| | |  National Geographic Kids scans and excerpts
Veritaserum have four scans from the National Geographic Kids Magazine. The scans can be viewed here. Quote: Quidditch Quotes
If the Quidditch scenes look like magic, they are - movie magic, that is. Cameras filmed the actors in front of a giant blue screen as they sat on broomsticks attached to motorized seats. "For some scenes they attached cables and flipped us upside down," says Tom Felton, who plays Malfoy.
The actors didn't need bad weather to film a rainy Quidditch scene. "Between takes they'd dump a load of water on us," says James Phelps, who plays Fred Weasley. Waterproof wetsuits under their clothes kept their bodies warm and dry.
Quote: Snow Day
When Harry pelts Malfoy with snowballs in the wizard village Hogsmeade, he uses "snow" made of an edible coconut mixture similar to cake batter. "It was really slimy and wet," Tom says. "But I pelted Daniel back after the scene."
Quote: Leg Lift
"Stunt guys stood in for the dog and dragged me along the ground by my leg," says Rupert Grint, who plays Ron.
It's also worth noting that Hugo, who played Hagrid's dog Fang in the first three HP movies, is retiring after Azkaban. "The trainers just spoil him rotten," says head animal trainer Gary Gero. Hugo feasted on treats like McDonald's hamburgers and spaghetti.
Quote: Argus Filch
The watchful Hogwarts caretaker has alot in common with the all-seeing Greek monster Argus, who had 100 eyes.
Quote: Buckbeak the Hippogriff
Hagrid's pet is half-bird, half-horse. But way before HP, a 1516 poem called a half-eagle, half-horse creature a hippogriff.
Quote: Daniel Radcliffe
If he could magically travel back in time he'd...
See the 1970's punk rock era.
Other HP role he'd like to play...
Sirius Black
Star he'd like to meet...
Cameron Diaz
Quote: Emma Watson
If she could magically travel back in time she'd...
Relive the Spice Girls craze.
Other role in HP she'd like to play...
Malfoy
Animal she'd transform into...
A moth "To sneak into Orlando Bloom's house."
Quote: Rupert Grint
If he could magically travel back in time he'd...
Check out the 1970's
Other HP role he'd like to play..
Malfoy
Animal he'd transform into...
A spider "To cure my fear of them."
Quote:
Daniel Radcliffe says he shares a special bond with Gizmo, the snowy owl in all three films. "Gizmo lets me hold her now," Radcliffe says, "She trusts me."
Quote:
The secret to getting Ripper the bulldog to hang off the leg of a floating Uncle Vernon is a squeaky ball tucked inside his pants.
Quote:
To make Ron's pet (played by six rats) look ill, trainers used clear gell to clump their fur. Then they shaved bald spots on their heads.
Quote:
Scabbers and the three red persians that played Hermione's cat, Crookshanks were trained to run forward toward food for their chase scenes. A mesh wire separated the animals as they ran parallel to each other. "The wire would stop Crookshanks if he really decided to try and eat Scabbers," Gero says.
Quote:
Filch's creepy cat - played by three Maine coon cats - got it's mangy look from leftover fur collected from local cat groomers. The fur was attached with stretchy bands.
Quote: James & Oliver Phelps
If they could magically travel back in time they'd...
James: Watch Gladiators
Oliver: Hang out during the Industrial Revolution
Other HP role they'd like to play...
James: Dementor
Oliver: Voldemort
Quote: Tom Felton
If he could travel magically travel back in time he'd...
Face a dinosaur.
Animal he'd transform into...
A carp, "Because it leads a stress free life."

Hehe, Emma has the right idea, I'd try to go into Orlando Bloom's house too! Lol. And that 'snow' mixture sounded quick tasty to me lol. But then again, that's because I love coconut cake!

Very intersting, I agree with Emma it'd be really great to be a moth and sneak into Orlando Bloom's house  *sigh* who wouldn't want to be in there?. To relive the Spice Girls craze would be cool too, I liked the Spice Girls.
Cool.... Rupert wants to go back to the 70's, I wouldn't mind to go back to the 70's with him to give him some company . I think that a Rupert spider would be the only way I'd ever want Rupert away from me, I hate spiders....
A dinasour????? Tom should spend some time away from fishing lol

awesome interview! Emma is right about turning into moth, but i'd have to use it to sneak into Dan's house instead!! he's sooo hot!! and onto the set of GOF!! definitely!
relive the Spice Girls craze...lol, i was a spice girls fan too, don't know if i'd wanna relive that though lol.
i'd want to travel back to the 1960s-like 1964 on, so could go on the set of Bewitched and meet Elizabeth Montgomery  she's the best actress ever! and that show rocks!!
anyway, cool about the animals, nice to know how that's done

That was very interesting, but Tom has made himself sound very boring. Hen seems obsessed with fishing! It maybe stress free to be a carp, until someone like Tom, catches you on their hook! If Rupert wants to cure his fear of spiders, he should try that hypnotist bloke of the telly, can't remember his name, he can cure people of any phobia.
