The good thing about my part in 'Harry Potter' was that I was pretty well disguised. When I was walking down the street, there was no real recognition factor. Parents would sometimes call their children to come say hello to Mad-Eye, and the kids wouldn't know what they were looking at.

Like, people recognizing me on the street never interested me.

I see that people now recognize me in the street. But it doesn't change me in the depth of my being.

With 'Harry Potter,' I've been all over the world. I probably wouldn't have gone to New York so young if it weren't for the films.

I have had a few people recognise me in public. But I wouldn't like everybody to recognise me. I can still walk across the street and not be noticed.

Sometimes people are like, 'Hey, you played Dean Thomas!' and I'm like, 'Wow, you actually know!' It kind of shocks me because when I think about movies I love, and if I saw someone who essentially did what I did in Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't recognize them walking down the street.

I was working on 'Harry Potter' while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated.

I often get recognized on the street.

One week I was in school and the next I'm at Leavesden Studios in Dumbledore's office reading scenes with Daniel Radcliffe. Weird. And terrifying for such a huge 'Harry Potter' fan.
