I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.
To be honest, I don't actually know how much at this point, ... I don't, really. In a way, I think that's right. It's not something that affects the way I think about things.
As you grow up, you realize from the age of 14 or so, you grow extra emotions somehow, and I think Harry is at the point where he's at the mercy of all these emotions.
I had a big crush on her when I first met her, definitely.
We are older now, ... so it is good for us to feel like we're not just child actors any more. We've grown up and are now able to make our own acting decisions.
He talked about it having a central spine with these little offshoots, I guess you'd call them nerve-endings, coming off it, ... These little other strands that he kept reiterating, in which every scene had to push that central spine.”
It's just a bizarre experience.
Thing is, it's very easy to be righteous from a distance. It's his life. It's not my business to say what is wrong or right.
If this doesn't get you exhilarated, then nothing in life will excite you.
We are not absolutely confirmed as doing them all. We are confirmed to do the fifth but after that who knows.
In England, there's so much history that you feel a part of history even when you're really no.
The fourth one was incredibly, much more so, much more physical than the first ones. It's I think simply the nature of the book that its got those 3 massive tasks in it.
People would have been disappointed had it not got an M-rating, or not a higher rating than it had got in the past
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
In a way, ... growing up like this with Harry makes it easier to act in each of the films, because I've been through all the stuff that he's going through, like the hormones, relatively recently. So it's quite fresh in my mind. And then I suppose it's been made easier by the fact I've been playing Harry Potter since I was 12. You get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the long run.
It's been an odd five years, but it's been great.
I had a big crush on her when I first met her, definitely. But she's more like a sister now, so it would be a bit incestuous. It's too weird.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
He suffers from the same frailties and hormonal-related problems as all sorts of people his age, but he's also going through this massive thing of almost paranoia, where someone's trying to get at him, trying to destroy his life, but he doesn't know who. Some invisible force is trying to tamper with his life in some way.
It is really strange, but very exciting.
I think I'm highly normal. I'm attending school after acting, I'm going out with friends, going to the cinema - I'm just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can't leave the house without being in a crowd of fans - but that's not true. I'm able to do more things than people might think.
We're now old enough to appreciate scenes being analyzed and broken down.
Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself.
I really wanted to be good at it.
One of the things that has been amazing has been my parents, who have kept me completely grounded the whole time and I've never got big-headed or anything.
In theory I'm naked underneath.
We could get away with more because we were a bit younger.
I'm getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls, ... I think any guy who says 'I've never had an awkward moment with a girl' is a liar.
This has given me a feeling of confidence, ... which I might not have had otherwise.
I'm definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows? I'm not absolutely confident that I'm doing them all.
The whole series is about the loss of innocence, ... In the first one ['The Sorcerer's Stone'], everyone's very wide-eyed, almost naïve. Harry's thinking that because he's entering a magical world, it's got to be better than the world he's come from. But it's not — it's just got further extremes. It can have extreme joy, but there are also the depths that man can sink to.

We don't kill them off, though. That's an important thing to realize.
I thought it was really weird seeing my face up on the screen.
If you are going to do justice to the book, it has to be dark.
