I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You cant really move from it: its on buses, in stores, its everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies. – Gary Oldman

Nil By Mouth was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, thats not my dad. – Gary Oldman
