On the flipside of this, the cast don't feel like they are giving rehearsed answers but this is not a good thing.

This surprised me because I expected it to be a lot more flowing. It isn't all Newell's fault (he does try) but generally parts of the short do feel stiff and false – the worse part is the questions from the fans, they are read without joy and the "fans" seem to have little interest in what they are asking. In some ways it feels too staged – the cast are stiff, the room looks warm but feels restricting and the delivery of the questions feels like it is being done by a pirate radio newsreader. In theory it should have been like a free flowing discussion but it is actually pretty stiff and nowhere near as natural and flowing as it should have been. It is hard to really describe what is wrong with this short film because it is a mix of things. Also involved is a group of fans, asking some questions of their own.

The conversation drifts into what it was actually like making the fourth film (Goblet of Fire), their thoughts on their characters and others and several other Potter topics. The three actors have just seen the finished film for the first time and Newell asks them about their first thoughts. Mike Newell settles down into some comfortable chairs in a nice drawing room to have a chat with the stars of the Harry Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.
