The Order of the Phoenix is a much darker movie. Did you feel it on set?

Yes, the plot goes darker and more tortured with each movie. But a lot of this depth and darkness is also due to David Yates, the director. He’s very emotional and subtle.

Have the HP movies influence your teenage years? Do you feel you’ve been losing your best years?

Yes and no. I don’t have the kind of freedom that most teenagers my age have. I can’t do whatever I want. Whether I like it or not, I’m constantly in the public eye, even at school. So I have to be kind of wary, but I’m not complaining. After all, maybe it’s a good thing.

Have you ever thought about giving up on your role?

Yes, a few times. It sometimes gives me headaches. Filming takes so long and demanding that I have wondered if all those efforts were worth the sacrifice of my time with my friends and family.
