You Probably Had No Idea Rita Ora Was An Extra In 'Harry Potter' – Here's What She Had To Say About The Experience
Rita Ora is a woman of many talents, but you probably didn't know that appearing in one of Britain's biggest film franchises was on her long list of achievements. Sitting down on CelebriTea, Rita Ora revealed that, while she wasn't credited for her appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban back in 2003, she has some great memories of her time on the set. So, how did she even end up there? "I had a choice. Be an extra in Harry Potter, or go to school... What would you do? What would you do? Obviously I'm going to do this," she revealed. But if you've watched the film and never spotted her, you're not alone, and that's the point, "I'm not even in the movie, really. My ponytail is," Rita joked. In case you were wondering, she's in the Divination class scene where Professor Trewlawny (Emma Thompson) tells Harry he's got the Grim. Though her role was small, Rita has nothing but warm memories from the set: 'We were treated really well, it was a bunch of kids. So we were all on buses. It was a really great experience as a kid.' The Harry Potter films utilised hundreds of child extras for the Hogwarts scenes; they were shuttled on set with chaperones, and while Rita chose to participate to skip school, she did have to do a couple of hours of school work between scenes. So next time you're watching Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, keep an eye out. That ponytail walking through Hogwarts? It might just belong to global pop sensation Rita Ora.

"Avengers: Doomsday": Alan Cumming Just Let Slip Some Detaiils About A Fight Scene, And Now We're Even
Alan Cumming is coming back as Nightcrawler in Marvel's upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and he just dropped huge hint about one of the fight scenes. Alan joined us on CelebriTea, and during the chat, he reflected on returning as the iconic character years later, saying, "I'm 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero. I was kind of old for a superhero even then, and now I'm back doing it. That, to me, is hilarious." He revealed he's been rehearsing for the film, and seemingly let slip a huge clue about the much anticipated fight scenes: "I'm sort of learning these fights, I'm like, 'What? Who am I fighting with?' They said, 'You're you're hitting Pedro Pascal against the head or something." Pedro Pascal is set to play Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which will be in cinemas this July. While Marvel hasn't confirmed the details of any such battle, Alan's comments suggest that we might see a clash between Nightcrawler and Mr. Fantastic in Avengers: Doomsday.
