I went to an after-school drama class for two years, and I did a lot of school plays.
I've just started school again, and it was a bit strange to start off with; it took me three or four days to get used to it. My friends have been great, they've been treating me normally.
Too bad brooms can't really fly. Now if you miss the bus you can't just go in your room and fly to school with a nimbus two thousand!
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.
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.
But we knew the characters pretty well because we were all big fans of the books.
