| | |  Oliver Phelps talks Harry Potter actors & football
Actor Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) has been contributing lately to a blog for the Aston Villa Football Club, during which he talks about various Harry Potter co-stars' and crew members interest in the football (soccer) team - or rather, their preference for others. 
Oliver wrote on October 23rd: Quote:
While doing promotion for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the cast visited various cities around Europe for premieres and media appearances.
In our down time we were shown around different football grounds, which was great fun.
They will certainly pose a real threat for the Villa tonight. However, if the guys can perform as they have for much of the season, I fancy their chances.
I attempted to talk my brother James into coming to the match with me and my mates tonight to sample some European football. Being a Blues fan he declined my offer. Shame that.
Quote:
There are plenty of other members of the Harry Potter cast who are Villa fans - most notably David Bradley who plays Argus Filch in the series.
As he has a season ticket in the lower Holte and I have one in the upper we sometimes pass each other at the Holte End gates.
Quote:
Alfie Enoch, who plays Dean Thomas, has also become a Villa fan in recent years after a school pal took him to a match. And the on-set art director Steve Swain is a huge claret and blue fanatic too.
He also discussed the Emirates Return and the UEFA Cup, which can be read here and here.  | |

It's football in this instance, given that the person talking about it calls it that.

Anyways yay for George! Oliver blogging!
I think it's funny that he sees David Bradley at games and such.....he doesn't strike me as being a big football/soccer fan. But he was funny in Hot Fuzz!

For some reason, this made me crack up.
