Sylvia_Fujiwara: In Harry Potter yo play Percy the 'I just follow the rules boy', do you cross borders while you were at school?

Chris: My mum taught at the school I went to. I had to behave! I was a prefect at school as well.

Sophie_Scanlon: If you could change one thing about Percy Weasley what would it be?

Chris: Nothing, quite simply! I think he's perfect the way he's written. He's incredibly good fun to play.

Naomi from Los Angeles wants to know: What is the schedule like for one day of filming on the HP set?

Chris: On a busy day, for instance, when we're filming a great hall scene, it starts with being picked up from the hotel at 7am to arrive at the studios at 7.30am. Have breakfast, go into make-up at 8am and onto set at 9.30am. We break for lunch at 12.30pm, are back onto set at 2.30pm and have an afternoon break for 15 minutes and finish work at 7pm if we're lucky :)

Host: Unless there is a webchat here at 大象传媒 Norfolk!

Kim_Sydenham: Mike Newell is directing the next movie, is it weird to keep having new directors?

Chris: I think it's a good thing, it keeps the series fresh and makes each film slightly different to its predecessor.

Patricia_R: If you had a choice to be in any of the Hogwarts' houses, would you still be in Gryffindor?

Chris: Probably, but I wouldn't mind Slytherin.

Gino_Roque: Is your hair really ginger, or is it dyed for the film?

Chris: HOW DARE YOU! My hair is naturally this colour! Hee hee hee!

kathie_Blain: Do you think that they'll have a little bit more of you in the 3rd film because in the books you are metioned a lot more.

Chris: I hope so, but obviously until the final print of the film has been made there's every chance that anything I film could end up on the cutting room floor.

dan_jam: What are the wands made of?

Chris thinks about your questions. Chris spills the beans on the POA shoot

Chris: As far as I know, they're just solid wood in the film, but there's every possibility that they are magic too!

red_jewel: Have you signed up for the Goblet of Fire movie yet?

Chris: Yes and I can't wait! We start in April!

Andrew_Sidhom: What was the funniest part to shoot?

Chris: The burrow scenes were the best. Working with Julie Walters and Mark Williams is hilarious. Sometimes we come off set aching with laughter - literally!

Alona_L: Can you describe the first day in your life of being on set?

Chris: It was terrifying! I remember going into the hair and makeup department and sitting down next to Zoe Wannamaker. It was rather daunting but all the celebs are really really nice so it wasn't a problem after the first couple of days.

Sophie_Scanlon: Is the new Albus Dumbledore like the person who played him before or is he different?

Chris: Well obviously he looks basically the same with a long beard and hair but Michael Gambon has made the character his own. Personally I prefer Michael's portrayal because it's more like the Dumbledore I imagined in the books.

Kim_Sydenham: As an actor what have u learned while shooting Harry Potter?

Chris: It's a job that you have to be really serious about because there is a lot of disappointment. There are more out of work actors in the world than employed ones. So I count myself very lucky.

Host: Don't forget, you can see Chris on our webcam here at 大象传媒 Norfolk. Take a look.

QueenB_SYorkshire: Have any of the other actors played jokes on you while you were filming?

Chris: The twins often swap over and even after three years we're not entirely sure which one is which! It doesn't happen too often.

Sylvia_Fujiwara: What is you favourite film, ever?

Chris: That's a tricky one! I have many favourite films but my all time favourite would probably have to be Mrs Doubtfire.

Smartcat from New South Wales: How does it feel to read about the character you play in the Harry Potter books?

Chris: It's quite intriguing. Especially when there's a new book out and I have to find out if I survive to the end or do something drastic.
