Q: Tell us about trying out for the Harry Potter movies. I imagine you were scared and nervous, were you? What did the director ask you to do? Were you surprised when you were told you had the part?

A: Really nervous. I wanted the role so so badly. It wasn't always the director, most of my auditions were taped, some auditions were lines from Harry Potter, others were just talking about myself. I was so excided I had the part, I didn't know what to do!!

Q: How was having a successful acting career changed your everyday life?

A: Not that much really, I still have the same friends and I still do the same things.

Q: When you were little did you ever dream of being an actress?

A: When I was three, my grandma has me on camera telling her I wanted to be a princess, a fairy, and an actress... at least one came true!

Q: How often do you see your family?

A: Not as often as I would like, but I go home every night, and I have weekends and stuff.

Q: What do you like best about being in Harry Potter movies?

A: The acting really at the end of the day. I love performing. I love the character I am playing. The opportunities it is bringing me, the people I am working with, the different places it takes me, it's amazing.

Q: Have you read all of the books? Which ones were your favorites?

A: I love the Harry Potter books. I was reading the third book (Prisoner of Azkaban) before I even started auditioning!

- 1 hour for lunch
