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 think coughing up slugs was quite hard. Ron has a scene where he has to cough up these giant slugs. 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 am a really big Harry Potter fan and I've seen all the sets, I've lived Harry Potter and I don't think it's destroyed the books at all, I think it's really spot on.
I’d like to have the flying car, I think that’d be really cool.
I'm learning to drive at the moment, so that's taking all my time.

Oh, they're scary. They are scary. To think that people are going to be playing with you.
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.
You can lose yourself in it. It's for both kids and adults.
We had a script reading, and that's where we met J.K. Rowling, which was really exciting.
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.
One in the third film, I'm looking forward to meeting one of the Dementors.
