Although a series of books and films about the famous wizard Harry Potter have long come to an end, fans of the amazing world created by Joan Rowling continue to re-read their favorite pages and review the most interesting fragments of the epic. So, many liked the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the actors in which represent already matured students of Hogwarts.
While many fans of the fascinating Harry Potter story are well aware of the "advanced" actors - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Green, Emma Watson, only some of them are interested in the real life of other participants in the sensational project. Readers are offered truthful facts from the biographies of the actors who starred in the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Twin Actors Oliver and James Phelps
It is believed that the famous British were incredibly lucky: during the selection of the cast for the first film about Harry Potter, the Phelps twins were just the right age, gender, physique and appearance. Although both young men have always been interested in theater and cinema, they probably would never have hit the big screen if it hadn't been for amazing luck.
Oliver Phelps was born 13 minutes earlier than his twin brother, on February 25, 1986, in Birmingham. Already in elementary and high school, he began to clearly differ from James in nuances of character: while the younger brother was always serious and always hardworking, the older one preferred easy communication and parties to work.
It is also interesting that the twins are not really red, their hair is of a normal blond shade, without a single hint of the copper color, which has become a symbol of the Weasley family. Remembering the shootings, Oliver Phelps notes that regular tinting of the hair roots did not cause much trouble, however, both brothers could not stand the process of discoloration of the eyebrows.
Following the example of characters
Having become accustomed to the legendary roles, the Phelps twins often arranged for the film crew pranks worthy of Fred and George Weasley themselves . Sometimes their jokes were completely harmless - no one was offended, for example, if the brothers "changed" names, misleading the interlocutors. However, things were more serious in those cases when whole duplicates turned out to be corrupted due to the substitution of twins. The film crew soon found out that Oliver had a mole on his neck on the right side, and this fact prevented further rallies.
Behind Draco Malfoy
Few people paid attention to them, but over the course of six episodes of the film epic, blonde Draco Malfoy was relentlessly followed by his best friends and part-time “bodyguards” Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. With these characters, almost nothing happened until the events of the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Actors, however, led a very eventful life.
Josh Herdman, who played Gregory Goyle, was born on September 9, 1987 in Hampton. Although his acting career has not yet developed, the young man excels in his personal life: he married early enough and brings up a son named Morgan. According to Josh, he took over the desire for cinema from his father, Martin Herdman, an actor and professional rugby player. Three older brothers, oddly enough, did not follow the example of the head of the family.
Joshua Herdman is almost entirely satisfied with the role that he got in the plot of Harry Potter, however, according to him, portraying a bully was quite difficult.
He is currently involved in scripting and short films, as well as amateur boxing.
Vincent Crabbe
After filming the film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the actors became unwitting witnesses of the scandal: the young man who received the role of the second bully from Slytherin, Vincent Crabbe, was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for active participation in the riots.
Jamie Walett was born on July 21, 1989 in London. Perhaps his face is even more recognizable than the image of Gregory Goyle, however, due to the criminal prosecution and conviction, Jamie had to interrupt his acting career, and the actions of his character in the last film of the film story were performed by Goyle. Prior to the execution of the sentence in 2012, Waylett successfully participated in the creation of video games for the Harry Potter Universe, where he voiced Vincent Crabbe.
