The pair also opened up about the moment they realised that they were famous. Oliver said: “We did a premiere in Finland and 3,000 people rocked up to see us going into a cinema which was just crazy! […] It’s cool playing good guys, Fred and George, as people see us as very approachable, which is cool.” 

The exhibition is now open

Chatting about the exhibition, which includes plenty of interactive fun including taking a broomstick trip, being snapped as a ministry official and enjoying bottled Butterbeer, James said: “It’s literally like walking down memory lane… I forgot how many lights there were to light the stage, but because these are all behind-the-scenes, you can see that!” 

The Harry Potter Photographic Exhibition, including the bottled Butterbeer Bar, is open from 12 July. Tickets are available to purchase now at www.harrypotteronlocation.co.uk and must be booked in advance.
