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.

I think as an actor you're always learning, you're always trying to experience more things.

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

I did enjoy theater. I actually do prefer making films and television, but it was a learning experience for me, because I got into television at 5 and film at 11, and theater was something I completely bypassed.

I love making people laugh, and to be able to be that humorous character was great. And I actually was very similar to Neville Longbottom. I was very shy and chubby-cheeked. I wasn't bullied at school, but I wasn't particularly outgoing. We were similar. And so I loved playing him.

I had a screen test and an audition for the role of Neville Longbottom. It wasn't a job at that point. It was just something I enjoyed doing. And it's hard to remember back then, really, that much. But I just remember loving it.

There was never any point at which I was considering leaving Harry Potter. If I were to stop acting, it would have been after.
