During the reunion, the British actor also got candid about his kissing scene in the film and how his life has always been connected to Harry Potter films. He stated, "I’ll always be happy to talk about it. … Again, I think people expect me not to want to talk about it; but that’s like somebody never talking about their childhood or their teenage years. Every part of my life is connected to Potter and to Leavesden. My first kiss is connected to someone here, my first girlfriends were here."
