My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filter them.
I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.
I always feel that if you put me in a room with a director and a writer and let me talk about the script, I can give a good account of myself.
In a way, ... growing up like this with Harry makes it easier to act in each of the films, because I've been through all the stuff that he's going through, like the hormones, relatively recently. So it's quite fresh in my mind. And then I suppose it's been made easier by the fact I've been playing Harry Potter since I was 12. You get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the long run.
I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls, ... I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.
I'm definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows? I'm not absolutely confident that I'm doing them all.
I love it. Until recently, I'd seen a peek of it in the catalogue but not actually seen the real thing. It was strange seeing myself as I was two years ago, not as I am now. If you look at each individual part of my face they look exactly like part of my face. Together it's surreal.
In England, there's so much history that you feel a part of history even when you're really not,
To be honest, I don't actually know how much at this point, ... I don't, really. In a way, I think that's right. It's not something that affects the way I think about things.
We are older now, ... so it is good for us to feel like we're not just child actors any more. We've grown up and are now able to make our own acting decisions.
Thing is, it's very easy to be righteous from a distance. It's his life. It's not my business to say what is wrong or right.
If this doesn't get you exhilarated, then nothing in life will excite you,
One of the things that has been amazing has been my parents, who have kept me completely grounded the whole time and I've never got big-headed or anything.
People would have been disappointed had it not got an M-rating, or not a higher rating than it had got in the past,
