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’ve loved the whole process. From previews to rehearsals, I’m in the best company. I’ve done one West End show before this but the excitement here…it’s incredible. It’s been a real education working on this, I don’t feel worthy. The role is over the top, bold and ridiculous.
I get recognised sometimes, and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises, but that doesn't work.
The most challenging scene for me was the spider scene, because I don't like spiders in real life. Even rubber ones I get really scared of.
I’d like to have the flying car, I think that’d be really cool.
People recognize me, call me Ron, and ask me questions. It's really cool and weird as well.
We just started filming, and after every scene was shot, we had a rehearsal for the next one.
Are you kidding? This is Harry Potter! I love every last moment of it.
I was really nervous. Even when I left the audition I was nervous.
Don't have a favorite subject, I think I want to carry on doing this because I really enjoy it.
The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.
In terms of filming, yes, it really does feel over now. 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.
Ron was always my favorite character, because I feel like I relate to him, like we've both got red hair, we both like sweets, we've both got lots of brothers and sisters.
Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
