Daniel Radcliffe Quotes:
"I remember thinking, 'There are a million boys auditioning and I know I won't get it.'
"
"Everyone can relate to Harry in one way or another. I can relate to him, too. He's a boy who had had a very tough life,
because he's never learned about his parents and he has come to Hogwarts and found it to be a place where he really belongs.
He's very loyal and he's very determined and curious. He has a fantastic bond with his friends. He doesn't ley people put
him down. When someone puts him down, he only gets stronger, because it gives him a reason to want to do that thing that they
say he couldn't do."
"Harry has developed so much as a character. I had to develope myself, too, and now I have two instincts
- Harry's and my own."
"When people come up to me, I actually don't mind because they seem to be really enthusiastic about
the film."
"I don't really consider myself famous. People like Anthony Hopkins and Robert De Niro are famous. I've only
done a few things."
"It's Chris Columbus' legacy and I think he found someone who would carry it on."
"I was really
pleased with the movie. I hate watching myself, but I was kind of able to enjoy the film thanks to the direction, and, obviously,
the story and the script. And especially the cast. They kind of allowed me to sit back as if I wasn't in it. And I'm excited
about the second film, because the second book is my favourite. I love the dark storylines of the Basilisk, but there's also
the lighter storylines of Colin Creevey, Dobby, and Ginny Weasley."
"I'm just going to take it one film and book at a time.
Harry advances so much in each school year as he comes more out of his shell. If I'm thinking about playing Harry in the third
book or the fourth book or whatever, I could end up bringing his character from one of them and put it in the second, and
it just wouldn't look right. But if I'm still enjoying them as much as I am now, I'll do as many as they want me to do."
Rupert Grint Quotes:
"Ron's really funny, and you
kind of feel sorry for him because he's always got on hand-me-downs."
"I was like his (Harry's) biggest fan before
I even knew it was going to be a movie."
"It was so cool when I was cast! It was amazing. It was the coolest moment of
my life. I'd just be doing, like, school plays and stuff. One time, I was a fish in Noah's Ark. Now I'm in Harry Potter
- that's a big step."
"When I was reading the books, I always thought I could relate to Ron, because we both have
red hair, we both like sweets, we're both scared of spiders, and we both have lots of brothers and sisters."
"I'm a really
big Harry Potter fan and I don't think they will destroy the books at all. It's really spot on. When I walked into
the Great Hall at Hogwarts for the first time, it was absolutely incredible. There were all these effects, with all the candles
floating, food on the table, all the flamboes were lit - it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life."
"The
film's real great, I can't wait to cough up slugs!"
"I decided to do my own video, pretending to be on of my drama teachers.
I dressed up like my teacher, who's a girl, so it was kind of scary. Then I made up this rap song about how much I wanted
to be in the film."
"I think coughing up slugs was quite hard. I think it was plastic or something - at least I hope it
was plastic."
Emma Watson Quotes:
"It's the scariest thing and the
best thing that's ever happened to me."
"Some people came round to my school in Oxfordshire and said, 'Do you have anyone
who would like to audition?' So I had an audition at my school. I think I ended up doing over five auditions. My dad told
me, 'You do realize there are going to be, like, a thousand girls auditioning, right?' And I was kind of like, 'Oh, okay...
I'll um, keep that in mind.' I tried to enjoy it instead of desperately trying for it. I found out that I had gotten the part
when David Heyman invited Rupert Grint and me to come in. We sat down in his office - all very casual - and he said, 'You've
got the part.' I was so shocked and I just stood there and said, 'Pinch me.' "
"Getting the part is...intimidating. When
I got the part, I couldn't believe it because I was expecting someone to get the part who had professional acting experience.
But it's really exciting and it's been a really good experience for me. And I truly love the character, She's got some really
good lines. One of them is, 'I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed, or worse
- expelled.' I like her because she's really bossy and nerdy and all that kind of stuff. It makes her funny, even though she
doesn't realize it. A lot of people have asked if I am like her, but I don't think I am, really. She's a total bookworm and
will do anything to get top marks. I enjoy school, but I'm not obsessed with school. I also hope that I have better fashion
sense than she does."
"Chris Columbus is such a cool director. I haven't worked with any others, but I'm sure he's one
of the best. He would say the scene himself and say, 'How do you want to do it?' He wasn't really bossy and he wasn't telling
us what to do or say or how to act. He is a fantastic director."
"We did a lot of pranks. Once Daniel Radcliffe
brought in a remote-controlled whoopee cushion. He tried it on me, but it didn't quite work. Then he tried it on someone else
who was going to sit down on a massive sofa. When it went off, Chris Columbus said, 'Cut! What was that thing?' and everyone
burst into laughter. Dan pulled other pranks, too - like making labels that said 'Kick me' or 'Punch me.' He would stick them
on the backs of everyone who came into sight. It was really good."
"I reckon it's so successful because it's for all ages.
I've seen just as many adults reading Harry Potter books as I have seen children. It's kind of got a mix of everything
- comedy, adventure, and it can make people cry. J.K. Rowlings describes everything really well, because you kind of feel
like you know the characters.
"The first time I saw the film, I was like, "Oh my God," and I literally felt weird
for a few seconds, 'cause it's weird seeing youself on screen. And then the second time I watched it, I enjoyed it a little.
The third time I watched it, I actually picked up how they had done it and I really enjoyed it."
"Hermione sounds
like me and behaves like me, but I hope I have a better fashion sense than she does.
