Grint, who plays the baby’s uncle Julian, became a dad during filming and said: “It definitely has kind of changed my perspective on things but also in a helpful way.

“It was something I never really had much of an idea of, it was that kind of love, it's a very different love and kind of getting into the head space of Dorothy and the grief, what it means to lose a child is kind of unimaginable and kind of hones in on that kind of, you would do anything to get your child back.

“So yes, it's definitely helped in some ways."
