Dame Maggie Smith gets the giggles on GoF set
 

Digital Spy has a short piece on Dame Maggie Smith, Professor McGonagall in the Potter films, briefly discussing filming for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Thanks to Mugglenet for the tip!

That's great, once you know the actors are having fun, you know it's goign to be a great movie :)

lol! marvellous!

:lol: well Im glad she is enjoying herself

Lol thats funny! I don't know how actors can keep a strait face in a funny scene even if they do it 10 times!

I imagine that it would be pretty funny to work on any movie involving special effects. It's like, "Look over here... that's a boy. Now, quick -react! The elf is hitting himself with a lamp!"

^lol yeh

Awesome! It sounds like everyone is having a blast!

Ah the power of humor..enough to halt the filming of a highly-anticipated movie.

Gasp! what a smutty sense of humour she has :D

That looks likw fun.
It be cool to be on the set.

lol sounds funny. but whats a berk?

hmm i dont understand what shes laughin about maybe its that dry english humor
i can never really put together their ads on tv i dont know when its supposed to be funny i dont think id blend in very well on a set like that when everyones laughing and you dont get the joke
the only perosn who can make me laugh is me i know its kinda sad but laughin is contagious
maybe they spiked the tea ;)

Yea, I imagine it would be hard to not start laughing while you are following around a tennis ball on a stick. I bet the actors are having a great time, espically with all the special effects that are going into this movie.

I would love to work with them!!! Sounds so fun!!!

^^^ I know it would be great! I don't really get it either but *shrugs* maybe its something you ahve to experience or be there for.

That's good to know... thanks! :sorcerer:

Great! It just proves that its going to be a great film!

I want Maggie Smith to be my friend!!! It sounds like she has the same sense of humour as me - one that makes people go "I can't believe you!"

*claps hands*

I'm glad they're all having fun making the films though...

It's British slang for 'idiot' or 'baffoon'.

The joke is having to imagine a dragon there or being told "You see that green screen? Yeah well, it's not a green screen, it's a big scary dragon. OK. And it's coming after Harry. OK, now, action!!"

Seriously, who could do that with a straight face?!

*dies laughing* I think I'm the only one who read that the same as you did Oob!

The joke you other guys thought of was funny 2, but wasn't my immediate thought. Which was something like 'can they really post that on here'. It's indeed very smutty!

I thought of the same joke as you....

Oh the horror the horror!!! I'm going to go and seriously give my mind a good cleaning!!! :blush:

I get it now..like that song 'Gravel pit'. I wouldn't put it past her but I haven't associated smutty with Maggie before.
