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.
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.
I've always been quite a proud ginger so I couldn't dye it and betray the other gingers.
I'll always be the ginger one from Harry Potter.
It's going to be really weird to know that people are going to actually know my name, that's going to be strange.
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.
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.
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.
Like one time I was a fish in Noah's Ark and now I'm in Harry Potter, a big step.
