Many of you may know Bonnie from her role as Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films. But alongside her work as an actor and director, Bonnie has another passion – the environment and taking action against climate change. Her new book, Go Gently, shares with readers simple steps we can all take, each day, to help reconnect to the natural world around us and join in the fight against climate change. You can find out more here: https://gogently.earth/book

James and Oliver Phelps (aka Fred and George Weasley) talk to a star-studded selection of friends, colleagues and personal heroes who stepped into the limelight at a young age, and find out what “normal” means to them. As identical twins who grew up on the Harry Potter film set as Fred and George Weasley, you could never say that the pair had a “normal” start to life. But recently, they’ve been thinking: what does “normal” mean anyway? Ready your ears for behind-the-scenes Potter revelations; outrageous rants; frank conversations about mental health; and even the odd, ‘did-you-know?’ Stabl production (Formerly the Double Trouble podcast)

Ollie's birthday rant

Did you know that the first Lord of the Rings movie came out three weeks after Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? In this episode we’re talking to the brilliant Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan - the actors who played Pippin and Merry in the films.

We find out what the mischievous Merry and Pippin have in common with Fred and George Weasley, what pranks Dom pulled on set and why people are still mixing Billy and Dom up.

We highly recommend that you check out Billy and Dominic’s podcast The Friendship Onion on Youtube, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. They talk about what happened behind the scenes on Lord of the Rings, get their co-stars Elijah Wood and Sean Astin involved and generally just have loads of hilarious fun.
