Ezra Miller, who plays the mysterious Credence in the upcoming
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film, revealed himself to be probably one of the biggest
Harry Potter fans to come out of the Wizarding World movie series - maybe even up there with Evanna Lynch.
Miller discussed how seriously he took the official Hogwarts Sorting on Pottermore - so much so that he has yet to take it in fear that he may be placed into Slytherin rather than his desired Gryffindor. Much more on that, as well as the day he met author J.K. Rowling, can be read below.
Quote:
Ezra Miller: ‘I respect the sorting process and I’m so on board with Pottermore - you guys are like Dumbledore’s Army, keeping it all alive. I know the Sorting [Ceremony] was written by J.K. Rowling, but I still can’t risk it. What if I get Slytherin? I couldn’t live with myself. I need to be in Gryffindor. If I didn’t get Gryffindor, I wouldn’t know who I was anymore.’
‘I guess I just can’t accept a sorting unless it’s by Helga Hufflepuff or Godric Gryffindor directly. I can’t take it unless it’s signed off by all four founders of Hogwarts. I mean, J.K. Rowling is all four founders of Hogwarts in a way, isn’t she? She’s all of them. But I certainly can’t think about that too much. Especially not when I meet her. It’s too much, I’ve spent too much of my life caring about it.’
On meeting J.K. Rowling on the set of
Fantastic Beasts:
Quote:
‘Meeting her was unreal. I had so many questions. Talking to the person who created the world I’ve spent so much time in...it just didn’t feel real.’
‘She whispered a few secrets about Credence’s future in my ear. I won’t be able to talk about it for so long.’
