"Patience is required heavily in fishing and much the same with the film set. Obviously, some days it doesn't go as fast as you would have hoped or you would have expected.

Because sometimes it can be quite easy to sort of slump back if you have an hour or two to wait and it's important to make the most of the time with the cast and crew while you're still there."

"And I suppose it's going to be like graduating from school, or something like that, when you leave people you've learned to love and respect. This was a first job for everyone! So the thought of leaving Hogwarts and doing something else is both scary and exciting. It will be a mix of emotions on the last day, I think..."

"I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry.
