Eddie Redmayne clearly didn't do as much Harry Potter role-play as we did when we were growing up.

The Fantastic Beasts star revealed to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that he's still having trouble getting his swish and flicks just right.

Redmayne revealed that there was an actual "wand work expert" on the set of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald , to make sure his wand work looked... real?

"I was so incompetent with my wand that they brought in a specialist," he said.

It's okay, Eddie. After all, they practice for seven years at Hogwarts.
