HARRY Potter's Molly Weasley looked altogether different as she swapped her long hair and wand for a large padded coat while shooting her latest movie in Maryhill.
The legendary Julie Walters who played Ron's mum who was best known for her line 'Not my daughter, you b****" later dressed down in a grey cardie for more Muggley pursuits.
Julie, who has been labelled a national institution after appearing in films like Harry Potter, Educating Rita, Mamma Mia, Calendar Girls and TV series Victoria Wood has been filming new country movie Country Music in Glasgow for the last two weeks.
The film follows the story of a mum of two Rose Lynn Harlan played by Jessie Buckley who comes out of prison to try her luck at becoming a country music singer in Nashville.
Julie, who was made a Dame last month on the Queens birthday honours list, has been filming around Knowetap Street.
The crew set up their official vehicles on site last week for the movie which also stars Doctor Who's Sophie Okonedo and Macbeth's James Harkness.
The crew also filmed some more scenes on nearby Cumloden Drive.
Last week Julie met up with BBC Radio 2 and Old Grey Whistle Test legend Whispering Bob Harris in Glasgow's City Halls and Old Fruitmarket.
Scots musicians Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham also shot their musical scenes in the City Halls which is home to the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
The cast and crew who have also shot scenes in Greenock Jail are expected to film in Scotland for the next few days before moving onto production in London and then Nashville.
