I hate celebrity culture but I`m unavoidably part of it. These people are celebrities as a by-product of what they do. People read every little thing about Peter Andre and Jordan and I couldn`t care less. They don`t want to work, have no interests, no passions, nothing and yet they seem to be held up on pedestals. I don`t think they should be trying to push themselves onto us. It does annoy me of course, but I`m part of it.

When I go back to school everyone asks a lot of questions. Then, after about a week, when I`ve answered everything, we get back to normal.

What everybody would love to see is me having ditched school and then just going wild. That`s what I`m determined not to give them.

I`ve never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don`t get the people who are cool. It`s not that I don`t like them, it`s just that they don`t interest me.

(On being bullied in school) Some people did get very aggressive. People say it was just jealousy, but I don`t think it is jealousy. I think it`s just `We can have a crack at the kid who plays Harry Potter.` As Eddie Izzard says, these people always hang about in fives, because people these have a fifth of a personality each.

I think I`m highly normal. I`m attending school after acting, I`m going out with friends, going to the cinema - I`m just doing everything a normal teenager does. People think I can`t leave the house without being in a crowd of fans - but that`s not true. I`m able to do more things than people might think.

I feel OK about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does ... but I`ve gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked.

I`m lucky enough to have a job that I love, and a relatively down-to-earth life.

It`s not so much that they don`t want me to grow up. It`s that they`re annoyed that I`m growing up adjusted. They`d much rather I was growing up and going wild and crashing cars.

[About the "Equus" paparazzi]: They were outside the theatre every single night, but we came up with a cunning ruse. I would wear the same outfit every time - a different T-shirt underneath, but I`d wear the same jacket and zip it up so they couldn`t see what I was wearing underneath, and the same hat. So they could take pictures for six months, but it would look like the same day, so they (photos) became unpublishable. Which was hilarious, because there`s nothing better than seeing paparazzi getting really frustrated.

People will always remember Harry, but I think if I work hard enough other characters will stick in their minds as well.

I didn`t look at the nudity and go, oh great. But it`s the same as doing a role with an accent or a particular affectation. You look at the character first. Lots of the actors that I`ve admired have at one stage or another taken their kit off. It`s a rite of passage. That iconic scene is the physical and emotional climax of the play. So if I do that with pants on, it would be crap.

[on saying that he`ll do all of the Harry Potter movies] "Ultimately it comes down to whether we`re still enjoying it. If we are then I think we would be sort of stupid not to do them. As long as I`m doing other stuff around the same time, I think it`ll be fine. Also, I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, there were bits in there where I was going, `God, I would love to do that because it`s so good.`"

(on whether he is religious) "I`m not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant... I`m very interested in religion as something to study, but I`m not a religious person in the slightest."

Everyone on the set has a mobile phone, and I found by pushing a few buttons, they could be programmed into different languages. I fixed Robbie`s (Coltrane) to speak in Turkish.

I don`t understand girls, but I`m slowly learning.

I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood capsule in my mouth, pretended to trip on the stairs and let the blood come out of my mouth. They really fell for it, then they chased after me with a water pistol.

When I get into trouble at school I`d like to take an invisibility cloak, drape it over me and sneak out the door. Or I`d like to have a 3-headed-dog because then no one would argue with me.

I`m thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.

Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it`s the minimum that I answer myself.

It`s too far down the road to decide about a fifth movie. I`m still the same age Harry is, and I haven`t actually grown that much.

Stage is much more intimidating than going before the cameras, because you can really screw up, and can`t do a retake.

"Too many little numbers on one page!" - about math

"I like them, but it`s hard to concentrate when the bats fly about, and they pee while they fly." [about the bats on the set]

I`ve never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don`t get the people who are cool. It`s not that I don`t like them, it`s just that they don`t interest me

I would consider doing any part as long as the script is good and the film has an interesting director.

On considering himself as a heartthrob: "Personally I can`t see it, but if other people can, fine. Cool!"

Upon seeing the movie: "I`m a bit nervous about whether people will like it, but I`ve seen it, and I`m sure they will. It`s really good - it`s quite scary, it`s quite emotional. Even I cried and I don`t cry easily! I cried at the end credits when my name came up, and I was, like, Oh my God! I can`t believe that`s my name! I`ve met so many people since we started filming and it`s been wonderful. I`ve progressed so far and changed so much since the beginning. It`s been like a real journey."

I`m not clumsy, I`m just accident prone.

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.

"Absolutely. 100 percent." [on believing in magic]

But I don`t think it`s going to happen. I don`t think I`ll do all of them - I`ll probably get too spotty or too tall or I`ll shrink or something.

I don`t know. People tell me I look mournful. They say, "Cheer up, Dan, it`s not that bad!" Sometimes I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I`m a happy person. Though I don`t, like, dot my "I`s" with hearts or anything - that would be too happy.

I`m not much of a cake person.

After being cast as Harry Potter: "I think I`m a tiny bit like Harry `cos I`d like to have an owl. Yeah, that`s the tiny bit, actually."
