Alan Rickman told me to do a play, so I did. Because when Alan Rickman tells you do something, you go and do 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.

If someone wants to employ me, whoever wants to employ me, I'll go and do that. I just want to work.

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.

I mean, I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them.

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.
