Harry said to On Demand Entertainment: "You get to be around people who you’re a fan of and when they’re passionate about what they do it’s a privilege, so I think being around people like that – cast, crew, Chris."
"You kind of soak up as much as you can and use it as a learning experience."
The star even appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about his time on the movie, saying he found it very emotional.
