Emma Watson's stand-in unfolds details about shooting a significant 'Harry Potter' scene
Rewritten Article:
Meet Flick Miles, the unsung hero of the Hogwarts universe who masqueraded as none other than Hermione Granger's double in the legendary Harry Potter series. Miles made quite the entrance, changing the game behind the scenes that viewers mistakenly believed were Emma Watson's own.
Miles charmed her way into the Wizarding World when her drama club owner noticed her striking resemblance to Watson. Fast forward to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Miles stepped into the limelight to play Watson’s part when Hermione turned into a feline creature after consuming a Polyjuice Potion.
"It was a slight deviation, but I was more than happy to be part of it," she shared. "Emma offered a subtle reaction to the goopy makeup goods that they used. Working alongside the creature effects team on that scene was an unforgettable experience."
Miles reminisced about the cat-and-mouse game they played to nail Watson's on-screen look. With various colored cats on the table, she talked about the director's preference for a slightly less enchanting gray cat.
"We ran through several presentations, and initially, they had this stunning red and beautiful ginger cat. Director Chris Columbus felt that the character needed a humbler, grayer look," Miles said.
TheGray Lady graced screens in the first three installments of the series before returning for the Yule Ball scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as an extra. After hanging up her cape and wand, Miles embarked on a new adventure, trading magic books for journalist notebooks.
