author JK Rowling.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nThere used to be a lot of \u201cwaiting around\u201d on the set of the movies, which were in theaters between 2001 and 2011.\u00a0The Phelps twins often hung out in Rupert Grint\u2019s dressing room, and one day they made a \u201ccrossbow, to play darts with.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re lining up this crossbow\u2026.just as JK Rowling stuck her head around the door to say hello. We\u2019re like \u2018hello!\u2019 just as the dart goes into the dartboard,\u201d Oliver told The Post. \u201cShe went, \u2018I\u2019ll come back later.\u2019 At the time, we were like, \u2018It\u2019s the boss! What are we gonna do?\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James quipped that they could say they were \u201ctrying to channel\u201d the spirit of the troublemaking Fred and George.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several of their former \u201cPotter\u201d co-stars also joined them to guest judge on Season 2 of \u201cWizards of Baking,\u201d including Afshan Azad (who played Padma Patil), Devon Murray (who played Seamus Finnigan), and Warwick Davis (who played professor Flitwick and Griphook).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was nice catching up with these guys we\u2019ve known since we were kids,\u201d said James.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But, that made for an amusing moment when Azad came to guest on the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve always had a very hard banter with each other,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd when we saw each other for this, we\u2019re like, \u2018Are we nice to each other now, or should we carry on?\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They \u201ccarried on\u201d by mocking each other, until a concerned producer intervened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the producers was like, \u2018just making sure everything\u2019s okay?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018yeah, it\u2019s just the way we talk to each other!\u2019 It\u2019s like old friends from college or high school. You just pick up where you left off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we played golf with Tom Felton a couple of weeks ago,\u201d said James.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately\u201d they won\u2019t be in New York to catch Felton\u2019s Broadway debut, as he\u2019s reprising the role of Draco Malfoy<\/a> onstage in \u201cHarry Potter and the Cursed Child.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve seen the show before, and I know he\u2019s going to have a great time doing it. Good luck to him,\u201d said Oliver.\u00a0\u201c[The bond with the cast is] one of those things like people in school, where you dip in and out. It\u2019s just funny, when we do it, it\u2019s in public. People are looking. That\u2019s the only difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weasleys\u2019 Wizard Wheezes has new treats.\u00a0 \u201cHarry Potter\u201d stars James and Oliver Phelps, who played mischievous twins Fred…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,186,13242,9346,16829,206,604,1505,92,19278],"class_list":["post-263030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-exclusive","tag-food-network","tag-harry-potter","tag-jk-rowling","tag-movies","tag-reality-tv","tag-television","tag-tv","tag-twins"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
