I'd like to own my own garage and my own fishery. I'd also like to be a professional fisherman. But I'll take whatever happens.
I'll take my clothes off - whatever the job requires.
What a house. Turns out they're doing OK, the Malfoy's. However, the interior decorating leaves a lot to be desired. And needless to say, Voldemort isn't the greatest houseguest.
I used to have some fish, some nice little carp, but they got too big for the tank. I don't have any pets now.
I don't have an album cover with me on a broomstick.
I had a great childhood.
I like all films whether it's dark or light, love, hate, whatever it is, I enjoy it.
When I was 9 or 10 years old it wasn't the thing to be seen doing - reading a book in your spare time.
And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.
I'm going to change my image - backward caps, the lot.
I remember my first scene with Alan Rickman, and I was anxious because he is a slight 'method' actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like Snape - it is quite terrifying. But I really wanted to talk to him because 'Robin Hood' was one of my favourite films.
If someone tried to take the hierarchy thing too seriously - for example, being lovely to producers but moaning to runners about the tea - that would not be accepted on 'Harry Potter'; someone would pull you aside and have a word.
I can't wait to see how Dan and I will look when we are older.
Knowledge will not be acquired without pains and application. It is troublesome and deep, digging for pure waters; but when once you come to the spring, they rise up and meet you.
