Robert Pattinson felt filming ‘Harry Potter’ was easier

3 March 2009 at 03:07 GMT

Robert Pattinson reportedly found filming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire easier and less stressful than filming Twilight:

“It’s different. When I was doing Harry Potter, which I did, there already had been three made. It was already a slick machine by the time I got into it. Whereas with Twilight, people didn’t realize really what it was, the extent of what it was, and it kept growing and growing.“

The Scotsman reports that J. K. Rowling paid a heart-warming visit to the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Morningside to interact with patients. She daubed graffiti on the walls of the Young People’s Unit, which cares for teenagers with psychiatric conditions. According to consultant psychologist Dr Jane Morris:

“She really does spread magic. She’s a natural and knows how to talk to young people. And she’s extremely cool. She does graffiti on the walls which is probably worth a fortune. She’s drawn all of us and wrote ‘JK Rowling was here’.“
