Taking wand.

(Film 3)

Take 1: As Dan reaches around Emma to take the wand out of her pocket in the Shrieking Shack he pinches her bottom before taking the wand out. Her eyes widen as she feels it but she doesn't say anything. Rupert, on the bed at eye level sees it and acknowledges it and pulls Emma towards him so hard that she stumbles and falls onto him. She lets out a shriek as she falls and Dan stares at Rupert as though he will kill him, preferably sooner rather than later.

Director: Cut! Not so hard please Rupert.

Take 2: Dan does it again. Rupert openly glares at him for being so unsubtle. Once Cut is called Emma slaps Dan's shoulder making both boys laugh.

Take 8: Once again Dan pinches her bottom. By now Emma has had enough. Disregarding the fact that the cameras are running she turns and shoves him away from her before shouting at him for being a berk. The director comes up to him and starts shouting at him as well for ruining the takes. Rupert, who like in the films is Dan's best friend, gives him a look to say that he will have words with him later. While he is waiting for everyone to stop shouting at Dan he cleans his fingernails with his thumb.

Dan: (once everyone is finished. To Rupert.) Way to lend a hand mate.

Rupert: Meh, I try.

Dan makes a gesture like he would very much like to strangle him when the director calls Action and the gesture is caught on camera.

Hugging Dan 2

(Film 4)

Emma: Harry? Is that you?
Dan: Yeah.
Emma: How are you feeling? The key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to...
Dan: Battle a dragon.

They hug. The next moment Rupert bursts into the tent yelling (in character)

Rupert: What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Dan and Emma look at him in surprise and then all of them in the tent (including Stanislav, Clemence and Robert) crack up laughing.

Dan: Classic!

In fact Dan, Rupert and Emma can't stop laughing for twenty minutes.

Kissing Harry.

(Film 4)

After the second task Emma kisses Dan on the top of the head and Rupert, just behind him, scowls and then hits Dan round the back of the head and slaps Emma gently.

His excuse is:

Rupert: It's what Ron would do.

Punching Malfoy 2

(Film 3)

Take five: As Emma punches Tom, Dan and Rupert cheer and high five each other. Tom glares at them briefly before running off. Emma turns to them.

Emma: That felt good.

Rupert: Not good, you were bloody marvellous. Just like you were last night! (winks suggestively, Dan looks disbelieving)

Then they all crack up.

Rupert: Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Emma: Did you have to bring up last night?

Dan: It's TRUE?!

Emma: (Guilty) No.

Dan glares at her and then at Rupert.

Dan: Dude, we had a deal.

Emma: What deal?

Dan: Um, nothing.

Rupert: About you. We said I'd-

Dan quickly gets him into a headlock and marches him a little way off where Dan starts berating Rupert whilst pummelling him a little.

Tom is heard in the background sniggering. Emma sinks onto the ground laughing with a few tears rolling out. The director runs onto the set waving his arms around.

Director: Cut! Cut! Cut! Come back boys! Yes you too Felton. Let's do it again, shall we? And this time stick to the script. Kids, please keep your private lives off the screen, remember your contracts. No on screen romance! Same thing only better, please!

As the director turns and walks back to his chair the four kids stick the middle finger up at him, Rupert not even looking up from the headlock, and then the fingers disappear and they act innocent when the sniggering of the producer makes the director spin round to glare at them. The director knows full well what they have just done and does not look impressed.

Rescuing Hermione.

(Film 1)

Take one: Dan and Rupert burst into the bathroom to save Hermione from the CG troll and the doors bounce back and hit them in the faces. Rupert swears and Dan and Emma look at him in surprise, it being a new word and all.

Director: CUT! Rupert they're innocents.

Rupert: Technically so am I.

Director: Whatever.

Take three: The boys trip as they run and fall over. Emma is seen under the rubble pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head as though to say what idiots boys are.

Take seven: The two boys get rather tired of redoing the same shot over and over again. Dan grins before the director calls action and whispers something to Rupert…who also grins mischievously.

Director: Action!

The boys pause before

Dan: Three, two… one!

The boys burst into the room.

Dan/Rupert: Nanananananaaaaaa BATMAN! Nanananananananaaaaa BATMAN! (Batman theme song…not sure I got the right amount of na's)

Everyone bursts out laughing, even Emma trapped under some rubble is heard hooting with laughter.

Ron's Robes

(Film 4)

Take one: Rupert stands in front of the mirror examining the horrible dress robes. Dan comes in and Rupert turns to him.

Pause.

Which then becomes an even longer pause.

Dan glances at the producer, who points to Rupert and motions for him to go over to him. Dan does so and looks Rupert up and down and then looks him strait in the eye.

Dan: (Completely seriously) Go naked.

Rupert's mouth twitches as he attempts to restrain a smile.

Dan: I'm serious.

Rupert: You'd like that wouldn't you?

Dan tilts his head to one side and stares at him… and then the realisation hits him. Rupert cannot restrain himself any longer. He guffaws loudly and Dan has to laugh too.

Director: What happened?

Dan: I forgot my lines.

Rupert: Me too.

Director: That's what I thought.

Producer: Nice improv though.

Confronting Malfoy

(Film 4)

Take one: Dan marches up to Tom and then stops in front of him. He blinks rather stupidly.

Pause.

Dan: Damn! I forgot my line!

Take two: Dan marches up having checked a script.

Dan: I don't care what your father thinks, Felton. He's vile and- damn it! Not again!

Tom: You forgot your line again, didn't you?

Filch's running.

(Film 4)

Take one: David runs up the aisle during the feast and since no one knew what was going to happen…everyone laughed because he looked so ridiculous. David rolls his eyes at the hall in general and goes back to do it again.

Take two: everyone tries not to laugh and those that do try and hide it…unsuccessfully. Then Dan and Rupert ruin it and roar with laughter. David glares at them and heads back down the aisle.

Take five: David is now getting seriously out of breath, but like a true professional he runs up again. Sniggers come from hall.

David: Fuck it! I can't do this. You can get the younger actors to run up and down like idiots but in case you hadn't noticed I'm an old man.

Director: Have a rest and I'll see if we can't edit out the laughs. Lets just get the chat with

Michael and then you can rest.

Take six: David runs the last few steps up to Michael and mutters incoherently to him.

Michael: That running will make this film worth watching, you know?

Director: Cut! Take your break.

In the end it was decided to use one of the sniggering takes and reverse another one for the reverse shot and running back down the hall.

Wingardium Leviosa.

(Film 1)

Take two: Rupert's character is attempting to cast the levitation spell. Rupert starts hitting the feather with the wand and he lets go if it by accident. It flies off and hits the director in the head. Trying not to get angry with him the director picks it up and returns it to Rupert who is looking very guilty. Emma, next to him tries not to laugh at him…which is more than Dan does, he is chuckling away a few seats down from them.

Rupert: It's not funny!
