I went to an after-school drama class for two years, and I did a lot of school plays.
I'm learning to drive at the moment, so that's taking all my time.
They were just kind of simultaneous - the film ending and the sets being destroyed. I was struck the first time I saw the Great Hall become a big pile of burning rubble and getting scattered around. It's really quite shocking for the fans.
I think its Ron's turn to sort of try that out, so I'm looking forward to that.
One in the third film, I'm looking forward to meeting one of the Dementors.
I like to swim and ride my bike.
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.
But we knew the characters pretty well because we were all big fans of the books.
Are you kidding? This is Harry Potter! I love every last moment of it.
I'm shorter, I don't have as many freckles as Ron, and I can't do magic.
Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.
In terms of filming, yes, it really does feel over now. There's a real sense of freedom now. It's a good time to finish, I think. As much as I'm going to miss it I'm ready to move on and do different things.
The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.
People recognize me, call me Ron, and ask me questions. It's really cool and weird as well.
