is here and some of the BTS tea he’s dropped about the franchise has left me howling like a mandrake. From furious masturbating on-set to ‘s involvement with ‘s broomstick, no stone has been left unturned. Given the fact Felton played the iconically bitchy Draco Malfoy in the franchise, it’s exactly the type of earth-shattering gossip I expected to read. Let’s dive in, shall we? Oh, you thought I meant a human was jacking off like their life depended on it on-set? Silly me! According to Felton, wankgate happened while the gang was filming a scene from  , when Professor McGonagall was teaching a transfiguration lesson. There were loads of animals on-set, like monkeys, birds and snakes, as well as a “rather ill-mannered baboon”. Felton said the horny baboon was “unaware of the niceties of social interaction and set etiquette,” and in particular, “he was unaware of what behaviour is appropriate to exhibit in front of a bunch of kids”. “Which is my roundabout way of saying that we had to cope with the distracting intrusion of a self-pleasuring primate during the filming of the scene.” Apparently several takes were deemed unusable ‘cos the baboon was going feral knocking one out in the background. “You can imagine the chaos that ensued each time one of us kids saw what was happening out of the corner of our eye and shouted, ‘Oh my God, look at that baboon!'” Felton said. I absolutely can believe the pandemonium that would’ve broken out on set. I wish I was there, if I’m honest. We’re talking about an actual broomstick here and not a penis. Mind out of the gutter, people! Apparently, the Quidditch scenes were filmed in a studio against blue or green screens so the fun background could be added digitally in post-production. Felton said the broomstick was a “metal pole fitted with a deeply uncomfortable bike saddle” with “stirrups for your feet and a harness to stop you falling”. Sounds a bit like a wizard-y bucking bull. He said all the actors had to look in the right direction so the shot looked authentic. To keep their line of sight consistent, crew members would hold up a tennis ball on a long pole with orange tape wrapped around it. “Sometimes there would be more than one tennis ball up there, and as one looked very much like another, after a while they gave us more individual objects to stare at,” Felton said. “We chose pictures of something or somebody close to our hearts. Daniel Radcliffe had a picture of a particularly beautiful Cameron Diaz.” As he should, I say. Fishing-fan Felton “chose a picture of an even more beautiful carp” in case you were wondering. Get this man fishing on , STAT. Felton said he, Radcliffe and  — who played Albus Dumbledore in the and both  films — would enjoy “a breath of fresh air” together. “A breath of fresh air”? I think you mean smoko, bruv. According to  of , Felton and Gambon would actually share a smoke between takes of Dumbledore’s death scenes. Obviously, this means they were choofing a ciggie in costume, which is a mildly iconic mental image. Look, this one made me cringe into absolute fucking oblivion. In , Felton said  — who played wolf daddy Sirius Black — was so humble and normal-looking on-set that he thought he was a cleaner. Respect your elders, young man! “There were certain actors on the set who you’d never really recognise out of character, even though they were absolute legends,” Felton said. “They just looked — and I mean this in the nicest possible way — like slightly scruffy older men.” He said  (Garrick Ollivander) and (Argus Filch) were blokes who fit such ragamuffin descriptions. “I was on set one day when I saw another slightly scruffy older bloke wearing an old pair of jeans and a T-shirt,” Felton continued. “I’d occasionally seen him around and I thought he was one of the cleaning staff. What can I say? He just had that look.” Don’t try and double down on this one, Draco. Felton said he even complimented this “slightly scruffy older bloke” outside the Great Hall by squeaking his shoes on the polished floor, fanging a thumbs-up and saying “Top work, mate!” If there’s one thing Gary Oldman is known for, it’s his floor-shining abilities. Felton later learned the man was, in fact, a veteran actor and not a cleaner. Absolute egg on the face moment. , Felton finally confessed in  that he had a “secret love” for . The sky is blue, water is wet, et cetera. He said he and Watson “definitely nursed crushes” on each other but like two ships in the night, it happened “at different times”. Watson wrote the forward for Felton’s memoir and said the pair are “soulmates” and share “one of the purest loves I can think of”. Obviously, it’s all platonic. Sure, Jan. Sirius Black played a ‘yuge role in Harry Potter’s life, so it’s no surprise that Daniel Radcliffe and Gary Oldman fostered a similarly powerful relationship on-set. Felton said he and some cast and crew members were “a bit jealous of that bond” the actors shared. “Just as Sirius became a father figure to Harry, I had the sense that Gary became something of an inspiration for Daniel, helping him to navigate the tricky path of growing up in the spotlight as well as hone his acting skills,” Felton said. “They seemed to me to share a very similar sense of humour and approach to the other cast and crew. I think some of us — myself included — were a bit jealous of that bond. “We could see that, in part thanks to Gary’s influence, Dan was really starting to learn the craft better than any of us. Who better to have on your side in that respect than Gary Oldman?” Laughing on the set of comes with a hefty price, folks. (bit of an unfortunate name, if I’m honest) directed and , and the bloke had a system on-set to stop child actors from ruining scenes. “Any time one of us disturbed a take, we were given a red card,” Felton said. “A red card meant you had to put £10 into a bag and, at the end of the shoot, all the money was donated to charity. It was a good plan to keep us on the straight and narrow, but it didn’t always work.” He claimed ‘s on-set antics saw him clock up a tidy sum in fines. “I believe he put in over £2,500 during the first two films alone, such was his inability to control himself when the giggles hit,” he said. Look, when you’ve got to laugh, you have to let it out. Better out than in, as Shrek famously said. Who knew the  franchise was plagued by so many randy animals? While this nugget of goss didn’t necessarily happen on-set, Felton said Grint spent his  cheques on some bloody stupid shit. Relatable, if I’m being honest. Apparently Grint — whom Felton nicknamed the “Ginger Ninja”, which is a choice — bought two llamas, which fucked and sucked each others’ brains out and had 14 babies. The more you know! Felton said when he was 14 he tried to steal a DVD of an “adult nature” from an HMV, which is essentially Bri’ish JB Hi-Fi. He wasn’t very good at stealing though ‘cos he was caught and the store put his photo up. Awky porky pudding and pie for any young actor, methinks. Well, there you have it. Enough gossip to keep you going until comes out of the woodwork to support the transphobic old bag ! If you want to read more salacious wizard gossip, you can suss in all its glory.
