I’m not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I’m a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I’m useless. I mean, I’m a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things.
The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it.
Being in Harry Potter is like being in the Mafia. Once you are in, you are never really out.
I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.
I wasn’t the most popular kid in school.
What I love about the gay thing is that every single person I type into Google, it doesn’t matter if it’s Florence Welch, anybody, if you are not being called gay you don’t have a career. That’s my theory!
I just moved into the world of Xbox Live. And I’ve discovered that everyone on the Internet is a lot better than me. I spent half an hour the other day designing a boxer, and I got knocked out twice in the first round.
I’m not much of a cake person.
I’m an atheist, but I’m very relaxed about it. I don’t preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do.
I Google myself to see what come up when you Google Daniel Radcliffe because that’s always amusing.
I’m getting better now, but I used to be incredibly awkward with girls. I think any guy who says ‘I’ve never had an awkward moment with a girl’ is a liar.
I’m also a fan of ridiculously coloured and patterned socks.
I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.
England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.
Personally, I prefer the dark side.
Don’t try too hard to be something you’re not.
In terms of drama school, what that will give you that you won’t necessarily learn on a film set is the technical ability – ie, projecting your voice and stage craft.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
It’s interesting because people assume that because I’m famous I know all famous people.
It’s very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything – none of which I mind – but people don’t really care that much.
