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.
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.
The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.
The truth is that Ron is my hero. He's always there for his friends - sometimes belligerently, but there nevertheless. He's also the comic relief in stressful situations; the funny guy with a great one-liner. And no matter how scared he may be, he will put aside his fears to support and protect the people he loves. To me, that represents true courage.
I've always been quite a proud ginger so I couldn't dye it and betray the other gingers.
I want Ron to stand up to Malfoy and punish him.
I'll always be the ginger one from Harry Potter.
