GOF's Patil twins

CBBC Newsround | TV/Film | NR chats to GOF's Patil twins: "In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Patil twins are the envy of many when they end up going to the Yule Ball with Harry and Ron.

We caught up with Afshan Azad and Shefali Chowdhury, who play Padma and Parvati, to ask them about filming, dancing and those boys...


Afshan: It was really nice, they wanted it to be quite traditional Indian and I think it really was a pretty dress. I think they shipped it from India - didn't they Shefali?

Shefali: Yeah I think the costume designer from Bride and Prejudice did them.

Afshan: Yeah she did it.

Shefali: She made them really gorgeous.

Afshan: Our wardrobe lady was really enthusiastic about having us in traditional Asian dress to show our culture, but it was really pretty and everyone liked them on set and it was great, colourful, and obviously we have matching outfits.

Afshan: In the film we actually wore one earring in one ear. Just to show that we were twins you know. Actually Shefali has some beauty spots on her face so they had to put some beauty spots on me in exactly the same place and I had really long hair and Shefali had to have the wig.

Shefali: I had to have a wig - it was so heavy.

Afshan: She had padding on as well didn't you?

Shefali: Yeah, I had padding. I had to wear really high heels because I'm slightly shorter than Afshan.

Afshan: Shefali got a lot of hassle. The wig, the high heels, the padding, I had to just concentrate on my make-up.

Shefali: But you've cut all your hair now.

Afshan: I've cut all my hair off yeah.

Shefali: She had gorgeous, really long hair before, but now it's just all cut off.

Afshan: Now I'll have to wear the wig!
