Flick Miles has found herself back in the spotlight recently thanks to the 20th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film - but what do we know about her? πŸ€”
Flick is now 31 and has opened up on what life was like as a kid on the set of the magical Harry Potter films working alongside Emma Watson as Hermione Granger's body double πŸ‘­
Flick said she would hang around with the cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson (Harry, Ron and Hermione) alongside her other fellow body doubles "pretty much all day every day".
"We would all eat and chill together, especially on location we would spend a lot of time together."
The 31-year-old fondly spoke of her memories of first landing the role working alongside Emma as Hermione Granger in the first three films.
"They tested me and Emma against each other and lined us up, looking through the camera lens to ultimately see if we have a similarly shaped face along with of course the height and build."
πŸŽ₯ As she was under 16 she could only film for four hours a day, it could be the back or side of Hermione's head that they would often use.

Speaking of the "iconic Hermione hair" Flick says: "I look back and it was so big and frizzy!
Flick worked alongside the cast as Hermione's body double for four years, appearing in the first three films of the franchise before moving on to new ventures.

One of the more memorable scenes was the cat scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
A cast was taken of her face, which was then worked from that and it looks straight forward but it was actually hundreds of different pieces, with all the facial hair stuck on individually.

It took the hair and make-up team roughly between three and four hours to get the look.
Discussing the recent reunion, Flick said: "I think the reunion show really has made Potter fans fall in love with Harry Potter all over again.

πŸ“· PA
Flick has now even launched a podcast in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the films, to bring together her fond memories of her time on the set and showcase the wide-ranging talent of those involved behind the scenes.
