Megan: Who are you going to have to bribe to be on set the day Emma and Rupert have to kiss, because EVERYONE, cast and crew, are dying to see it
Matt: I don't think even God is gonna manage to get onto that set.
Megan: haha, yea its gonna be crazy
Matt: It'll be all closed up and locked down. I'd go down and watch, and I wonder if I could blag my way on. I wouldn't want to though. I know I'd be uncomfortable with everyone around watching, so I'll leave em to it!
Megan: Yea, thats very true. I would not want someone watching me kiss, must be really awkward to see it on screen too
Matt: No doubt!
Megan: What are the best and worst experiences you've had on the Potter set?
Matt: Erm, that cricket ball in the groin wasn't exactly the best experience!
Matt: haha
Megan: haha yea i would say not
Matt: Erm, I've not really had bad experiences
Megan: well thats good then
Matt: Sometimes, when you can't get a line right, no matter how hard you try, that can be really frustrating, it's not so much a bad experience, it's just really annoying and everyone on the set is so dedicated and they all strive for perfection, you really don't want to let anybody down!
Matt: Best experiences are when we get all the cool makeup on, for fight scenes etc. and we're running around being Tom Cruise, it's wicked.
Megan: while we are on the subject of the set, haha What is Rupert's game room like, everyone says it’s really awesome!? Have you actually seen Emma beat Dan and Rupert at ping-pong? Have you ever played against her?
Matt: Rupert's got a pretty good room. Table tennis, darts, pool.
Megan: that would be so fun!
Matt: It's definitely the place to be if you're bored or you wanna wind down
Megan: haha yea i'd imagine
Matt: Now I remember Emma used to be pretty pro at table tennis
Matt: hers and Tom Felton's games used to be epic, the thing of legend.
Megan: haha thats soo awesome
Matt: Dan spends a lot of time practising though, I don't think Ems could beat him now. I'd like to see the matchup though.
Megan: What kind of things do you do to pass the time when he's not wanted on set? Tom mentioned having jam sessions, do you join in?
Matt: Well I started playing about 6 months ago, so I've not had chance to jam with Tom yet, but he's incredible, I've watched him on youtube. His melodies and lyrics are quality, I'll definitely be jamming with him this year, if he'll let me!
