Sean: [On starring in the 'Harry Potter' films] Every now and again I have to check myself- it's strange to remember that you were in what was, at the time, the second biggest movie ever at the box office.
Sean: It can be a bit irritating when someone asks me how the new film's coming along when I haven't worked on Harry Potter for two years. Generally speaking, I have no problem with it. Most actors go through their careers without ever being involved in something so spectacular, so I think it would be a bit ignorant of me to object to being associated with it. Harry Potter is an amazing thing. I'm not just being diplomatic here either. I'm still reminded regularly of what a unique experience it was.
Sean : (When asked what magical item would he really use) They would all be dangerous amounts of fun but I think flying takes the cake. Flying while invisible could be a laugh.
Sean's childhood heroes were the Beatles.
