Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.
I'm shorter, I don't have as many freckles as Ron, and I can't do magic.
I had this giant slug in my mouth loaded with slime and I spat them out. I think it was plastic. I hope it was plastic.
I like to swim and ride my bike.
I'm learning to drive at the moment, so that's taking all my time.
Are you kidding? This is Harry Potter! I love every last moment of it.
Oh, they're scary. They are scary. To think that people are going to be playing with you.
It was really weird but also so much fun. I had such a brilliant time on the set.
They were just kind of simultaneous - the film ending and the sets being destroyed. I was struck the first time I saw the Great Hall become a big pile of burning rubble and getting scattered around. It's really quite shocking for the fans.
I always loved acting, but it's weird to think what I'd be doing if this hadn't come around. It's kind of a bit of a fluke how I got into it, so I'm grateful.
There's a real sense of freedom now. It's a good time to finish, I think. As much as I'm going to miss it I'm ready to move on and do different things.
I'm so proud to be part of Harry Potter and even prouder to be representing the gingers.
I always wanted to go into acting.
