Leeds is quite laid-back.

I think screenwriter Steve Kloves does such a difficult job. And he does a bloody brilliant job, too. Transferring these Harry Potter books into films and making them coherent is one thing. But making them entertaining, as well, is quite another... He does a tremendous job, and he gets a lot of stick. And it's really unfair sometimes, and I challenge anyone else to do the job he does.

My parents are proud of me being an actor.

I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them. They've got all their home videos done in HD quality! They love it. But I struggle very much. I'm very self-conscious as an actor, anyway. I don't like watching my own performances, even in this recent one.

Rupert Grint is exactly like his character Ron, in that they are both incredibly funny, friendly, and loyal.

I'm not a big fan of people knowing too much about me.

What I've found is that stage is very much a foundation of acting. It's where it all began and you're working with that repetition.
