It's going to be really weird to know that people are going to actually know my name, that's going to be strange.
Looking back at all the films, it just seems like one long film.
I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.
Yeah, my parents help me keep my feet on the ground.
I do get one chance to dance [in GoF], I had to dance with Maggie Smith. That was the only dancing experience I had, which was actually quite enough really.
Being famous is wicked but its cool to be normal as well.
If there is one thing of which I am most proud, it's that I made being ginger cool!
I'm so proud to be part of Harry Potter and even prouder to be representing the gingers.
Like one time I was a fish in Noah's Ark and now I'm in Harry Potter, a big step.
My favorite scene in this film was the flying car, because that was just wicked.
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.
We just started filming, and after every scene was shot, we had a rehearsal for the next one.
We had a script reading, and that's where we met J.K. Rowling, which was really exciting.
We always have a tutor on the set, and when we're not working we're always tutoring.
