Dan:

Are you looking forward to the romances in HBP?
Yes, I am! Particularly as Bonnie looks absolutely stunning tonight! She looks absolutely amazing tonight. So, yeah, VERY, very excited about that!

It's strange in a way that people fixate so much on this one kiss, when you're about to have massive make-out sessions with Ginny Weasley in "Half-Blood Prince."
I know! I knew Bonnie since she was 10, so that's going to be very odd! She's 16 now. It's going to be fine. It's going to be funny, I hope. It's a very unusual set of circumstances, because when you sign on to do the films you don't know what exactly you're agreeing to. But I don't look at the books as to-do lists, nothing that boring. But I did get nervous when I read that kissing scene. I'm less inhibited now, so I can look at it with more excitement than trepidation.

Emerson: Dan, are you looking forward to making kissy-kissy with Bonnie Wright?
Yes! I think that will be great. I saw Bonnie at the premiere the other day, she looked like Lily Cole. She just looked stunning. So, you know, I'm very excited about that! Yeah!

When Katie [Leung] came in to play Cho on the fourth film, it was very much the case when she came in, that we knew she was going to be a love interest of Harry's. Whereas, of course, when I first met Bonnie, she was just another character; she was, I think, 9-10 years old when I first met her, and so it's very strange. I've sort of grown up with Bonnie, and now suddenly having to play love interest scenes is very, it's kind of odd."

"Bonnie is loads and loads of fun and amazing and fantastic!!!"

Bonnie:

So how is your relationship with Daniel like in real life? Are you friends?
Yeah, definitely! Friends with him and all the cast members and it’s nice because we do keep in contact when we're not filming - since there is quite a big gap between the films, it would be a shame if we didn’t speak to each other until the next film.

Who else in the cast are you close to?
I'm close to Dan, Rupert, Emma, Katie and Evanna who's been in the later films. Umm, and James and Oliver - who play my brothers as well, - so definitely we’re close!

Did you go to see Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry star in Equus in the West End?
I saw it and I enjoyed it! For him it was definitely a good, good thing to do, because you're so easily typecast as a child actor and I think it's a good move. The play was just amazing - I was so wrapped up in it all.

What's your opinion on Daniel Radcliffe as an actor?
I think he's really, and everyone as well, has really improved. They've all become really good. So, it's nice to work with everyone, with the adults as well. It's interesting because there are only British actors involved in it. I think he has definitely developed.
