Was it hard to be the star of a movie when you didn't have much acting experience?
It was nerve-racking.The first day on the set, I was very nervous. I was used to rehearsing with about eight people, and I go to the set and, including the extras, there were like 150 people there.
What's the hardest part about acting?
The way that he's very loyal to all of his friends. Getting the right emotions. Generally, I try to think about a song or book, and that emotion comes out with my expressions.I hope.
What was a hard scene to do?
The mirror scene. It's the emotional center of the movie, so I had to get exactly the right thought into my head.
Did you have to do any special training to play Harry?
Yes.Because I did a lot of my own stunts,I had to do a lot of gymnastics training. One of my stunt doubles was this guy called David Holmes. He's a great gymnast.He's been teaching me gymnastics,and it's so much fun.
What was your favorite stunt?
There was one shot where I was hanging one-handed from my broomstick, twenty-one feet in the air. I was wired up to the broom---with a huge airbag underneath me--- and they moved me around up there. That was pretty cool.
Would you want to be friends with Harry in real life?
Absolutely. I like his curiosity and his loyalty. And his magic powwers,too. He's so serious, but at the same time he can be very funny.

What's your favorite thing about Ron?
He's really funny. And you also kind of feel sorry for him because he's always got on hand-me-downs.
What stunt did you most enjoy doing?
I was on a wire and I was dropped from really,really high up into the Devil's Snare. It was fun, so I liked it when we had to do more takes.
If you could play someone else in the movie,who would it be?
I like the sound of Malfoy. He's pretty nasty at times, and that would be quite fun. It would be cool to have the audience against me.
How did you go to school during the filming?
We had a tutor on the set. Whenever we weren't filming, we were in the classroom studying. We had to study a minimum of three hours and a maximum of five hours a day.
What school subject are you good at?
I like to draw. I drew a picture of Alan Rickman (who plays Snape).It was kind of amazing, but really ugly.Then I found out he was right behind me, watching me draw this picture. He took it really well.

How did you get the part?
My drama teacher [at school] called out my name at assembly and asked if I'd like to do the audition.I went up with a couple of friends for a bit of a laugh.Then it got more and more serious.It was really scary, but it was great.
How are you and Hermione alike?
She loves cats, and so do I. I adore animals, but cats are my favorite. I've got two,Bubbles and Domino.
Is there anything that you don't like about Hermione?
She's a bit too [concerned with] rules.She overdoes it when Harry gets the Firebolt and she seeks out Professor McGonagall. She was obviously worried, but I probably would've had a talk with my friend before I sought out a teacher.
Was there a scene that particularly hard to do?
Yes.Neville comes to me with his toad, Trevor, and says, "Do you want to kiss Trevor good night?" Every time he did this I burst into laugher. I was supposed to give him an "I hate you" look, but I couldn't help myself. It took me about eight takes to get it.
