- Reprised his role as Oliver Wood in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" in an uncredited cameo.
- His favorite movie is Ghostbusters (1984).
- Has an official site, www.seanbiggerstaff.com. He interacts with his fans through his diary and his official message board, where he occasionally posts.
- It can be a bit irritating when someone asks me how the new film's coming along when I haven't worked on Harry Potter for two years. Generally speaking, I have no problem with it. Most actors go through their careers without ever being involved in something so spectacular, so I think it would be a bit ignorant of me to object to being associated with it. Harry Potter is an amazing thing. I'm not just being diplomatic here either. I'm still reminded regularly of what a unique experience it was.
