How Harry Potter Made Hero Fiennes Tiffin ‘Confident and Comfortable’

During an interview with ComingSoon about his most recent film, Hero Fiennes Tiffin discussed the impact that his role in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince had on his career.

“I think, secretly, it was so good for me because, for me, the stakes weren’t high — I was doing it for days off school,” Tiffin said, clarifying that he does indeed love Harry Potter. “But then once I was there, Michael Gambon, between takes, talking about his new Audi RA and just having fun, David Yates is just an incredible people person. And even at that age, I felt like he was on my level, just talking to me as a friend, it didn’t feel at all overwhelming or like I had to get it right. And I think that led me on to be in a position, when I was doing auditions or other roles, to not put so much pressure on myself.”

The young actor went on to describe how being a part of such a major franchise so early on in his career was beneficial to his confidence and ended up relieving him of some of the pressure involving his career going forward.

“So I think to do something so big at such a young age, before I realized how important and how much pressure there was and how high the stakes are … I think that really set me up well to be a bit more confident and comfortable and relaxed moving forward.”

Tiffin, who has starred in the After franchise in recent years, most recently appeared in the film First Love, a romantic drama that is now available in theaters and on-demand.
