I'll always be the ginger one from Harry Potter.
Before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
I want Ron to stand up to Malfoy and punish him.
Id be happiest standing at the back, strumming my little banjo where no one could see me.
But I like all the books. You've got to read them all to get the complete Harry Potter experience.
I've never fancied that footballer lifestyle. I suppose I could live that kind of flash life. People stereotype child actors and kind of expect you to go off the rails a bit, be a bit crazy, but that's not really happened yet. I've got a big family so that helps, and they live really close to the studios so it's just so much easier.
I would date a fan, I dont have a problem with that. I look for a good sense of humour in a girlfriend.
I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual.
So yes, I do want to try and keep things going if I can. I have a few things brewing And if it doesn't happen, I did buy an ice cream van a while ago. So I always have that to fall back on.
Every time I come off-set, I am just like a normal kid again.
Too bad brooms can't really fly. Now if you miss the bus you can't just go in your room and fly to school with a nimbus two thousand!
When I read the books, I imagined that the family of Ron Weasley was my family.
I've always been quite a proud ginger so I couldn't dye it and betray the other gingers.
It's always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don't know if I'm good enough to have a long career. I've got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.
