I get recognised sometimes, and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises, but that doesn't work.
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.
Being famous is wicked but its cool to be normal as well.
Walking into the great hall for the first time was absolutely incredible - all these effects with all the candles floating in the air, all lit and everything, food on the table, all the flambeaus were lit - it was just incredible, it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life.
I went out with people, but never anything too serious. It wasn't that easy. Now it's something I'm really looking forward to.
I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.
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.
For me the stunts are so cool, they're one of my favourite things when we're doing the film.
I do, kind of, spend a lot. And just on stupid things. Because I don't really know what to do. What are you supposed to do? Um. It just seems like way too much. We don't deserve it, at all, for what we do.
Yeah, my parents help me keep my feet on the ground.
Leave home? It's quite a scary thought. I'm not the most independent person and that's the result. When you're always surrounded by people it becomes quite normal.
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.
Things at home didn't change much. I still have to clean my own room!
The most challenging scene for me was the spider scene, because I don't like spiders in real life. Even rubber ones I get really scared of.
