Behind the Scenes
Rupert’s favourite Scene to film:
The actors who play the trio during the Polyjuice transformation to get into the Ministry of Magic met Rupert, Emma and Dan prior to the shoot to copy their mannerisms so they could adopt them for their own scenes.
During filming, Rupert caught the swine flu and had to take off a few days to convalesce. He earned the nickname “Pigboy Heart Attack” for this.
The final scene filmed was the one when they jump into the fireplace when leaving the Ministry of Magic
Rupert had to be sent out by Emma when she shot her kiss with Daniel. Rupert did not have anything to act against when filming the Locket scene.
Rupert revealed that he wore four hairpieces in scenes later on in the film to make his hair look wilder, as it would after being on the run for a few months.
While imitating his walk for the Seven Potters sequence, Dan discovered that Rupert has “a very sexy hip wriggle” when walking
