What's left behind the scenes

  • Natasha Richardson's final role. She passed away on March 18, 2009.
  • The song "Real Wild Child" is featured in the films "Wild Child" (2008) starring Emma Roberts and "Pretty Woman" (1990) starring Julia Roberts.
  • Actress Daisy Donovan, who also appears on screen, brought contemporary youth slang to the script. She later admitted that she went to the library for this purpose and secretly listened to conversations of teenagers preparing for prom.
  • Lucy Dal's first screenplay.
  • In one episode, Poppy, played by Emma Roberts, asks: "Are we even where? At Hogwarts?" - after which Matron, played by Shirley Henderson, who also played Moaning Myrtle in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (2002) and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (2005), appears on screen.
  • As with their on-screen characters, Emma Roberts and Alex Pettyfer began dating in real life.
  • During the final break in the lacrosse championship match, students from Abbey Mount school perform a slightly modified dance – a Māori ritual dance, popularized by the New Zealand rugby team, the All Blacks. The first New Zealand rugby team to play abroad in the late 19th century performed the haka before their match against Australia, in an attempt to intimidate their opponents. The dance performed by the girls included some aggressive elements from the current All Blacks repertoire: a stance with slightly bent knees and arms crossed, clenched into fists; sticking out the tongue and shouting towards the opposing team; slapping their elbows, hips and chest; and dropping to one knee, supporting themselves on a clenched fist with a menacing expression.
  • Harriet copies Keira Knightley’s attire as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright’s 'Pride & Prejudice' (2005). The melody played by Mr. Nellist is called 'Dawn'. It was written by Dario Marianelli, who composed the music for 'Pride & Prejudice'. While Harriet is contemplating what to wear in her bedroom, clips from the film are shown on screen.
  • Poppy and Freddy’s date, played by Emma Roberts and Alex Pettyfer, is accompanied by 'Chasing Pavements', a 2008 hit by Adele.
  • The song "Real Wild Child" is featured in the films "Wild Child" (2008) starring Emma Roberts and "Pretty Woman" (1990) starring Julia Roberts.
  • In one episode, Poppy, played by Emma Roberts, asks, "Where are we, anyway? Hogwarts?" After which, Matron, played by Shirley Henderson, who also played Moaning Myrtle in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (2002) and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (2005), appears on screen.
