She also recounted how she felt during the first day she joined other “Harry Potter” stars on the set’s filming location. Leung shared that she was “completely overwhelmed” by the number of people involved in filming the movie. "Just not having an idea of what it was like to be on a film set,” she added. “I remember being really nervous and scared on the first day and consequently for another few months!"
