In this episode, we talk to our brilliant friend Nat Tena, who you might know better as Nymphadora Tonks.

Nat landed her first film role aged sixteen when she starred alongside Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult in About a Boy. Since then she’s been in many of our favourite films and TV shows, from Game of Thrones to The Mandalorian. When she’s not acting she’s singing and playing the accordion in gipsy ska band Molotov Jukebox.

We find out how smoking round the back of the bike sheds landed Nat her first film role, why she thought Dumbledore was a country and what bad habit has her scaring fellow hotel guests.

In 2020 Nat walked the 720km Camino De Santiago trail with her best friend to raise money for The Orchid Project, an amazing charity that is fighting to put an end to female genital cutting. To support the charity and find out more go to theorchidproject.org

James and Oliver Phelps (aka Fred and George Weasley) talk to a starstudded 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 behindthescenes Potter revelations; outrageous rants; frank conversations about mental health; and even the odd, ‘didyouknow?’
