Return to a cult scene
Emma Watson’s body double recently revealed behind the scenes of a cult scene. Flick Miles was indeed Hermione Granger’s figure stand-in in the first three films. Harry Potter. She therefore participated in many scenes alongside Emma Watson. She also returned to her experience and more particularly to a sequence of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban. During an interview with Scottish Daily ExpressFlick Miles shared behind the scenes of the sequence where Hermione punches Malfoy in the third film of the license.
She thus declared that she had “never punched before in his life”specifying that no body contact took place on the face of Tom Felton (Malfoy):
It was probably cut in the edit because my punching really sucked. They just kept Emma’s. I am a truly non-violent person. I’ve never thrown a punch before in my life and the team told me to go for it, so you’re in “oh okay” mode. It’s such a beautiful scene, isn’t it? Emma also shot this scene. It happens all the time, we both film a scene and they edit it together. Our hands didn’t connect to his face, it was more like a pass to him and he did the reaction. Tom is a great actor so he found it funny too. Malfoy is a great character, and completely different from what Tom looks like in real life, he’s such a lovely person, so I think he was kind of happy that the character was put in his place a bit too .
Flick Miles went on to say that shooting this scene was a very funny experience because it’s a key moment in the plot where Hermione finally fights back. The understudy went on to sell the dream saying it was absolutely awesome to handle the saga’s props. Harry Potter like Hermione’s wand.
