It would be quite good to be a Formula 1 [racecar] driver.
Id be happiest standing at the back, strumming my little banjo where no one could see me.
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.
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 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.
Well one of the times I did a stunt was in the devil’s snare room and they lifted me up on a harness and a safety rope really, really high, and they just dropped me down into the devil’s snare.
I've known Emma Watson since she was 9, we've watched each other grow up, formed this sort of brother/sister bond, and suddenly I'm leaning in to kiss her. Well, it felt completely wrong... but, you know, you try to sink into the character and divorce yourself from it. We ended up laughing hysterically afterwards.
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.
Harry Potter has been a fantastic experience and the fact it has made stars of us all is unbelievable at times - it really is magic of a sort.
