go at some stage. Host: Sorry folks, that's the last question we have time for. But, by the way Chris, quite a few people in the chat wanted to wish you a happy 20th birthday!!! Thanks for joining us Chris, we had a great time. Any final words before you go? Chris: Yes, Rhubarb! Celery! and Happy Hallowe'en.
