I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.

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.

Don't get paparazzi following me everywhere. My life there is exactly the same as it would have been if I had not been in Harry Potter. So for me, Harry Potter isn't something that changed my life. It's just something I did that was a lot of fun, and I got to experience amazing things from. But my actual, personal life is the same.

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.

I never contemplated. I just went in there and did my acting. I never thought, What's the character actually feeling here? What's he trying to get across? And never looked at it from that classically trained actor's point of view.

A lot of people struggle in their younger years, and I think people can relate to that.

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.

Having done television, I was used to either being aware whether I got the part within the same day, or within two, three days max.

I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.

Alan Rickman, who was mentored me a lot. He was very keen to offer his opinions on stuff. Not in a pretentious way. Not in a patronizing way.

As an actor you really want to push yourself, and there's no better way than to do an intense drama.

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

The great thing about filming a film is that you all have your final day's shooting, but you always know that you're all going to be coming back for the premiere.

Approaching a comedy character is fun because you get to sit down with the director and ask, What makes you laugh? Then you end up bouncing ideas off each other.
