  • McLaughlin said production is “going amazing” and that he has formed close friendships on set as shooting continues at Leavesden.
  • Daniel Radcliffe previously confirmed he wrote words of encouragement and received a “very sweet note back,” stressing he does not want to overshadow the new cast.
