I don’t have an album cover with me on a broomstick.
I had a great childhood.
Oh God, you know what would be really good for me is a dog locater – it would save me the hours that I have to spend looking for my dog.
When we’re not trying to kill each other with spells, we just sit in in Daniel’s dressing room watching cricket games on television.
I live right in the middle of nowhere and I thoroughly enjoy it.
I’m a little bit of a geek – I have to be the first person to get new things when they come out. I always want to buy and try new gadgets.
I used to have all the Goosebumps books as a kid too.
I like my ladies lady-ish, feminine so to speak. I love jeans and hoodies, but the idea of being an ultimate tomboy does slightly confuse me.
It’s fun to be blond, and it’s almost difficult to remember how I used to look with my proper hair color.
The Japanese fans always send weird things.
I remember my first scene with Alan Rickman, and I was anxious because he is a slight ‘method’ actor; as soon as he is in his cloak, he walks and talks like Snape – it is quite terrifying. But I really wanted to talk to him because ‘Robin Hood’ was one of my favourite films.
I can’t wait to see how Dan and I will look when we are older.
It’s easy to bask in the sun, not so easy to enjoy the rain. But one can’t exist without the other. The weather always changes. Feelings of sadness and happiness deserve equal mental screen time.
We live in a world where we seem increasingly in need of ways to unify ourselves, ways to build bridges and feel as one. It strikes me that very few things have achieved these aims as successfully as the brilliant world of Harry Potter.
Helping others is a powerful weapon in the fight against mood disorders.
The only true currency we have in life is the effect we have on those around us.
An audience can go back and watch a film any number of times they want. It’s always there for them. For the cast and crew, the relationship with a film is more complex. The magic is in the making, and that process is a discreet unit of time in the past. You can reflect on that unit of time, you can be proud of it, but you can’t revisit it.
I dedicate this book to the Muggles who got me here.
Emma has taught me so many valuable lessons over the years, most importantly: don’t always follow the herd, never underestimate the power of a woman and, whatever you do, keep quacking.
As the actor who played Draco Malfoy, I see myself as a placeholder in people’s memories. Seeing me transports them to a different time and place, in the same way that listening to a particular song can be evocative of something else. I’ve met with fans who have explained that the books and films have helped them through hard times. It’s a humbling truth to hear.
