There's a bit of pressure when you're reimagining something so iconic and loved. But the only way you can really do it is completely reinvent it.

The most challenging scene for me was the spider scene, because I don't like spiders in real life. Even rubber ones I get really scared of.

Before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.

I always wanted to go into acting.

Leave home? It's quite a scary thought. I'm not the most independent person and that's the result. When you're always surrounded by people it becomes quite normal.

Walking into the great hall for the first time was absolutely incredible - all these effects with all the candles floating in the air, all lit and everything, food on the table, all the flambeaus were lit - it was just incredible, it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life.

It would be quite good to be a Formula 1 racecar driver.
