They have already filmed the Gilderoy Lockhart book signing scene at Flourish and Blotts for the HARRY POTTER TV series

« Katherine Parkinson and I play the Weasley parents, and to my mind, she’s one of the best actors in the world. She’s phenomenal. The other day it was me, her, Kit Harington and Johnny Flynn. It was just fun. »

- Rafe Spall for Deadline

[Wizarding World Direct @WW_Direct]

Rafe Spall said he has ‘never seen production values like it’ while talking about the HARRY POTTER TV series

« It’s funny that my dad played Ron’s rat and now I’m playing Arthur Weasley. The other day I was on set and Ron’s rat was there. I took a photograph next to it. If I had social media, I would post it. »

Johnny Flynn talked about portraying Lucius Malfoy in HBO's HARRY POTTER and the Philosopher's Stone with Deadline:

"There's a lot more scope in the series to play with nuance, because obviously the films are only 2 hours versus 10 hours of TV. There's the opportunity to pull out different shades."

"The kids are amazing. The guy, Lox Pratt, playing Draco, my son, is just fantastic and such a lovely guy, despite being Draco Malfoy"
