With all the hype of Fantastic Beats and Where To Find Them, we decided to have a hunt around for some magical Harry Potter facts - because let's be honest, who doesn't love a bit of HP?!

Earlier this year, BuzzFeed had a chat with Chris Rankin - Percy Weasley - and he shared some pretty cool facts about the films that we didn't know before:

1. Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) improvised the "What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?" line, and Rankin recalls it was always hilarious.

2. In some of the longer scenes in Deathly Hallows Part II, if you look closely, you can see them fighting Death Eaters with disco moves. Apparently it was because the actors were SO bored.
