How did you feel when you found out you got the part?
In a way I felt scared---I'd never done anything like a movie before! I've only acted in plays at school. At the auditions, I was majorly nervous. There were loads of people trying out, and I felt like they knew more about what they were doing than I did.
Do you think you are much like Hermione?
No,not really. I suppose if you asked my brother, he would say, "Oh,yeah, she's really bossy!" but otherwise I'm not like Hermione at all. I think she would be the sort of girl I'd like to have for a friend,though.
What was it like working with the animals?
0h, I loved that! I'm all over animals--- I have two cats of my own. I really enjoyed working with the owls. There were other animals in the film too--- frogs,rats,and cats.
What was the funniest thing that happened on the set?
We did a lot of pranks! Once Dan Radcliffe, who plays Harry, brought in a remote-controlld whoopie cushion. He tried it on me, but it didn't quite work! Then he tried it on someone else who was going to sit down on a massive sofa. When it went off, Chris Columbus (the director),said,"cut! What was that thing?" And everyone burst into laughter. Dan pulled other pranks,too---like making little labels that said "Kick me" or "Punch me". He would stick them onto the backs of everyone who came into sight. It was really good.
Did your friends bug you to tell them stuff about the movie?
Never! Some people did, but they weren't my friends.
Do you have a favorite character?
One of my favorites is Hagrid. Robbie Coltrane, who plays him, does a really strong accent. I think it sounds so funny!
Did you get to met J.K. Rowling?
I did! I met her just after I got the part. I really liked her- she's fun!
If you could take one magical thing from the movie and make it real, what would you pick? That's obvious---my wand! Then if I ever needed something, I could always get it.
There's a scene in the movie where you make a feather float. Can you tell us how you did that?
Pure magic!
