QUOTES
"The train-compartment scenes were the most fun, because it was just me, Rupert and Emma, surrounded by sweets, just laughing and joking the whole time."
"I think my earliest memory of acting was playing a monkey in a school play, when I was about six. I had floppy ears and orange makeup and I had to wear tights. I think I went on and danced around for about 40 seconds or something. I hope nobody ever digs up a picture of me in that, because it was embarrassing."
"My stomach was actually vibrating." (Dan was adorable when he said this.)
"My best friend at school, Alex Berman, is a fanatic about Harry Potter. I believe he's read the fourth book six or eight times, which is pretty impressive. Almost every night after the movie started, we'd talk on the phone, and I'd tell him what scenes we had filmed."
"Joanne looked to me the first time and said she felt like she'd been reunited with her long-lost son. Isn't that lovely?"
"Alan Rickman is very nice. He's so good at playing evil Professor Snape. he's also got a very dry wit. In the Potions lesson I had to keep reminding myself it wasn't real, it's only a film, because he's very scary in it."
"I'm obsessed with two things. Two things. The Simpsons and the films. I love the Simpsons and I love the films."
"The Every Flavor Beans were great because they really did taste of all different flavors. And the Cauldron Cakes-- they were made of marzipan with sprinkles on them. When I took a bite I got really bad indigestion."
"I don't mind being around girls. Some boys my age just tease them and I just don't get that."
"I couldn't have done it. I can't sing. I could do the snogging Nicole Kidman bit. I doubt I'd be hard pressed to do that! When I see a great part, I wish I'd been alive so I could have done it."
"I don't read press articles and my mum and dad have just told me to enjoy it - I think that is the best thing. There are a lot of worse things to worry about in this world than being recognised."
"I thought it would be really cool just to be able to say I auditioned for the part - I never thought I would get it."
"I don't know. People tell me I look mournful. They say, 'Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!' Sometimes I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person. Though I don't, like, dot my "I's" with hearts or anything - that would be too happy."
"I woke up four times. At 1am, 3am, 4am and ten of 6."
"I think I'm a tiny bit like Harry cos' I'd like to have an owl. Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually."
"It's very strange because a lot of the other boys in my class know that I've only read the one or two books - but these boys are total fanatics, they've read all four and stuff. I think they're a bit angry, because I've read the least Harry Potter in my class."
"It was only the third time I've been mentioned in assembly. One was bad and the other was scoring a hat-trick for the B team."
"My favourite film is 12 Angry Men. Was the first black and white film I've ever seen. It's really inspirational because it shows how a person can make a difference, against all the odds." (I thought this was inspiring and his hair was messy *lol*)
"If I liked them, it would be a spell where I'd give them a special power, like invisibility. If I didn't like them, I'd probably make them really embarrassed."
"I'm not clumsy, I'm just accident-prone."
