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.

There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.

There’s an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it’s where I’ve grown up.

I’m definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows? I’m not absolutely confident that I’m doing them all.

There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life.

I don’t want anyone to ever say that I don’t belong where I am.

I haven’t always been thrilled with my work. But the fear of not proving the people wrong who think you can’t emerge from a franchise and do well, that’s a very strong driving force.

One of the things that I cannot fathom is young actors who will not audition and won’t read.

I’ve not got a girlfriend at the moment. Somebody said, ‘Do you worry girls are just giving you attention because of who you are?’ I was like, ‘I’m 17, it’s wonderful.’

I’d love to play Puck in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’

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,

Shyness displays itself differently in me. I think it’s more an awkwardness.

I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.

I like the idea of not having to do stuff for the money, and if I want to, I can pick indie projects for the rest of my life and be quite happy doing that.

I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they’re all really cool.

Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

I absolutely don’t relate to being beaten down my whole life – I had amazing opportunities at a young age – but there is still in many, many people’s minds the notion that I’ll never...

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.

The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.

When you’re seventeen to early twenties, that’s the time you’re trying to work out who you are. If you’re trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that’s the age when you start...

If I was left to my own devices, you would see about ten T-shirts in rotation with maybe a few nice pairs of jeans – but I also like to look good. I like feeling...

When I get into trouble at school I’d like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door. Or I’d like to have a 3 headed-dog because then no one...

There’s never enough time to do nothing!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,

I think honesty is the most heroic quality one can aspire to.

I just have this fear that I’ll get on stage and there’ll be that brief moment of adrenalin and I’ll forget my line.

I know I’m not a coal miner, but I do long hours and I never complain, and there is nowhere else I’d rather be. So, yeah, that’s how I’d define myself. I want to do...

I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment...

If I can make a career for myself after Potter, and it goes well, and is varied and with longevity, then that puts to bed the ‘child actors argument’.

I’m a huge fan of Brad Pitt. He could have done rom-coms his entire career, but he took it in a different direction.

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.

Personally, I prefer the dark side.

I’m always amazed at the way some actors’ behaviour is truly disgusting. That’s one thing that will never happen on one of my sets if I ever direct.

I see myself doing Harry Potter films as long as I’m enjoying it and as long as they are going to challenge me as an actor. I want to be an actor – it’s my...

I seem to be a long-term relationship kinda guy.

Franchises aren’t to be avoided. They can be exciting, and they give you opportunities to do other films.

I definitely want to have kids. I’ve grown up around lots of people who were having kids when I knew them, because a lot of them were a lot older than me. And I saw...

People would have been disappointed had it not got an M-rating, or not a higher rating than it had got in the past,

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.

As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you’re always ultimately going to be saying somebody else’s words. I don’t think I’d have the stamina, skill or ability to write...

A friend often says I’m an old man in a young man’s husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.

I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I’m really bad at it. I’m just a terrible drawer. I can’t draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can’t draw...

I feel very English in a suit. There’s something about being in a suit abroad, particularly in America, that feels empowering.

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.

I used to be self conscious about my height, but then I thought, fuck that, I’m Harry Potter.

I love coming home to somebody, I love being in a relationship.

I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, ‘Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince’,...

And the people I’m best friends with on the films are not generally the actors.

The stories I’m interested in are challenging ones, and maybe that requires a little bit more of you. I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every single day.

I’m a serial monogamist. I’m not one of those people that can date loads of people at the same time, it’s all too complicated.
