Interesting Facts:

He attempted to read the first Harry Potter book when he was eight, but he could not finish it. He finally read the whole book when he was cast as the lead role of the film.

Has never actually seen the film The Tailor of Panama, in which he appeared.

He goes to an all-boys private school.

Pranks he's pulled:

"I played a trick on the make-up department where I put a fake blood capsule im 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."

"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 to speak in Turkish."

Quotes:

"I was in the bath when I found out that I got the roll of Harry Potter. I heard the phone ring downstairs,and later my dad came up to me and said,'Guess who they want to play Harry Potter?' And I cried."

"I'm not clumsy, I'm accident-prone!"

"I cried when I saw my name in the end credits!"

"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."

Does he believe in magic? "Absolutely. 100 percent."
