In an interview with Vulture, David said he regularly gets stopped and asked to do Filch impressions or for autographs.
He explained: “When somebody’s face lights up as they’re walking towards me, I’m trying to guess, ‘What is it they watch?’ It’s a little game, and I always get it wrong.
“With Harry Potter, you get parents who say, ‘Can I get your autograph? It’s not for me, you understand. It’s for my son,’ or for my daughter. They won’t admit to the fact that they watch it. [laughs] And for many years, it was only Potter fans who would stop me on the street.”
He continued: “Or they want me to say one of my lines for their ring tone on their phone, one of my most horrible Filch lines from Harry Potter in my harshest Cockney voice, so I usually oblige.
“Why not? I appreciate the fact that they watch the stuff. Without them, I wouldn’t be working!”
