When you're playing a character for 10 years, it can challenge you less than it did at the beginning, so it was exciting to take on some new shoes. Especially with Erich Blunt, because being a tech wizard wasn't something I thought I would do after Harry Potter.
What twelve year old wouldn't want to play an evil wizard?
When I was 9 or 10 years old it wasn't the thing to be seen doing - reading a book in your spare time.
I have met a couple of six-year-olds who were apparently quite excited to meet me - before they actually met me. And when they actually met me they ran behind their parents' legs and cowered for shelter.
I want to take a few years out, maybe make a couple of more films or whatever.
One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood. But the idea of money - putting a price on your childhood - is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can't put a price on them.
I went to see every angler on the bank to see how they were doing, to try to give them a few tips or whatever. But yeah, we had a lot of fun. It was definitely a good time and we're definitely going to do it again next year.
You avoid the hype while you're working, you have to, but the premiere is the one night of the year where you can enjoy it.
Biggest worry is trying to figure out why they are in the state they are in, if its not a trauma type situation like a car accident or something like that, if it's a medical you really feel behind behind the problem, but if you can have an idea what you are dealing with it puts us that much farther ahead in helping that patient out.
If a challenge arises that needs mathematics to solve it, I like to be able to know how to do it. I do find solving some things entertaining.
I am looking to get into the grime rap U.K. scene.
I have been to New York before, but when I was quite young and filming my first ever commercial which we filmed in Time Square which was cool.
To act upset, I think of cold things - don't ask me why!
It's somewhat new, something that's just getting out and about, hopefully it catches on, it would be really good.
